Evening classes

Recently I decided to go to evening classes twice a week. During the day I work in a ____________________ agency as a telephonist. It is not a very interesting ____________________ and I get bored.

Perhaps I should give you an ____________________ for my choice. Learning a skill is a good ___________________ to the problem of boring work.

Film review

'Battle for your heart' is the new film starring Hugh Grace. I'm afraid that my first ____________________ was not very favourable. The scenes of violence are ___________________ and the main character, Tony, is simply ____________________. The audience is supposed to feel great ____________________ for Tony, an army officer, who is accused of ____________________ because he fails to attack the village where the ____________________ Miranda lives with her old father. Tony saves their lives, and although the idea of marrying him has little ____________________ for her, Miranda agrees to it out of ____________________. However, she is still in love with Alex, one of the enemy army, and wants to remain __________________ to him. The dialogue and the acting are just as bad as the plot. At the end, I breathed a sigh of _____________________. This is definitely one to miss!
