　　Have you ever seen the following films about seas? What do you think of them? Choose one of them and tell your classmates.

　　Finding Nemo tells the story of clownfish Marlin and his only son Nemo. Nemo is a clownfish in Chinese. In the sea, Marlin and Nemo lead a safe and quiet life. Like all the fathers, Marlin tries to protect his son from being hurt. But Nemo is eager to explore the reef (岛礁)．

　　One day, Nemo was captured by a cruel man. Then he put Nemo and many fish to a big tank. After the coward (胆小的) father knew it, he went to rescue his son and of course all the animals in Barrier Reef helped him find his naughty son, Nemo. In doing so, Marlin overcame his fear and rescued his son.

　　In my opinion, Finding Nemo is similar to The Lion King. I like Nemo, a boy who likes risking very much. He is very lovely and always full of naughty.
