Matilda Wormwood is a very clever and talented girl.
One of the great things about her is her love of books. Her family do not understand her and are not interested in her or her wishes. Her father, who sells old cars, refuses to buy her books. Matilda feels very lonely. At the age of four she takes matters in her own hands and begins to visit the library and read lots of books. Though Matilda is too young she asks her parents to send her to school and in the end they agree to do it. At school quite unusual things begin to happen. Matilda finds out that she can move objects. These wonderful telekinetic powers help her to punish the terrible and violent School Head Miss Trunchbull who terrorizes pupils. In the film Matilda believes that when a person is bad, he or she deserves to get a lesson.
There are two types of grown-ups in “Matilda”. Mr and Mrs Wormwood, the girl’s parents, and the Trunchbull, as the children call her, are not pleasant people. They are rather cruel and uncaring. Matilda’s teacher, Miss Jennifer Honey, is, by contrast, kind and she quickly discovers Matilda’s intellectual gifts. The girl develops a warm friendship with Miss Honey.
I think “Matilda” is one of the best films I have ever seen. The actors’ performance is fantastic, the special effects are great, the music is nice.
But the most important thing about the film is that it helps us to develop our imagination and understand the world around us better.
When I walked into the busy office, the secretary was talking on the phone with a customer, several clerks were busily working at their desks, and two managers were quietly discussing methods to improve customer service.

6. When I entered the bazaar, a couple of merchants were busily bargaining and trying to sell their goods to naive tourists who were hunting for souvenirs. Some young boys were leading their donkeys through the narrow streets on their way home. A couple of men were arguing over the price of a leather belt. I walked over to a man who was selling fruit and bought a banana.
