Lesson 4 : Films
Yes, I like watching movies. It is the best way to pass time and also if we are watching a film with our family it helps to create a lot of memories and deepens the bond.
I prefer watching movies which have more comedy, suspense. I also like thriller and adventure and horror movies
If I am watching a film with my family then I prefer films from my country. But if I’m watching alone or with friends, I prefer all kinds of movies.It depends upon the atmosphere and the mood too
I’m not a movie buff. But if it’s an occasion like a get-together or a family function, then I watch a movie. Also if I’m getting bored or I don’t have many tasks to complete then I prefer watching a movie
Describe a film that you have recently seen.
You should say
how you felt about this film.
what the film was when and where you saw it
what the film was about and explain
Well, Hollywood blockbusters are very popular here, films like Titanic and Saving Private Ryan. Also, Hong Kong films are very popular because the stars are well known here. Kung Fu films are popular because this art form originated here. Of course, love stories are very popular as Chinese historical films.
Well, I think that old people like to watch stories about their country since they were so involved in this time period. They also like to watch a variety shows that show native singing and dancing from different parts of China. Young people, on the other hand, go for foreign films, as I already mentioned. There are some films that both young and old like to watch such as Chinese historical movies.
Oh, I think that people can learn so much from films. You know there is an old saying that goes “A wise man learns from his mistakes, but a wiser learns from the mistakes of others.” Just by watching a movie and seeing what a character does in certain circumstances, can help you to know what is right to do or no to do. You can see picturesque sceneries that you might not be able to see if it were not for movies. So definitely, you can learn from watching films.
Absolutely not, I think film actor salaries have just gotten way out of hand, I know that some of them are very good actors and do the job they have to do well, but when I think of all that money and what else could be done with it, I just cant seem to justify it. When you pay people this much money, it absolutely makes them larger than life and reality can become a little blurred.
I believe in it. I think that some of the stuff that is available to the public is just pure garbage. Not censoring would be like allowing garbage to be strewn around your living room. I believe in freedom of speech and having a right to say what you think, but I believe that also goes along with a sense of responsibility of who would be around to hear it. Some things are just not fit for all audiences. Maybe censorship can go too far but if you have a good balance in what is censored it is not such a bad thing.
