Talk About Your Movie Preference

(1) Lily: Listen
Did you like the new movie, "[vocab word=murder]Murder[/vocab] At The Hotel"?
(2) Jordan: Listen
No, I hated it. It was long and boring. I was [vocab word=bored]bored[/vocab] after 30 minutes.

"boring" and "bored" are both adjectives. A boring movie makes you bored. You are bored when you watch a boring movie.

(3) Lily: Listen
That's [vocab word=surprising]surprising[/vocab]. I thought you liked murder [vocab word=mystery]mysteries[/vocab].

What Jordan said was "surprising". A surprising news surprises you. You are surprised at the news.

(4) Jordan: Listen
I don't really like mysteries. I like [vocab word=horror]horror[/vocab] movies. Horror movies are exciting. They are very interesting.

Some movies are exciting. They excite you. You are excited by the movies.

(5) Lily: Listen
Do you like [vocab word=action]action[/vocab] movies? There is an exciting action movie coming up next week. We should watch it together.
(6) Jordan: Listen
Action movies aren't very interesting to me.
(7) Lily: Listen
Do you like any [vocab word=romance]romance[/vocab] movies?

In a romance movie, people fall in love.

(8) Jordan: Listen
No. I'm not interested in romance movies at all. They are [vocab word=extremely]extremely[/vocab] boring. I hate watching people in love.
(9) Lily: Listen
So, you just like horror movies.
(10) Jordan: Listen
I like dark [vocab word=fantasy]fantasy[/vocab] movies as well. End of the world, [vocab word=disaster]disasters[/vocab], zombies, that kind of stuff.

"Fantasy" means people's imagination (not real).

(11) Lily: Listen
What's so interesting about them?
(12) Jordan: Listen
I like lots of killing and blood in a movie.
(13) Lily: Listen
I'm [vocab word=surprised]surprised[/vocab] at your [vocab word=taste]taste[/vocab] in movies. To be [vocab word=honest]honest[/vocab], I'm a bit [vocab word=worried]worried[/vocab] about you now.

Here, "taste" doesn't mean you eat something. It means what you like.

(14) Jordan: Listen
We just don't have the same taste in movies.
