Dear David
Things are going great here in Cannes, France. I?m excited to be here. I have only been at the film festival for two days, but have already seen four films. When the films are not on at the cinema, I like to watch all the fashionable people down at the beach. Everywhere you look, there are famous film stars and directors, I saw three of my favorite stars walking around the festival yesterday. I was too nervous to talk to them, though.
I did not realize that this festival was so old. It was first held in 1946. At this year?s festival, around twenty films are competing for the main prize, the Palme?s Or (金棕榈奖). The films are from all around the world—Europe, Asia, North America, Africa… Some of the people who choose the winner this year are also great actors and directors.
There are a lot of excellent Hollywood films as well, though they are not considered for prizes. There are so many different types of films, and lots of them are from countries which are not famous for the film—making business. For someone who loves films like me, this is Heaven!
Since you?ll be coming here next week, let me give you some suggestions. First, you?ll need to remember to bring your invitation, because you cannot watch any of the films without one. Since you work for a newspaper like me, it should not be a problem to get an invitation. We are both very lucky, although I feel sorry for all the ordinary people who cannot watch the films and have to stay outside.
Second, you?ll need to bring some nice clothes. While during the day everyone walks around in T-shirts and shorts, in the evening, everyone has to wear formal (正式的) clothes. Therefore, you need to bring a black dinner jacket. I am wearing a long dress all the time!
