[Music] What shall we do this weekend? I don't know. What would you like to do?
Why don't we go to the pictures? That's a good idea. We haven't been to the cinema for ages.
What's on? Well, we could go and see the latest Star Wars movie. You know I hate sci-fi.
Thank you. I'd rather go and see that new romcom with Hugh Grant. I can't stand Hugh Grant.
He's a terrible actor. Well, it's either that or a three-hour French drama with subtitles. Let's just stay home and watch a DVD instead.
We can order a pizza! Listening Comprehension. Listen to the text and answer the true/false questions on your PDF.
I really enjoy going to the pictures and go to see a movie most weekends. I always check the film listings in the newspaper or online to see what's showing. I also read the film reviews because I don't want to see a bad film, especially as it's so expensive nowadays.
I prefer to arrive early at the cinema so I don't have to queue too long to buy a ticket. Sometimes the film I want to see is sold out, so I might buy a ticket for a later showing. I usually sit in an aisle seat somewhere in the middle of the cinema.
I think you can see the film better. You risk straining your eyes if you sit in the front few rows. One thing I don't like is when people in the audience talk during the movie, or check their mobile phones.
That really annoys me. Everyone should be able to enjoy the film in peace. My favorite films are Hollywood blockbusters.
I love the Avengers series and I can't wait to see the new Star Wars movie. However, I never go to see old black-and-white foreign films with subtitles. They can be so boring!
Questions. Now it's your turn to speak. I'm going to ask you a series of questions relating to the topic of this lesson.
Pause the recording to give yourself time to answer and don't just answer 'yes' or 'no'. Try to give as much information as possible. when did you last go to the cinema and what did you see?
Who did you go with? What sort of movies do you like best? What's your favorite movie and why?
What do you think about 3d movies?
