Creazione lezione...
1
A lot of people love watching movies.
2
In fact, people in England watch around 72 films per year.
3
Comedies, thrillers, dramas and action movies are the most popular genres in England.
4
Star Wars The Force Awakens, Skyfall and No Time to Die,
5
which are both James Bond films, are the most successful films of all time in England.
6
There are many film genres.
7
Action, comedy, drama, horror, romance,
8
western, science fiction, historical, musicals,
9
etc. Action films have a lot of fighting,
10
car chases, explosions and shooting.
11
These films are normally violent.
12
Comedy films are funny and make the audience laugh.
13
There are a lot of jokes in these movies.
14
Horror films are scary.
15
These movies try to scare the audience.
16
There are normally zombies, monsters, demons and other scary creatures in these films.
17
Romance films tell a love story between two characters and focuses on their romantic feelings.
18
Science fiction movies have a plot which means a story or a storyline that is fictional and they are related to science.
19
They are normally about the future of human beings or the planet and amazing future technologies appear in them.
20
Film movies are about events that happened in the past.
21
The historical events that appear in these films can be real or can be fictional.
22
Most times they are based on reality.
23
Western movies have cowboys, horse riding and gunfights.
24
The events happen in the American West.
25
Finally, in musicals, the characters sing songs to tell the story of the movie.
26
There is normally a lot of singing and dancing in these films.
27
Nowadays most people watch movies and series on streaming platforms like Netflix,
28
HBO or Amazon Prime.
29
Streaming is very comfortable because you can watch any movie or series whenever you want to and wherever you want to.
30
You can watch it on your phone, tablet or computer.
31
You can be in the car, on a plane or in the street.
32
You don't need to be at home to watch something.
33
And the only things that you need are an internet connection,
34
an electronic device to watch it on,
35
and a subscription to one of these platforms.
36
is quick, cheap and easy so this is why a lot of people like it more than cable TV.
37
What do you prefer?
38
Streaming services or cable TV?
39
Also, when you watch a movie or a series on a streaming platform, there aren't any adverts.
40
Normally when you watch cable TV there are a lot of adverts.
41
Sometimes they last 10 minutes, which is a lot of time for people to lose.
42
I don't normally stream a lot of movies.
43
I prefer watching series.
44
I think that it takes a long time to find a movie to watch,
45
especially on a streaming platform because there are so many options.
46
When you start watching a series,
47
it is a lot quicker to watch something because you already know what you are going to watch.
48
Now we are going to go with the questions.
49
I would like you to answer these questions in the comment section and I will correct your answers.
50
I'm going to answer these questions and there aren't going to be any subtitles
51
so it's going to be a little bit more difficult.
52
The first question is, what film genres are your favourite?
53
I think that romance and comedy are my favourite genres because they are films that are easy
54
to watch and they aren't difficult to follow because
55
when I watch a suspense
56
or an action film sometimes it's difficult to understand what is happening if you're not paying 100% attention.
57
So I like to watch comedies or even romantic comedies which are a mix of romance and comedy.
58
When it is a Friday evening you don't want to have to concentrate a lot
59
on the film, so that is why I like these genres.
60
The second question is which film genres don't you like?
61
So like I said I don't really like action films because they are all quite similar.
62
are always car chases, guns, fighting and I don't like violence.
63
So they are repetitive and also very violent.
64
And those are the two reasons why I don't like action films.
65
Especially ones with Tom Cruise.
66
When you watch a Tom Cruise film, they all seem the same.
67
The third question is, do you pay for a streaming service like Netflix,
68
HBO or Amazon Prime video?
69
Yes, I pay for a streaming service because I don't like to watch adverts.
70
I think that it is better to pay £10 per month
71
and choose what you want to watch watch because
72
if you turn on the TV in England there aren't a lot of good programs or movies or series on TV.
73
And finally, which is your favourite movie?
74
My favourite movie is called A Walk to Remember.
75
It is a romantic comedy.
76
At the start it's a little bit sad
77
but there is a happy ending and that is what I like in a film.
78
I don't like it when the ending is sad.
79
So make sure that you write your answers to the questions in the comments and I will correct them.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
