Talking about Different Film Genres

-Hello, Aidana! Would you like to watch a movie today?

-Hello, Alina! Yes, sure! And what film should we choose? What is your favourite

film genre?

-Well, I like almost everything, for example, action films and comedies, westerns and animation. Some films can make me feel happiness and

joy, others fill my heart with thrill and shock.

-I agree. There are so many interesting films that it’s not easy to choose. My

favourite genres are sci-fi and fantasy. They are both about unusual places, crazy

creatures and courageous heroes who save our world!

-Yes, you are right. But frankly speaking, I don’t like fantasy films, because they

are like fairy-tales with supernatural objects, wizards and magic. I think only

small kids can watch these kinds of movies.

-Well, sci-fi films are similar. Of course, their plots are based on science and

technologies, but anyway they usually tell the audience about far-future space and

time-travel stories…

-Yep. Ok, let’s look at what is on this week. There is one horror film called “The

Dark and the Darkest”. It’s got vampires in it.

-Oh, that sounds good. I am not keen on scary stories, though people think they

might be exciting and breath-taking. But if I watch it, I will be able to write a

film review for my English lesson next week.

-Ok, deal! The film starts at 7.30 p.m. Let’s meet at the cinema at 7 o’clock.

Great! See you later.

-Bye.
