Dear Captain,

The winter holiday is coming. Yeah, I have been away from home for almost half a year. How I miss my family! Over the past half year, I have remembered the name of the other 3 girls' names in my dorm. Don't laugh at me, I told you I was dull at getting to know people. They are QQ, Shawn and Fay.

Captain, I had an exam this morning. After the exam, I watched a movie. I am sure you know the movie too. It's Forrest Gump, adapting from Winston Groom's novel Forrest Gump. I was moved and wept. Hmm, I am easy to be moved. In the movie, I saw Forrest's innocence and persistence. They touched my heart. How I wish I could meet a man like Forrest Gump.

I really love this movie. I have written down some impressive lines in my diary. Here are they:

Hello! My name's Forrest. Forrest Gump. Do you wanna Chocolate? I could eat about a million and a half o'these. My momma always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get.

Mama says,“Stupid is as stupid does.”

You got to put the past behind you before you can move on.

Miracles happen every day.

I don’t know if we each have a destiny, or if we’re all just floating around accidental—like on a breeze.

Death is just a part of life, something we’re all destined to do.

If there is anything you need, I will not be far away.

You have to do the best with what God gave you.

I could not tell where heavens stopped and the earth began. It's so beautiful...

Dear Captain, do you also like the movie? What do you think of it? I hope some day we can talk about this movie together...

                                                                                                                                  Yours sincerely
