托福IBT高分作文範文：電影是嚴肅的還是娛樂化的
The question of what kind of movie to watch is a familiar one in my home. While my father does not care formovies a great deal, my mother is very fond of this kind of entertainment. Unfortunately, her tastes are verydifferent from mine, and she mostly likes movies that fall into the light entertainment category. I, on the other hand,do not enjoy watching movies that aim only to amuse. Generally, I derive a greater sense of enjoyment from moviesthat get me to think, because I can find better light entertainment elsewhere and I consider movies a serious artform.
Sometimes, of course, I enjoy movies that amuse or entertain lightly in order to distract myself from theseriousness of everyday life. Humorous movies such as slapstick comedies are my favorites amongst the amusingones, and every once in a while I even enjoy a romantic comedy. These movies offer a kind of escape. However,there are other ways of distraction that I prefer. For example, I enjoy taking long walks or listening to music muchmore than I enjoy watching a flick that means to accomplish nothing more than diversion. Movies, to me, areserious business.
I tend to look at movies as an art form that should engage its audience and also challenge them. Of course thereare different ways to accomplish these two goals. A director might make creative use of stylistic means such asediting or lighting or camera movement. Together with the screenwriter he/she might find ways to present arelationship between classical or stereotypical characters in a complex and innovative way. Ideally, he/she willpresent an important social issue from a point of view that has not been thoroughly discussed. Thus, through his/herwork, he/she will make his/her audience think about questions they had not considered before. Thereby, they willadd to the discussion and make a contribution to culture and society. In my opinion, this is the goal of all art and thusit should also be the goal of movie making.

Tyrannus，是羅馬最棒的戰士，他在角斗場上戰無不勝，並崇拜為男人中的冠軍。Tyrannus年輕時曾是一名奴隸，因為他威猛的戰鬥力和良好的聲望，以及對羅馬的貢獻，而給Caesar留下了深刻的印象。Caesar決定賜予他自由身，也因此得到了Tyrannus的效忠和友誼。然而，元老院開始執行他們醞釀已久的陰謀，試圖將護衛Caesar的Tyrannus從Caesar身邊引開。Cassius和Brutus綁架了Tyrannus的兒子Piso(皮索)。Tyrannus趕去營救，並殺死了綁架者。當他意識到這場綁架背後隱藏的陰謀時，一切都太遲了，Brutus帶領一群叛軍刺殺了羅馬共和國的統治者Julius Caesar。在斷氣前，Caesar讓Tyrannus發誓將誓死保衛他的繼任者，18歲的侄子Octavius(奧克塔維厄斯)。
