___________________________________________________________________________________

Describe a movie that made a strong impression on you 

You should say:

- What the movie was about

- Who the main characters were

- What you liked and didn't like about the movie

- Why it made a strong impression on you

___________________________________________________________________________________

Yes. So the movie that made a strong impression on me was Avengers : Age of Ultron. Avengers itself is a series and age of Ultron is a part of it. The movie was about the advancement of technology and how technology can perpetuate to destroy a whole race itself. If we do not control technology, then what can happen to our you know, speeches and everything. The main characters, there were many main characters in there as it is a movie of group of heroes. But if we were to mention some of them, they would be, uh, Wanda Vision, uh, Iron man, Spider-Man, and Captain America, and Hulk also. Hulk is one of my favorite heroes. So what i liked about the movie is the graphics. It was very advanced, uh, related to the technology advancement of that time. And the negative use of technology has been portrayed in the whole movie. So we can know what technology can do to us if we use it in a negative way. And. As movies are, uh, of stress reduction. So i think this actually led me to reduce my stress of that time and the humor presented was absolutely very great because i myself am a sarcasm loving person. So the humor presented in this movie was good. And also this movie taught us how if we are united and, okay. Thank you. Now i would like to ask you some questions related to the topic. Would you recommend this movie to others? Yes, i will surely recommend this movie to others because then only people can know how technology can destroy us. And if we do not keep technology on a leash, to us and our species. 

Okay, And what other movies have you seen? 

That were similar to this one. Some other movies that I've seen similar to this were the Blade Runner, the Metrics, Spider-Man, Iron man, and the maze runner as well. Thank you this is end of part two. 

Part 3

May i have the sure. Pencil on the paper? Thank you very much. Yes

Now i would like to move on to part three, and I'm going to ask you several questions. What is the impact of movies on society? 

Well, when it comes to impact, they're both positive and negative sides and just like this in the movie industry as well, they're a positive and negative impact of movies in our social and cultural life. Uh, if we talk about the positive impact, movies can help a person to become a better version of themselves and they can promote empathy and understanding. However, on the negative side, if we see movies actually influence the young people into our aggressive brawl culture and also glamorize violence and does it leads to desensitization in our real life issues. Great. 

How has technology changed the way people watch movies ?

Technology has a huge impact on everyone's life. Since, uh, the last generation and technology has actually changed the way we watch movies now. For example, in the past we used to watch movies in television or big screens only, but now we can watch movies online just with the help of an electronic device anywhere in the world.

What are some benefits of watching movies ?

When it comes to benefits, movies actually have a significant number of them. For example, we can learn new language skills and new words from the movies, and also the children, they can learn about history and also, uh, normal humor sense, good sense of humor from the movies. 

What are some of the downsides of the movies industry? 

Even though there are benefits, there are also some drawbacks. For example, uh, children, they often the young people, the teenagers, they often feel imitated by others. For example, if we talk about, um, celebities that work in the movie industry, there vulgar sense and also their food diet. All of these are imitated by the children. So as a result, this is actually a negative impact for. The whole culture that it includes in here. 

Do you think that movies should be used as a tool for education? 

Well, if we are talking about a particular set of movies, then yes. But then again, too much of so i think we can use this, but only under supervision of an adult. Okay, 

What is the role of movies in different culture around the world?

Movies have both positive and negative impact on culture around the world. For example, some people are motivated by it. On the other hand, some people learn violence and aggressive brawl culture from movies. So that actually would depend on the kind of and genre of movie is , for example, if we are talking about Hollywood movies, They teach us how to accept anything lightly, not to make a fuss about everything. And if we watch indian movies, that is the Bollywood movies. We can see most of the movies are action movies. There's the children, you know, they'll learn how to fight from there and also get into aggressive, agresion in there. 

Great. This is the end of the speaking test.
