雅思口语话题之“描述你讨厌的一部电影”范文

Describe a film that you disliked

You should say:

What the name of it was

Where you watched it

Why you chose to watch it

And explain why you disliked it

Ok right then, well after thinking for a bit just now, the film I've decided to talk about is called Angels and Demons, which was adapted from the novel by Dan Brown. And I watched it at home on my laptop a few months ago, cos I downloaded it off the Internet, which is what most people do here in China when they wanna watch a film.

Anyway, as to the reason why I chose to watch it, well it was simply because I had already read the book, which I really enjoyed, and so I was quite curious to know what the film would be like.

But I’m afraid to say that it was no way near as good as the book. You know, I just couldn’t get into it, and I almost turned it off half way through. In hindsight, I probably should have done! Because I mean, first of all, the acting was pretty dreadful, which was surprising seeing as there were quite a few big names in the cast. And in terms of the storyline, I kind of just felt that it left out too many details from the book. So as a result, you know, it just wasn’t very captivating, and I didn’t really feel any suspense, even though it was meant to be a thriller.

So yeah, all in all, I was pretty disappointed with the film, and I definitely won’t be watching it again!

雅思口语话题：电影删节

Censorship and the freedom of the film-maker and TV producer

(剑桥雅思三 Test 2 Stage 3)

Question:

Should films and television be censored or should we be free to choose what we see?

电影应该被删节/人们应该有自由选择想看什么

Answer:

I don’t think it’s necessary for all films and television programs to be censored.

Why?

Because I believe people should be given the freedom to choose what they want to see.

I know, I know,

some people think that’ s not cool,

because there’s much violence and sex in movies.

But, in my opinion, grown-ups,

especially those who are well-educated can handle these scenes.

Young children may be misled and mis-educated by such things, NOT adults.

I strongly believe that what we need is a symbol or sign system to indicate what age group can see a particular movie. Such as PG 13, PG-18, and so on. And the cinema people should be responsible enough to refuse the entrance of any unsuited viewers to a movie.

This could be a better solution than cutting many scenes out of a movie. (141 words)

How do you think censorship law will change in the next 20 years? 你认为电影删节法在将来20年会怎样变化?

Answer:

I’m not a law major nor a movie critic,

so this question may seem quite challenging to me.

Yet, let me try to answer your question with a few guesses of mine. I think censorship law is just like any law,

it will become more citizen-friendly in 20 years time.

I mean, the law will become more reasonable and scientific because we will have enough time to make amendment to it.

And people will discuss it every year to make the law applicable.

But 20 years is a long time, and no one can say for sure what’s going to happen.

Nowadays, everything is changing so fast.

The only thing not changing is change itself.

Future is unpredictable. And these are a just a few of my speculations. (128 words)
