● I watch films in English with subtitles in my language.

● When I want to see a film, I watch trailers online to find something I like.
● I don’t like watching films with dubbing because the actors’ mouths never
move as they should.

them to English subtitles, but then the film is very difficult to understand.

part 2/2
● I hate spoilers because I don’t want to know how the film ends before
I watch it.
● I usually know the titles of English films in my language, but not in
English.
● If the main character is played by a bad actor, a film can’t be good.

longer and you can watch it for weeks.
