Question

Task 1. Read the dialogue and complete the task.

Two friends are trying to decide what film to watch.

- We could see The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It’s an old western.

-I saw that a few weeks ago with my dad.

- Did you like it?

- I found it boring. Too many cowboys and horses. I prefer horror films. Let’s get Friday the 13th. It’s a classic.

- I watched it last night on TV. It didn’t scare me at all.

- Well, what about a comedy with Jim Carrey?

- Again? We rented a comedy last week. How about Star Wars?

- No, not science fiction again. And no more adventure films, please. Let’s get something different.

-Well, what’s left? What about this one, A Love Story? Ha, ha!

-Yuk! Not a romance. No way. How about one with crime or a drama?

-I know! Silence of the Lambs with Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins. It won Oscars for best actress, actor and director in 1992.

-It’s also a horror film. Wicked – let’s get it.

Good sides: TV can entertain, inform and keep children company.

Bad sides: children have less time to read, do school work, play, exercise, talk to their families and for social development.

They learn information from television that may be inappropriate or incorrect.

They are influenced by the thousands of commercials seen each year, many of which due for alcohol, junk food, fast food and toys.
