    ENTERTAINMENT

    SPEAKING
    What's the nicest place for you to spend
    your free time?

    Ask a question

    1 Yeah, at the weekends, of course. I go shopping, go to


    the cinema, go clubbing sometimes. I don’t tend to
    during the week, though, because I’ve got to get up early
    for school and I’ve got homework, and basically my
    parents prefer me to stay at home.
    2 Yeah, all the time. My headphones are glued to my
    ears! I like all kinds of stuff as well – rock, pop, even
    some classical.
    3 Not as much as I’d like to, because I really love it –
    especially musicals. I mean, I do go now and again, but
    the seats are so expensive I can’t afford to go more than
    a couple of times a year.
    4 Very rarely, to be honest. I guess I might in the
    summer – if it’s very hot. I find it a bit boring, just
    going up and down the pool. It’s not really my kind of
    thing – and I’m not very good at it either.
    5 Probably less than I think I do, if you know what I mean.
    It’s always on in the background, you know, but I don’t
    pay much attention to it most of the time. I will watch a
    big game if there’s one on and the occasional film, but
    apart from that, most of it’s rubbish.
    6 Yeah, I guess so. I usually play football on a
    Wednesday and I go running now and again. I
    generally cycle to college as well – unless it’s raining.
    7 No, not as a rule. I tend to watch films on demand
    through my TV at home. Oh, and I download quite a lot of
    stuff too.
    8 Not as much as I used to. I was addicted to this
    online game for a while until my parents banned me.
    I’d sometimes play for five hours a day! I play other
    games now, but my parents control it a bit more.
    A MATTER OF TASTE

    A: So what kind of things do you do in your free time?


    B: I guess films are the main thing.
    A: Really? Do you go to the cinema much then?
    B: Oh, all the time. I mean, I go at least once a week, but I’ll often go two or
    three times!
    A: Wow! That is a lot!
    B: Yeah. I mean it depends what’s on.
    A: Right.
    B: What about you? Do you go much?
    A: Now and again, if there’s something I really want to see, but I’m happy just to watch
    at home.
    B: Really? But if you’re watching an action movie with all the special effects,
    don’t you want to see it on the big screen?
    A: Yeah, I guess, but, to be honest, I’m not that keen on action movies.
    B: Really? I mean, what about X-Men? Or The Hunger Games, stuff like that?
    A: Yeah, The Hunger Games was OK, I suppose, but I’d rather see other things.
    B: Actually there was this great Korean film on TV last night – Oldboy.
    A: Oh yeah, I started watching it, but I turned over.
    B: You didn’t like it?
    A: Not really. It was so over-the-top. That scene where he eats the live octopus! I don’t
    know. It was all a bit too weird for my liking. Didn’t you find it strange?
    B: I guess it is a bit, but that’s what I like about it. They actually did an
    American remake of it, but I prefer the original – I’ve seen it loads of times.
    A: Really? As I say, it’s not really my kind of thing. I prefer a good drama. So what other
    films are you into?
    B: Oh, all sorts. I mean, I’m really into action films and stuff like that, but I’ll
    watch most things really. As I say, I go most weeks, so, you know …
    A: Have you seen Long Walk to Freedom?
    B: Yeah. Have you?
    A: No, but I’ve heard it’s good. I was actually thinking of going to see it.
    B: You should, I was in tears by the end.
    A: Really? I thought it was supposed to be a feel-good movie.
    B: No, it is, it is. It’s really inspiring, really uplifting – he’s just such an
    incredible character. Honestly, it’s brilliant.
    A: I’ll check it out then.

    1 It does nothing for me. It’s quite boring, quite dull.


    2 It’s one of those tunes that’s very easy to remember –
    very catchy.
    3 It’s hilarious – just really, really funny.
    4 It didn’t do much for me. It’s typical big-budget Hollywood
    – very commercial.
    5 I can’t explain it. It’s really strange – really weird.
    6 It’s just too much for my liking – really over-the-top.
    7 You can’t stop reading. It’s so exciting, so gripping!
    8 It’s good, but it’s quite upsetting – quite disturbing.

    9 It’s a really inspiring story, really uplifting.


    10 Don’t go and see it! It’s dreadful, absolutely awful.
