Hugh Grant plays William Thacker, the l- owner of a small bookstore in
London‟s Notting Hill (described as “a small village in the middle of a city”). He‟s an
average Joe – When he‟s not working, he spends time with his friends and his wacky
Welsh 2- flatmate, but has no romantic life to speak of. One day, however, the bedrock
of his existence shifts when Anna Scott (Julia Roberts), the most famous 3- actress in
the world, walks through the door to his little 4- shop. Anna is in London to publicize a
new film. Later, William literally runs into her in the street, 5- spilling orange juice all
over her. 6- Embarrassed, he invites her to his place to clean up. Much to his surprise,
she accepts his 7- offer and, after changing outfits, she gives him a lingering 8- kiss on
the lips. William is immediately smitten and so, apparently, is Anna. Thus begins a 9-

4. tempestuous relationship that asks whether a star can live happily ever after with
someone who has never had his face in the 10- papers.

8) Choose one of the options below and write a text of about 100 words.
a) Sum up the story of the film.
b) Choose one character and write about him/her (you can choose more than one).
Anna Scott is one of the main protagonists. In the movie she is one of the most
well-known actresses of the world and is visiting London to launch her latest movie.
Physically speaking she is skinny, tall, white skin, brown hair and dark eyes. Her
behavior shows that she is an intelligent woman but she struggles at maintaining her
private life separated from the media. She seems calm, nonetheless when she felt
betrayed by Will she lost her temper. Emotionally it can be said that she is not happy in
her relationship and by chance while in the city she meets William who she instantly
falls in love with.
