M: Do you feel like going to the cinema, Liz?
W: Oh yes, let’s do that, John.
M: Well, what shall we go and see?
W: What kind of films do you like?
M: Well, I like all sorts of films really...[12]My favourite sorts of films are, like Star Wars, you know, the fantasy, special effect ones that can make you escape into another world. Um... I also like mystery films. Do you like mystery films?
W: Yes, I quite like mystery films, but I don’t like horror films because they really give me nightmares.
M: Yes, I know. I don’t like horror films either. They’re sort of stupid and unbelievable.[13]But I do like crime films where you follow the detective and try to guess who the murderer is. Like Agatha Christie stories, you know. It’s very exciting to make out the murderer before the film tells us. And your ability of logical reasoning will become much better, if you see this kind of movie quite often.
W: Haha, what do you think of a film with Robert Redford or Paul Newman in it?
M: Oh, I don’t think much of either.
W: Oh, don’t you like them?
M: Well, I tend to prefer people like Clint Eastwood and...
W: Oh, no! I’m not keen on him at all!
M: Really?
W: No. What about a good comedy or a good musical?
M: No, I don’t like things like that really.
W: The trouble is[14]there are not very many good ones around these days. Why don’t we just ring up the Grand Cinema and find out what’s on? Then we can decide.
M: That’s a good idea.
