Step 7 Dubbing

Step 8 Appreciation (to grasp the life philosophy through film lines)

Some classic lines in the film:　

1. Miracles happen every day.

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

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

4. If you are ever in trouble, don't try to be brave, just run, just run away.　

5. Life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.　

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

Read them aloud, choose the one you like best and explain reasons.

Can you share with us some classic lines from other films?
