“Tired of watching
dull films, Bogey?”
Are you tired of watching boring films, too? The
English department of Escuela de Idiomas Tres Cantos gives you the chance to
become a top screenwriter for a day: use one of the sentences below (depending
on your level), which have been taken from different films, to start your own
story with. The story needs to be
between 100 and 150 words long depending on the level ( Basic level 100,
Intermediate level 125 and Advanced level and C1 level 150) and must definitely
not be based on the films where these lines appeared originally. Hollywood
needs you!
Good luck, and may the imagination be with you!

- “There’s no place like home”
