Last week in class we watch this movie Stand and Deliver (I hope most of you are familiar with this movie), it's base on a true story. For homework I have pick one of the following questions she gave us and write a well developed response that fully develops my ideas and opinions. My response should be at least one written page. I'm supposed to pick one but my English teacher said that if we do more than one and type and print it, it counts as extra credit.
This is the first one. I'm going to post the second one. Please check to see if there any grammar errors and if it's good.
BTW ---- If you NEVER heard of the movie Google it and read about it on Wikipedia.
Urban Unit 2012 - Stand and Deliver Response
Did you learn anything from this movie? What was it? Write a paragraph explaining your reaction to the movie and what you learned from it. What would you have done in the same situation?
I learn a lot from the movie. I learned that you should try to challenge yourself in life and school is really important. Without education it can affect your life in many ways. Everybody needs to be able to read and write in order to make a living. People who don't have any education, not just reading and writing skills, but also math and science, will not get very far in life or in any dreams of what they want to do with their life. Education is important in the process of learning, working, and living. If I was in the same situation, I would retake the exam to prove myself that I could pass a test.
BTW --- is there any details I should add????
Looks good. I've made a couple of corrections (in boldface).

thank you
it said it should be at one written page
so... is this is good enough????
I don't think that will take a full page. What do you think you can add to it?
it said AT LEAST
but the question said to write a paragraph..... oops I forgot one detail!!! I'm going to check it, meanwhile please reply my other post (health and english)
Your response is a good start, but it could benefit from some further development and organization. Here's a revised version of your paragraph:
"After watching the movie Stand and Deliver, I came away with several valuable lessons. One of the key takeaways for me was the importance of challenging oneself. The movie emphasized the importance of education and how it can significantly impact one's life. Without a solid education, individuals may face limited opportunities and struggle to fulfill their dreams.
The film showcased the significance of not just basic literacy skills, but also the importance of subjects like math and science. It served as a reminder that a well-rounded education is necessary for success in various aspects of life. This resonated with me as it reinforced the notion that learning extends beyond the classroom and is indeed a lifelong journey.
As I reflected on the circumstances faced by the characters in the movie, I found myself pondering what I would have done in the same situation. If I were in a position where my abilities were doubted, I would definitely take it as a challenge to prove myself. I would retake the exam to demonstrate not only to others but also to myself that I am capable of passing a test and achieving success. The determination and perseverance demonstrated by the characters in Stand and Deliver inspired me to believe in my own abilities and face challenges head-on.
Overall, the movie Stand and Deliver taught me the significance of education in shaping one's future. It prompted me to realize that in order to accomplish my goals and lead a fulfilling life, I need to continuously challenge myself, embrace learning, and work hard to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge."
In this revised version, I have expanded on your initial ideas and added more specific details to support your thoughts. The paragraph now has a clear structure, starting with the lessons learned from the movie and concluding with your personal reflection. Remember to proofread your work to ensure there are no grammar or spelling errors.
