Q8 Interview Q1 Description Speaking Interview

Thank you for your participation. Today I'd like to ask you some questions about your entertainment preferences. What kind of movies do your family or friends generally like to watch? For example, do they prefer action movies, comedies, dramas, or other types?

State the habit or experience directly, then add a reflective reason.
Use pauses after contrast markers such as although, not simply, and rather than.

My family and friends usually prefer comedies or light dramas. They like movies that help them relax rather than movies that require too much concentration. Action movies are popular too, but only if the story has interesting characters, because endless explosions can get boring after a while. Their preference says a lot about entertainment: after a demanding day, they often want emotional relief more than intellectual challenge.

emotional relief
in practical terms
as a regular part of my routine
light dramas

Q9 Interview Q2 Preference Speaking Interview

I see. When you watch a movie, do you prefer to watch after work or school on weekdays or do you like to watch during the weekends? Why?

Compare options naturally instead of listing them mechanically.
Stress the phrase that shows preference or priority.

I prefer watching movies on weekends because I can enjoy them without thinking about the next morning. On weekdays, I am usually tired and may not have enough time to finish a film. A weekend movie feels like a small event, especially if I watch it with friends or order food. I prefer weekends because I can watch with undivided attention, which makes the story feel more immersive and less like background noise.

undivided attention
what I tend to prioritize
depending on the situation
without thinking about the next morning
not have enough time
a small event

Q10 Interview Q3 Prediction Speaking Interview

Interesting. Next, I'd like to get your opinion. In the past, people mostly watched movies in theaters. Today, many people watch movies at home. Do you think that movie theaters will continue to exist in the future? Why or why not?

C1-C2 Sample Answer

Build a short narrative or hypothetical with a clear cause-and-effect line.
Segment the response into choice, reason, and consequence.

Yes, I think theaters will continue to exist, but they may become more special. People can watch ordinary movies at home, so theaters need to offer a stronger experience, such as better sound, comfortable seats, or films that look impressive on a big screen. Theaters will survive if they offer an experience that cannot be replicated at home, not merely a larger version of the same screen.

Q11 Interview Q4 Opinion Speaking Interview

Good points. I just have one more question. Some people believe that movies can be a powerful tool for educating people and raising awareness about important issues. Do you agree with this idea, or do you think there are other, more effective ways to educate people? Explain why you think so.

🎧 Question Audio

C1-C2 Sample Answer

Give a nuanced position with concession before your main argument.
Use intonation to signal contrast, qualification, and final judgment.

I agree that movies can educate people because stories make issues feel personal. A documentary or drama about poverty, climate change, or discrimination can help viewers imagine real lives behind the facts. However, movies work best when they are combined with discussion, reading, or action afterward. Movies are powerful because they can humanize abstract issues, although they work best when viewers are encouraged to think beyond the story.
