Unit 4: Watching Movies

Movie goers love talking about movies, especially if they enjoyed watching a film.
Try to share your thoughts on the kinds of movies you like.

Answer A:

I believe that movies are supposed to make us feel good, so I love comedy movies. I always get
stressed at work so every time I see a film, I choose to watch something that would make me
laugh and forget all my worries. My favorite movie is “Bruce Almighty” starring Jim Carrey. It was
about a man given the chance to be God for seven days. Jim Carrey was a natural comedian
and I had so much fun while watching. I also learned valuable lessons about life as I saw the
movie, like being responsible for the decisions and actions that we make.
