USE IT! Work in pairs. Nominate your favourite book, actor, film, director or writer for an award.
I nominate My Sweet Orange Tree for an award because it is a sweet and touching book as well as a highly educational work.
I think that Parasite should win an award because the film shows social inequality and class struggle, and it has originality, humor, and emotional depth.
