PROBLEM: M: Have you seen any good movies lately? ,F: Yes, actually I just saw Heidi. ,M: What is it about? ,F: A young girl and her grandfather in Switzerland. It takes place in the late eighteen hundreds. ,M: That's not a new movie. Now I remember I saw that when I was little. ,F: It's a remake. It's much more realistic than the first one filmed in one thousand nine hundred and thirty-seven with Shirley Temple, although that one has become a classic. Another one was made in one thousand nine hundred and fifty-two and again in two thousand and five. The movie is actually based on a book, and the director of the current movie stayed really true to the story. The little girl who plays Heidi was chosen from over 500 actresses. Isn't that amazing? She's really talented! ,M: I'd love to see it. I really enjoyed that movie as a child. ,F: It's the first film in a three part series. I'm excited to see the next 2 when they come out.
(A) M: I’m sorry, I didn’t understand. Could you repeat a little louder, please? (B) M: Really? It's the second film in a three part series? Oh, actually, there are just three versions of the movie. (C) M: Really? You are excited to see the next one when it comes out? Oh, there are two versions of the movie. (D) M: You mean you are not excited to see the next 2 when they come out? Oh, there are four versions of the movie.
