Write an article answering
these questions
SPEAKING Ask and answer the questions in pairs.
1. How often do you watch films? How do you watch them: at the cinema, on DVD, on live TV, or online?
2. Are some types of film better to watch at the cinema than on TV? Why? Give examples.
A: How often do you watch films?
(Bạn có thường xuyên xem phim không?)
B: If there is an interesting movie playing at the cinema, I’ll go to see it. It’s nice to go out to see a movie with my friends sometimes.
(Nếu có một bộ phim thú vị đang chiếu ở rạp chiếu phim, tôi sẽ đi xem. Thật tuyệt khi thỉnh thoảng ra ngoài xem phim với bạn bè.)
A: How do you watch them: at the cinema, on DVD, on live TV, or online?
(Bạn xem chúng bằng cách nào: tại rạp chiếu phim, trên DVD, trên truyền hình trực tiếp hoặc trực tuyến?)
B: I often watch them online on YouTube because I don't have much time to watch it, so I find it quite convenient to watch it again on YouTube.
(Tôi thường xem chúng trực tuyến trên YouTube vì tôi không có nhiều thời gian để xem chúng, vì vậy tôi thấy việc xem lại trên YouTube khá tiện lợi.)
A: Are some types of film better to watch at the cinema than on TV?
(Có phải một số loại phim xem ở rạp chiếu phim hay hơn xem trên TV không?)
B: In my opinion, horror and action movies will be better to watch at the cinema than on TV because we can see them on a big screen with a better sound system. I think it makes the movie more impressive. For example, if we watch horror film at home with a small TV, it will be hard to enjoy the feeling of being scared that it brings.
(Theo ý kiến của tôi, phim kinh dị và hành động sẽ tốt hơn để xem ở rạp chiếu phim hơn là trên TV bởi vì chúng ta có thể xem chúng trên màn hình lớn với hệ thống âm thanh tốt hơn. Tôi nghĩ nó làm cho bộ phim ấn tượng hơn. Ví dụ, nếu chúng ta xem phim kinh dị ở nhà với một chiếc TV nhỏ, chúng ta sẽ khó tận hưởng cảm giác sợ hãi mà nó mang lại.)

Leicester Quare is the cinema centre of London. It is claimed that the Square has the cinema with the largest screen and the cinema with the most seats (over 1600).
The most famous cinema, the Odeon, is on the east side of the square. The Odeon had the first digital projector in Europe (1999), and is the largest single –screen cinema in the United Kingdom. The cinema can hold 1, 683 people with seats arranged in circles and stalls. The Empire, on the north of the Square, is the second-largest cinema, with 1,330 seats in the main theatre, as well as eight smaller screens.
The cheapest cinema in Leicester Square is "The Prince Charles". This cinema often shows films a few weeks later than some of the others, so if you don't mind being behind the times and want to save some money this could be the place for you.
Leicester Square is also where the stars come out at night. People wait (often out in the cold) and hope they can see Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts or Brad Pitt as they step out of their limousines to attend the first night of their new movie. Watch out for the screaming fans!
