Recommend a Movie to a Friend
Have you seen a good movie recently? If you think for a moment, you will probably recall seeing something interesting. Maybe it was a really funny comedy that you saw at the theater; or maybe you watched a really exciting action film on DVD at home. According to a recent statistic, people under the age of 40 watch an average of 3 movies per month. And it is only natural that, if you have seen something good, you want to tell someone about it. Let’s imagine several different situations where you recommend a movie to someone using modern colloquial expressions.
Situation 1: A friend asks you for a recommendation.
A: Have you seen any good movies recently?
B: As a matter of fact, I have. Last weekend I rented a movie called "Me, Myself, and Irene".
A: I think I’ve heard of that. Who’s in it?
B: Jim Carrey.
A: Oh, yeah! I heard that was funny!
B: Oh, I cracked up. You should definitely see it, if you can.
Situation 2: A friend is asking you for suggestions about what to do this weekend.
A: I have no idea what to do this weekend. Any suggestions?
B: Well, there’s a great movie showing at the theater downtown.
A: Oh yeah? What?
B: It’s called "Twenty Seconds".
A: "Twenty Seconds"? I’ve never heard of it. What’s it about?
B: Well, it’s a science fiction film about a man who can see twenty seconds into the future.
A: I’m not really into science fiction.
Situation 3: Convince a friend to see a different movie.
A: I’m leaving. See you later.
B: Where are you going?
A: To see a movie.
B: What are you going to see?
A: "The Moss of Rustic River".
B: You’re kidding! You’re not going to see that, are you?
A: Why not? I heard it was good.
B: It was one of the worst movies I have ever seen! You should go see "Moon Sliver", instead. It is supposed to be wonderful.
