3a Read the passage. Underline thedifferent kinds of movies and circle the movie names. What Do You Feel Like Watching Today? While some people 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.

The characters may not be perfect, but they

try their best to solve their problems. Afterwatching them, the problems suddenly seem

less serious and I feel much better again.Laughing for two hours is a good way to

relax!

While you readRead the second paragraph, then fill in the chart. Comedies & Cartoons have ____________ funny dialogs and __________________. a happy ending

After watching them, ____________________________ the problems seem less serious and I feel much better ____________________________.

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.
