came now
Marco: Oh, good I'm glad you liked it
Sarah: And it was great to see scenes of London in the background I’m sure I recognised the hotel where we
stayed last year
Marco: I wasn't sure it was London at first, but then I recognised the place we stayed, too It was nice to see it,
wasn't it?
Trang 33
Sarah: My legs are too stiff from sitting for too long Over three hours
Marco: At least I didn't notice the time going by at all, though I was interested in the film I thought it was good
I usually hate long films! I often find them a bit boring
Sarah: Well, the man sitting next to me didn't find it as interesting as you did Did you see he fell asleep after
fifteen minutes?
Marco: Oh, I didn't notice
Sarah: And the two women in front kept talking right through the exciting bits I couldn't concentrate I was very
angry
Marco: It's a shame they talked when the main actor was on screen I can’t remember his name, but I liked his
acting He was brilliant
Sarah: You're right He must be a new actor I haven't seen him him before He’s obviously going to have a great
career
Marco: And the director's really good, too I think I prefer the other films he’s made, though His earliest one was
probably the most interesting
Sarah: Oh, I must see that, then Perhaps we can get it on DVD
Marco: Good idea We could stop at the shop on the way home and see if they’ve got it
Sarah: Right
1 Sarah was expecting to enjoy the film
2 Marco and Sarah agree that the city in the film was London
3 Marco feels that the length of the film made it rather boring
4 Sarah was upset about how some of the audiences behave during the film
5 Sarah was disappointed with the way the main actor performed
6 .Marco thinks this film is the best the director has made
10 Decide which film (A-E) would be the most suitable for the people (1-5)
1 Ryan likes watching old-fashioned films on TV He prefer particularly those with famous actors He is not keen
on musicals or thrillers
2 Tom's hobby is reading and he enjoys watching films on TV whose stories are taken from literature His favourite books are those by famous authors of the past He reads books about the cinema, too, and likes watching famous actors
3 Elena likes to relax by watching the latest romantic films on TV, especially if they make her laugh She particularly likes those which have some music in them
4 Belinda enjoys watching thrillers She prefers adventures which actually happened to people in real life, as she is interested in the lives of other people
5 Carol loves listening to pop music and reading magazines about it She doesn't mind what sort of film she sees,
if it's a new one about pop stars or their music
A The moon and stars
This follows the usual love story - boy meets girl, they fall in love and sing some songs about it It's an enjoyable film, although there's nothing special about the singing, and it has its amusing parts It comes to the TV screen very quickly, as it was only made a year ago
B Mad for music
This film came out last month, and all the young people are queuing to see it There will be a whole generation
of fans watching because the music of this group, Sure Fire, is everyone's favourite at the moment
C The house by the lake
Although the main roles are all acted by well-known stars of film or TV, I got bored by the dialogue which seems so slow compared to modern films However, people who like Henrietta Browne's writing will enjoy it because it is beautifully filmed, and the story keeps perfectly to the novel written two hundred years ago
D Seaside story
This funny film was made in the past, but is still as good as it was 25 years ago when I first saw it The main actors, who were already famous when it was made, made several more films together later on The story takes place in a very unusual hotel at the seaside where the guests have lots of problems
E Shooting for freedom
Photographer Valerie Maine planned to work in a dangerous part of the world for six weeks This adventure film tells how she escaped from the people who held her prisoner for over a year It is difficult to believe that this actually happened to someone who is still alive
11 Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the word given
in brackets
The the weather
There is nothing this week
Is can swim?

12 Read the passage and choose the best answer
I went to the cinema last week and laughed all the way through the new film Waiter! which is set in a restaurant
American actor Tom Waters pplays the worst cook the world has ever seen and he employs one of the worst waiters, played by Joe Vermont
The London restaurant where the filming took place does actuaally exist Jane Connors, the owner, runs a
successful business with many regular customers However, although she thinks Waiter! is a good film, she is
very annoyed with the director When she agreed to the filming, she wasn't told that the film is about a restaurant where everything goes wrong and the food is disgusting Although the film might make Jane's restaurant famous
if it is a success, she is afraid that people will stop coming because they will think the food and service is terrible - like it is in the film Jane is worried she will lose business and may even have to close and start again with a new restaurant
Having seen the film, I agree that she has a problem The film company paid her a very small fee, and she has since asked for more The best solution, though, is for her to contact the newspapers I am sure they will be interested and it will actually help her business in the end
