In my opinion, watching movie activity plays an important role in students' writing skill. Like writers, the movie directors struggle to make their movie into memorable experience. Their aim is that the dialogue and visual used throughout the movie stick with you. One of the best tips for improving writing is watching movie, try to see the detail, by this way when you write, you will be able to explain the setting in many meaningful words. Take the example at Bui Thi Xuan high school, through the video students can have a lot of vocabularies, grammar and develope their narative skill. It's good for students to widen their memory, learn many things useful through the videos.

From the demo movie of a writing class at Bui Thi Xuan high school, I found some following Strengths and weaknesses of writing class demo movie.
+ Strengths : Movie is an effective tool for teachers to use with students. besides developing writing skill, movies can improve not only students' listening and speaking skills but also their pronunciation and vocabulary. Moreover, movies contain both pictures and sound that can keep students' interest in learning English.
+ Weaknesses : it takes long time to watch a movie so that students may get bored soon. Some students prefer watching actors or actresses to focusing on the main instructional goal. in addition, some movies can cause students think and imagine something illogically.
To overcome the disadvantages of movie, English teachers should teachers should use short English movie to save time in learning and teachers should select a good educational English movie to use teaching english.

Theo tôi điểm mạnh của hoạt động xem phim có tác dung nâng cao kỹ năng viết cho học sinh và giúp học sinh ôn lại từ vững cũng như ngữ pháp và cách phát âm trong khi các em diễn xuất. Bên cạnh đó các hoạt động xem phim làm cho tình huống trong lớp trở nên thú vị và hào hứng. Nó cũng làm cho học sinh thích thú trong quá trình dạy và học trong các hoạt động.
Điểm yếu: còn có một số học sinh chưa tham gia tích cự trong giờ học còn lơ lài. xem lâu các em thấy nhàm chán không tập trung vào nội dung của giáo viên yêu cầu.

In the video demo, the teacher follows the steps of teaching a forty five minutes lesson. Teacher uses the pictures and map to show the students where and how the cities are. The interaction between teacher - students and students - students are good. The teacher combines variety of activities that students can work in groups or individually. Moreover, in this lesson students improve not only writing skills but also other skills like speaking skills, presentation skills. However, some activities are too long and the students feel bored. Besides, it's a large class so the teacher cant cover all of the students.

Having watched the demo movies of a writing class, i would like to give some opinions. In general, this is a successful class. The teacher becomes the instructor and a responder to students' writing. The students are very active. They become the performers in the lesson. The interaction between the two is smooth. Teacher presents the lesson in a correct process. As a result, Students' products are visible.
However, I see that in different areas, to teach a writing lesson in that way is impractical. The lesson can be longer or even stressful.

From the movie I have watched, I see that this is an interesting lesson. Teacher's preparation is quite good with many kinds of activities, beautiful pictures, posters, and magnets. The students are active and motivated. The cooperation between teacher and students, students and students is good, too. The lesson focuses not only on writing but also on speaking and listening skills. The only thing about this class I am considering is that it takes too long and it should be focused more on writing skill.

In my opinion,the strength of the techniques and activities the teacher used is making students find interesting and enjoying the lessson. The atmostphere of the classroom becomes funny. Futhermore, it also helps students get knowledge of vocabulary and grammar that are useful for their writing skill. But some lazy students may be absorbed and forget their main taks in the lesson.

Nowadays, movies have become the spiritual food that always comes along with our lives. However, because almost all movies have both strengths and weaknesses, there are not only positive but also negative attitudes of the viewers toward them. 2012 has also received such a wide range of mixed reviews about its quality.
