Research Task: Jackie Chan.

Task Description: Today I was learning about Jackie Chan Movement. This task was little hard for me. It was hard because the fourth page was make a list of  7 films that Jackie Chan is known for. On the fifth page I kinda didn’t want to show my face doing movements like the pictures. On the seventh page, I had to do some questions about his martial arts.  I really love the questions I did for Jackie Chan. I wish to meet Jackie Chan. How about you? do you want to meet Jackie Chan?
