She: Sure. I am into all kinds of action films, but my favorites are the ones about superheroes.
He: I see. Why is that?
She: Because there are many ways to qualify as a superhero, so perhaps it’s fitting to say that the
superhero movie is one of the most inclusive genres of all.
He: Can you give me an example?
She: Wonder Woman has superpowers gifted to her by the Greek gods and Spiderman is special
because a radioactive spider bit him. They have different backgrounds but they both rise as
champions in troubled times.
Do you follow me?
He: Yes.
I know what you mean.

TRACK 29 (PRACTICE 7, ACTIVITY 29)
He: What movie do you consider to be a must-see?
She: Umm… Let me think… V for Vendetta.
He: That’s an interesting choice, but I believe it’s a comic book, isn’t it?
She: Actually, it is based on a British comic book, but they made a movie adaptation in 2005.
He: Oh, I didn’t know that. Do you like independent movies or do you prefer Hollywood
blockbusters?
She: I prefer Hollywood blockbusters. I love superhero movies, but they need lots of money to be
produced, you know?
He: Yes, you’re right. What kinds of movies do you not like?
She: I don't like comedy movies, especially Adam Sandler’s.
He: You don’t say! I think he is very funny.
She: Well, umm, he could use less silly jokes. At the end of the day, Click was rated his worst movie.
He: Yes, I agree.

TRACK 30 (PRACTICE 7, ACTIVITIES 30 AND 35)
He: Do you like movies?
She: Yes, I do. Very much. I want to major in cinema studies in college.
He: Cinema studies? I am sorry, I don’t understand.
She: Cinema studies examines movies as both an art form and as a form of mass culture.
He: Wow! So, you are an expert, aren’t you? What is your favorite type of movie?
She: I really like action movies.
He: What type in particular? Can you elaborate?
She: Sure. I am into all kinds of action films, but my favorites are the ones about superheroes.
He: I see. Why is that?
She: Because there are many ways to qualify as a superhero, so perhaps it’s fitting to say that the

champions in troubled times. Do you follow me?
He: Yes, I know what you mean. Is there an old movie that you are really into?
She: Robocop. I have seen all the movies. They are great!
He: What movie do you consider to be a must-see?
She: Umm… Let me think… V for Vendetta.
He: That’s an interesting choice, but I believe it’s a comic book, isn’t it?
