[20:22.85]and it certainly brings much relaxation
[20:25.76]and a lot of fun into my life.
[20:28.61](2)I often go to movies at my leisure time.
[20:36.64]Among all the Chinese movies,
[20:39.98]I like crouching Tiger,Hidden Dragon best.
[20:43.40]The movie is adapted from a famous Chinese novel
[20:47.62]and the story is fantastic.
[20:50.35]The director is from Taiwan. He's really gifted.
[20:54.78]And I like all the actors and actresses in the movie.
[20:58.92]They're from different parts of China,
[21:01.48]and all of them are popular stars.
[21:04.25]I like the music in this movie particularly.
[21:07.67]It's very beautiful.
[21:10.08]You'd better not miss the opportunity to watch this movie.
