Movie--Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix


Harry returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts and discovers that much of the wizarding community has been denied the truth about the teenager’s recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort.

Movie--Breach

http://www.breachmovie.net/

Inspired by the incredible true story of the greatest security breach in US intelligence history, Breach is a spellbinding thriller starring Academy Award winner Chris Cooper, Ryan Phillippe, Academy Award nominee Laura Linney and Dennis Haysbert. Eric O'Neill (Phillippe) is assigned to work with renowned operative Robert Hanssen (Cooper), the sole subject of a long-term, top-secret investigation. Determined to draw this suspected double-agent out of deep cover, O'Neill finds himself in a lethal game of spy vs. spy, where nothing is as it seems. Critics are hailing Breach as "electrifying" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) and "suspenseful" (Ty Burr, The Boston Globe).

The Pursuit of Happyness


In The Pursuit of Happyness, Chris Gardner (Will Smith) is a family man struggling to make ends meet. Despite his valiant attempts to help keep the family afloat, the mother (Thandie Newton) of his five-year-old son Christopher (Jaden Christopher Syre Smith) is buckling under the constant strain of financial pressure. No longer able to cope, she reluctantly decides to leave.
Chris, now a single father, continues doggedly to pursue a better-paying job using every sales skill he knows. He lands an internship at a prestigious stock brokerage firm, and although there is no salary, he accepts, hopeful he will end the program with a job and a promising future. Without a financial cushion, Chris and his son are soon evicted from their apartment and forced to sleep in shelters, bus stations, bathrooms, or wherever they can find refuge for the night.
Despite his troubles, Chris continues to honor his commitment as a loving and caring father, using the affection and trust his son has placed in him as an impetus to overcome the obstacles he faces.

Summary:
Because children who learn a second language partake in an educational experience that expands their horizons in addition to their cognitive, social and affective capabilities; important goals of education indeed.
Suppose the students have similar language abilities but different learning styles! Hence the concept of Co-operative learning : students in heterogeneous groups with a mixture of personalities, talents and weaknesses learn better as they co-operate, instead of compete, and depend on each other for support and information.

summary:
Wong Yan and a few friends, all fresh graduates with a strong interest in Chinese literature, decided to create a haven for themselves. It was not as encouraging business-wise. However, his group disbanded, turning over their joint business to a different party instead.
Mr. Pang takes pride in the fact that he does not exercise censorship over books sold, offering to the public ones he finds useful or potentially appealing. He still has one yet-to-be-fulfilled aspiration - to open a bookshop with its own coffee area. The present shop is too small, he hope to open a bigger one.
