What Do You Feel Like Watching Today? While some people only stick to only one kind

of movie, I like to watch different kinds

depending on how I feel that day.

When I’m down or tired, I prefer movies that

can cheer me up. Comedies like Men in Black

or cartoons like Kung fu Panda have funny

dialogues and usually have a happy ending.

3a Read the passage. Underline the different kinds of movies and circle the movie names.

The characters may not be perfect, but they

try their best to solve their problems. After

watching them, the problems suddenly seem

less serious and I feel much better again.

Laughing for two hours is a good way to

relax!

I don’t watch dramas or documentaries when

I’m sad or tired. Dramas like Titanic make me

feel even sadder. Documentaries like March of

the Penguins which provide plenty of

information about a certain subject can be

interesting, but when I’m tired I don’t want to

think too much. I don’t mind action movies like

Spider-Man when I’m too tired to think.

I can just shut off my brain, sit back and

enjoy watching an exciting superhero who

always save the world just in time.

Once in a while, I like to watch movies

that are scary. They can be fun, but I’m too

scared to watch them alone. I always bring a

friend who isn’t afraid of these kinds of

movies, and it doesn’t feel so scary anymore.
