Lesson 6: Reading & Writing INTERESTS

Part 1

Read the magazine article.

Most popular travel movie 2003-2013

Every ten years I have to decide on the top travel movie of the past decade.
It's not easy to choose just one, so here are my top two.
Number 1: Peru Journey
This movie came out nine years ago, but every time I see it, it makes me want to
go to Peru. The information is interesting, and the scenes of Peru are amazing. I
particularly like the scenes of Machu Picchu. One of the bad things about the
movie is that it is three hours long. Have some snacks before you start it!
Number 2: Across Africa
This movie came out last year, but it isn't your usual travel movie. It's the story
about how one family traveled across Africa. It took them four years, and during
that time, there were many problems. The music is amazing, but the acting could
be better.

Complete the sentences.

l. In the first paragraph, the word decade means ________ _
2. The movie about Peru came out in ________ _

3. The good thing about the second movie is ____________ _
