Ielts 雅思 口语全攻略 Ideas and Examples for ielts speaking Jeremy Chiron

What are the most popular types of films where you come from?

Well, I believe that everyone has different taste, but in general men love action movies, such as war or martial art films (=kung fu). Women are keen on romance and romantic comedies. A lot of kids are big fans of movies like Harry Potter, and other films of the fantasy genre, because they make them dream. I know that most of my classmates frequently watch horror movies because they are quite thrilling.

2. 
   Do you think that film-watching habits might change in the future?
   

As you most probably know, a lot of people download movies on the Internet and watch them at home. It is very convenient, and free, but I am afraid that this free ride will sooner or later come to an end, and people will have to pay to watch movies online. I also think that the next generations will watch more movies in the original version, because their English level will be better than ours is now. So people will follow the stories in English with subtitles, and we will not dub the voices into Chinese anymore, which will be great in some respects.

3. 
   Do children and adults enjoy the same types of films?
   

Not exactly. Children love cartoons and animated movies. I believe that most grownups don't mind them, but would prefer watching different sorts of films, with real actors, and a more elaborate (=complex) plot.

4. 
   Why do many films nowadays show a lot of violence?
   

That's a good question, and it fuels (= create) a lot of debates. I think that many men like to watch violent movies because, maybe deep inside, men need this kind of adrenaline rush (=intense excitement) but cannot experience it in real life. I think that young men always dream of having super-powers, and being able to crush (= destroy) anyone they dislike. Nowadays, we live in a pretty peaceful society even though there are occasional crimes, and violence simply lets people escape from reality. However, I think problems can sometimes happen when some people stop being able to discern (= distinguish) what is real from what is fictional.

5. 
   Compare the popularity of national and international film stars in your country.
   

Well, China is definitely opening up to foreign movies, especially thanks to the Internet, but I still think that Chinese movie stars are more popular and recognizable than most American or British actors. For example, a lot of young people look up to actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan such as Jackie Chan and Andy Liu. On the other hand, a lot of Korean actors and actresses are gaining fame through soap operas and movies produced by Chinese directors.

6. 
   Which qualities help actors and actresses become famous film stars?
   

Well, actors and actresses should without a doubt be charming and attractive if they want to become famous. I think that if an actress is truly gorgeous, it will be easier for her to be remembered. In addition, actors need to be talented. They need to be able to express different emotions and to pretend to be someone else according to the needs of the film director. I think it must require a lot of energy, preparation and concentration.
