What Do You Feel Like Watching Today? While some people only stick to one kind of

movie, I like to watch different kinds

depending on how I feel that day. When I’m

down or tired, I prefer movies that can cheer

me up. Comedies like Men in Black or

cartoons like Kung fu Panda have funny

dialogues and usually have a happy ending.

3a Read the passage. Underline the different kinds of movies and circle the movie names.

The characters may not be perfect, but they

try their best to solve their problems. After

watching them, I’m filled with hope again

and the problems I have suddenly seem less

serious. Laughing for two hours is a good

way to relax!

I don’t watch dramas or documentaries when

I’m sad or tired. Dramas like Titanic make me

feel even sadder. Documentaries like March of

the Penguins which provide plenty of

information about a certain subject can be

interesting, but when I’m tired I don’t want to

think too much. I don’t mind action movies like

Spider-Man when I’m too tired to think. always

saves the world just in time.

I can just shut off my brain, sit back and

enjoy watching an exciting superhero who

always save the world just in time.

Once in a while, I like to watch movies

that are scary. They can be fun, but I’m too

scared to watch them alone. I always bring a

friend who isn’t afraid of these kinds of

movies, and it doesn’t feel so scary anymore.
