Task I Read the dialogue and complete the task.
Two friends are trying to decide what film to watch.
- We could see The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It’s an old western.
- I saw that a few weeks ago with my dad.
- Did you like it?
- I found it boring. Too many cowboys and horses. I prefer horror films. Let’s get Friday the 13th. It’s a classic.
- I watched it last night on TV. It didn’t scare me at all.
- Well, what about a comedy with Jim Carrey?
- Again? We rented a comedy last week. How about Star Wars?
- No, not science fiction again. And no more adventure films, please. Let’s get something different.
- Well, what’s left? What about this one, A Love Story? Ha, ha!
- Yuk! Not a romance. No way. How about one with crime or a drama?
- I know! Silence of the Lambs with Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins. It won Oscars for best actress, actor and director in 1992.
- It’s also a horror film. Wicked – let’s get it.
