Watching movies

1. Do you like watching movies?

Band 7

Yes, I really enjoy watching movies, especially in my free time. It’s a great way to relax and escape from daily stress. I mostly watch dramas and thrillers, either on Netflix or at the cinema with friends.

Band 8

Absolutely, I love watching movies—they’re a perfect way to unwind after a long day. I enjoy a variety of genres, but I’m especially into psychological thrillers and meaningful dramas. Good movies not only entertain but also make me think or feel something deeply. I usually watch them on streaming platforms, but I also like going to the cinema when something exciting comes out. Watching movies with friends or family can also be a fun bonding experience. For me, films are more than just entertainment—they're a form of art and storytelling.

Band 7

I mostly enjoy watching thrillers and drama films. I like movies that keep me guessing and have an interesting storyline. Sometimes, I also watch comedies when I want to relax and have a good laugh.

Band 8

I’m really into thrillers, especially the ones with unexpected twists and deep psychological elements. I enjoy stories that keep me thinking and leave a lasting impression even after the movie ends. Apart from thrillers, I also like emotional dramas that explore real-life situations or human relationships. Occasionally, I go for light comedies or feel-good films just to lift my mood. I appreciate good storytelling and strong acting, regardless of the genre. For me, a good movie is one that makes me feel something or challenges my thinking.

3. How often do you watch movies?
Band 7

I usually watch movies around two or three times a week, mostly in the evenings. It depends on how busy I am with my studies or work. On weekends, I sometimes watch more, especially if I’m with friends or family.

Band 8

I watch movies quite regularly, usually two or three times a week. It often depends on my schedule—if I have free time, I might even watch one every night. I tend to watch more on weekends when I can fully relax. Sometimes, I watch short films or episodes instead of full-length movies during the week. Watching movies is my way of unwinding and disconnecting from daily stress. It’s something I genuinely look forward to.

4. Do you prefer watching movies at home or in the cinema?
Band 7

I usually prefer watching movies at home because it’s more comfortable and I can pause whenever I want. I like lying on the couch with snacks and watching at my own pace. But sometimes, I do enjoy going to the cinema for big action movies or new releases. The sound and screen make it feel more exciting.

Band 8

Honestly, I enjoy both, but I slightly prefer watching movies at home. It’s just more relaxing—I can wear comfy clothes, grab some snacks from the kitchen, and watch without worrying about other people talking or using their phones. That said, going to the cinema is still fun, especially for new blockbusters or movies with great visuals and sound. The atmosphere in the theatre makes it feel more special. So, I guess it depends on my mood and the kind of movie. If it's something epic, I’ll choose the cinema, but for most things, home is perfect.

5. Who do you usually watch movies with?
Band 7

I usually watch movies with my family or close friends. Sometimes, I watch alone if I want to focus or relax quietly. Watching with others is fun because we can share opinions and talk about the movie afterwards.

Band 8

Most of the time, I watch movies with my family or a few close friends. It’s a great way to spend quality time together and share different perspectives about the film. Occasionally, I prefer watching alone when I want to fully immerse myself without distractions. Watching with others also makes the experience more lively, especially with comedies or thrillers. Sometimes, we even make it a mini event with snacks and discussions after the movie. Overall, I enjoy both solo and group movie time, depending on the mood.
