My Favourite Film

Shrek 2 is my favourite movie because it is funny, emotional, and very enjoyable every time I watch it. I first saw this movie when I was younger, and since then, I have watched it many times. Even today, I never get bored of it. For me, Shrek 2 is one of the rare sequels that is even better than the first movie.

One of the main reasons why I love this film is the humour. The movie is funny for children, but also for adults. There are many jokes, parodies, and references to fairy tales and pop culture. Characters like Prince Charming and the Fairy Godmother are very entertaining, and Donkey always makes me laugh. Of course, I watch the movie in English to keep improving and get two things done at once.

Another reason is the story and the characters. Shrek is not a perfect hero, and that is why he is interesting. In this movie, he doubts himself and feels insecure, especially when he meets Fiona’s parents. The film talks about important themes like self-acceptance, love, and confidence. Fiona is also a strong character who supports Shrek and stays true to herself.

Finally, the music and the animation are amazing. The songs are iconic, especially the final scene with “Holding Out for a Hero”. This scene always gives me energy and makes the movie unforgettable.

For all these reasons, Shrek 2 is more than just a cartoon for me. It is a movie that makes me laugh, think, and feel good every time I watch it.

My Favourite Book

Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins is my favourite book because it is very inspiring and powerful. This book is not just a story, it is a lesson about mental strength, discipline, and pushing your limits. When I read it, it really changed the way I think about effort and motivation.

In this book, David Goggins tells the story of his life. He had a very difficult childhood, with poverty, violence, and many problems. Later, he became overweight and unhappy. Instead of giving up, he decided to completely change his life. Through hard work and discipline, he became a Navy SEAL, an athlete, and a very strong person mentally and physically.

What I like most about this book is the message. David Goggins explains that the mind is often the biggest limit. He talks about leaving your comfort zone and facing pain and difficulty to grow. One important idea from the book is that we are often capable of much more than we think. This message is very motivating.

Personally, this book helps me when I feel tired or unmotivated. It reminds me that progress comes from effort and consistency, not excuses. It encourages me to work harder in my studies and to believe in myself.

For me, Can’t Hurt Me is not just a book I read once. It is a book that pushes me to become stronger and more disciplined every day.
