What kinds of movies do you like to watch? Why? I like cartoons. Because they are always very funny. What about you? I prefer/especially like romance movies. Because they are very touched（受感动）.

Jenny, Brian and Danny are outside the library. They have just finished doing some research. Danny: It’s hard to believe movies are just over 100 years old. Jenny: Yes. But like the Internet or other similar technologies, movies have had such a big effect on us. Brian: I love watching movies. A movie is really an amazing piece of art and technology. I just found out the very first movies were made in France and Germany.

Jenny: That’s true. When movies were first created, they were not in colour. They were just moving pictures. Do you know that for those first movies, only a couple of people would act in front of the camera? Danny: Wow, that’s interesting! Movie making is so complex these days. Thousands of people can be involved in making a movie. And some movies, like Titanic can take years to make and cost a lot of money.

Jenny: Do you like Titanic, Danny? Danny: No. I like action movies. I love Bruce Lee and kung fu movies. I hope to learn kung fu someday. Jenny: I prefer science fiction. I learn a lot of interesting things from science fiction movies. What about you, Brian? Brian: I like comedies. I especially like Charlie Chaplin’s movies. He was a great actor. Comedies make people laugh and feel happy. I also like cartoons.

Danny: Watching a great movie while eating popcorn is a wonderful thing. I haven’t watched a movie for a long time. I hear Kung Fu Dinosaur III is on. Why not go and see it this weekend?

Learning Tip There are many types of movies: comedy, horror (scary), action, cartoon, suspense (thriller), fantasy, documentary, romance, science fiction, mystery, disaster, war, musical and more.
