How do student's feel when they have to write?
How do we go about the process?
Today we were able to browse through some websites with film reviews and select lexical chunks. We literally sat on the student's chair! Wonderful. Here is my film review. The underlined parts were chunks I previously selected and by re-contextualizing placed carefully in my piece of writing. Hope you enjoy it.

Intouchables unveils an astoundingly fresh approach to
stereotypes
Based on a true story, this laughter-packed non-English film is a pleasure for those who want
something different from the regular Hollywood-like films. This is the
most striking film about disability I have ever watched. It pictures an odd-couple
friendship between Phillipe (François Cluzet), a rich, handsome, cultivated
quadriplegic, and his new carer, Driss (Omar Sy).
Driss (Omar Sy), an intelligent, charismatic, uneducated young
working-class West African who has done time for robbery finds himself in
desperate need of a job. When he applies for a caretaker’s vacancy he
tries to impress with his natural wittiness. And so he does. Not only is his
employer attracted to his naïve approach to life but also to the fact that Driss
doesn’t have any prejudice whatsoever when it comes to the disabled. In other
words, Driss treats Phillipe as he would treat any other person. Philippe’s
household is completely changed by the coming of Driss.
The city of lights, Paris, was chosen to offer even more pleasure to the
viewer; therefore it is really a joy to the eye. Realistic shots filled with
real emotion, wrinkles and smiles play an important part when showing the no-nonsense
approach the makers have clearly chosen.
With an amazingly bold dose of humour does the film unfold towards a
more serious underlying reality of fear and desire which all human beings
experience. The contrasting physical appearance of the main characters and
their equally human desires become evident. A must-see film in which chuckle
and tissue sit side by side.
