Review of Legally Blonde

garry-32544

This is a movie about confidence. Elle Woods is a girl full of confidence. This is reflected in the following aspects:

1. When she decide to apply for Harvard Law School, she said "I can handle it".

2. The most impressive part is when she taught Paulette the skill of "bend and snap". Also she helped Paulette regain her confidence.

3. The fact that she won the case also showed her confidence. "Remembering that first impressions are not always correct, you must always have faith in people, and most importantly you must always have faith in yourself".

Topics for discussion:
1. What do you think about marriage? How will you choose your husband or wife in your different periods of life? (young, grown up, elder) (compromise with the reality or insist on your dreams)
2.Equivalent to “Blonde is stupid”, there are many other wrong sayings. Can you give some examples. (Chinese sayings and English sayings are both OK)
3. What ways do you use to build up your relation network?
4. Have you joined any student’ club? If yes, any help to you?
