Castaway

One of the most famous castaways of cinema's history is Tom Hanks. He's the main character of Cast Away, a great movie from 2000. Tom Hanks obtained the Oscar for that role.

Here you've got a trailer from that film:





Cast Away had a lot of success. Even Fed-Ex, an important American messenger company, made a funny advertisement joking about that movie. Have a look!





Funny, isn't it?

When you are a castaway, if you want to be saved, you can send a message to the rest of the world. You can, for example, send a message in a bottle. The group The Police, from England, wrote a song called Message in a bottle . Listen to the song and read the lyrics.





Now imagine that you're lost in a desert island and you write a message in a bottle. You can use the letter in your book as a guide.

Good luck!
