F = Finn; M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc. Part 1
F: I love films. I love going to the cinema. I go at least once a week. How about you? How often do you go to the cinema? M1: Uh, on average, probably once a month.
W1: I like going to the cinema a lot, but probably only get there about once a month. M2: Not very often. But I do go occasionally.
M3: I go to the cinema, probably once or twice a month.
W2: I go to the cinema about once a week during the summertime, usually when there are the best movies.
M4: We probably go together, maybe once a fortnight.
M5: I go, normally, probably once every month or two months, but it depends on the film.
M6: I go to the cinema about once every fortnight. Often I’ll go on a Wednesday because we get “buy one get one free” cinema tickets, so I can take a friend with me. Part 2
F: What kinds of films do you like?
W1: I always like romantic comedies. Slumdog Millionaire was a great movie. Australia was a movie I saw recently which was really good.
M1: … probably recommend, er, the new Terminator movie. Er, that’s once again filled with action. Very exciting.
M5: I like old films. I … I’ve a complete collection of John Wayne and Charlton Heston … And musicals, anything that’s quite happy or adventurous, that takes me away from real life. Those are the ones I watch.
W2: I saw The Proposal not too long ago and I really liked it. It was really interesting; it was a really funny, romantic comedy.
M3: Sweeney Todd. I really enjoyed with Johnny Depp – simply because he was fantastic; and Helena Bonham Carter, one of my favorite actresses, was also really good.
M4: I’d recommend The Graduate. I enjoyed that as a young man and … and growing up as well. I think it’s a “coming of age” film.
M6: My favorite film is called Golden Eye. It’s a James Bond film and I think the action scenes are just absolutely fantastic in it. Part 3
F: Who’s your favorite actor? M5: John Wayne’s my favorite actor.
M6: My favorite actor is the new James Bond, er, Daniel Craig. I think he’s very good at showing emotions in his films. My favorite actress is called Angelina Jolie. She’s very beautiful, but she’s also played lots of different roles in films.
M3: My favorite actor is Johnny Depp because I think he’s funny and I think he’s lively and he always has energy on stage.
W2: My favorite actor is Brad Pitt. He’s very good-looking and he can play many
different roles and he’s very talented.
M4: My favorite film star’s Robert DeNiro because I look like him. Listening Scripts I = Interviewer Part 1
I: Hello and welcome to Fashion Now, with me, Dan Taylor. In today’s program, we ask the question, “What is beauty?” Do men today really like women with blonde hair and blue eyes? And do women like the James Bond look – tall, dark and very masculine, or do they like something different now? Are ideas about beauty changing? We went out to see what you really think …

I: Excuse me, ladies. Do you have a moment? W1: Yes?
I: Just a quick question. Research says that these days women prefer men with feminine faces … W1: Really?
I: Yes. It’s true … honestly!
W1: I don’t agree at all. I like masculine faces … I: Can I show you some photos?
