But now, let's start with a question: what kind of films do you like?

I guess you'd call it a thriller, but it's also kind of a modern western, because a lot

of it takes place in the desert, or small-town America.

I can't watch anything violent, horror films, anything like that.

I like dramas, historical films, things like that.

I like stories that focus more on real people.

I also have a weakness for cheesy rom-coms occasionally.

Yeah, I guess we have somewhat opposite tastes!

I'm a big fan of horror films, thrillers, and so on.

In the dialogue, you heard a lot of words for different kinds of films.

Do you remember any of the words we mentioned?

We'll give you a few seconds. Try to remember three.

You heard: 'thrillers,' 'horror films', 'westerns', 'dramas', 'historical

A western is a film set in 19th century America, often featuring cowboys.

'Rom-com' is a short form of 'romantic comedy'.

Can you think of any other kinds of film which we haven't mentioned?

Maybe you said 'action', 'comedy', 'cartoon', 'fantasy', 'musical'

'Sci-fi' is a short form of 'science fiction'.

Sci-fi films are set in the future, often in space, and usually feature very advanced

The Star Wars films are probably some of the most famous sci-fi films.

Fantasy films often feature magic, dragons, monsters, and things like that.

The Lord of the Rings films are good examples of fantasy films.

Does your language have different words for 'fantasy' and 'sci-fi'?

Some languages don't; if this is true in your language, be careful with the difference!

If someone's talking about a film, and you want to know what kind of film it is, you

You could also say: 'What sort of film is it?'

To answer, you can just say: 'It's an action film'; 'It's a thriller'; 'It's

With some words, you need to say 'film' afterwards, like: 'action film', 'horror

film', 'historical film' or 'sci-fi film'.

With other words, you don't say 'film' afterwards, like: 'drama', 'thriller',

So, don't say: 'It's a thriller film'; just say, 'It's a thriller.'

If you want to ask someone about their taste in films, you can ask: 'What kind of films

Asking 'are you into' is a more conversational way to ask 'do you like'.

Can you answer this question with two to three sentences?

Next, let's look at how you can introduce one film which you've seen, and tell someone

I can't believe I didn't see it when it was on in the cinema.

I guess I'd call it a drama, but it's a bit of a black comedy, too.

I'm guessing that if it's a Woody Allen film, it's probably set in New York?

No, although the main character is a New Yorker.

I might be mistaken, but I think I read a book with a title like that.

If you want to know more about a film which someone saw, what questions could you ask?

You might ask things like: 'Who was the director?'

Do you know what the question 'Who's in it?' means?

It's a short way to ask 'Which actors are in the film?'

It could be something you saw recently, or maybe a film which you particularly like.
