It was also originally a nursery tale book written by Dr Seuss. Its the story of a green monster who wants to ruin Christmas but who in the end discovers the power of love and generosity. I promise its a great film with plenty of laughs along the way.Love Actually (2003)While this is not a personal favourite of mine, people in the UK absolutely love this film. It has many featuring actors and actresses. It might be a little difficult to follow as there are complex plots, so I recommend watching a translated version or enabling subtitles (字幕) in your native language. However, the heart-warming elements of the film make it worth watching.Home Alone (1990)This amusing masterwork is one of my favourite films of all time. It tells the story of a boy, Kevin, who is left alone in his house when his large family forgets to take him on vacation with them. While the families are away, burglars try to rob the house and Kevin must protect his home by setting traps. The trips, falls and traps will have you laughing out loud as you watch a 10-year-old boy beat two grown men.Miracle on 34th Street (1994)You cant have Christmas in an English-speaking country without watching this movie. Its not funny like Home Alone or The Grinch, but it is incredibly touching. Its about a man who claims to be Santa, but nobody believes him except a lawyer and a little girl.

As we were walking toward the first mile, we actually started joining all the runners, he said. Everyone was on the streets, cheering, and that was a magical moment. As time went on, the crowds and other racers spread around. Kindleysides and his team of eight supporters continued walking. Kindleysides, who is paralyzed(瘫痪的)from the waist down and typically uses a wheelchair, was equipped with an exoskeleton(体外骨骼)to help him walk. His supporters walked with him to change the batteries in his exoskeleton so he could keep moving. In 2013, Kindleysides was diagnosed with a brain tumor (肿瘤) that was growing in a way that pressed on certain nerves, leading to him losing feeling in his legs. He was told he would never walk again. Before his paralysis, the London-based singer and dancer had always wanted to run a marathon, he said, but he never made the plan to do so-until this year. During the London Marathon, the last two miles were the hardest. At that point, I was exhausted. It was freezing cold, and I was hurting emotionally, Kindleysides said. But he kept going. I didnt want to let people down. I had a team of eight, and I was raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity, he said. I didnt want to let them down, myself down, and I thought if I would get this far, I would have to continue.So he continued and made history as the first paralyzed man to complete the London Marathon on foot. Then, recovering at home, he shared his accomplishment with his three children. They used to say Im the only dad in their whole school whos in a wheelchair, and now they say Im their dad, the only one who has walked a marathon, he said. Kindleysides is training to complete three more marathons next year, including the London Marathon again.4.Why did Kindleysides supporters accompany him all the way?ATo help change the batteries.
