Sample Answers

Did you usually go to the cinema when you were a kid? Actually, I didn't go to the cinema that much as a kid, but when I did, it was always a special treat. My parents would take me and my siblings to see the latest Disney movie, and we'd make a whole day of it. I think that's why I still associate going to the movies with family bonding time.

Do you usually go to the cinema with your friends? Yeah, I do! Going to the cinema with friends is one of my favorite things to do. We'll often pick a movie we've all been wanting to see and make a night of it. It's a great way to catch up and have some laughs together. Plus, it's always more fun to discuss the movie afterwards with people who've seen it too.

Do you still enjoy watching the movies you loved as a child? Absolutely! I'm a total sucker for nostalgia, and re-watching old favorites is like revisiting an old friend. I mean, who doesn't love reliving the magic of 'The Lion King' or 'Toy Story'? It's amazing how those movies can still evoke the same emotions and memories as they did when I was a kid.

Do you prefer watching movies at home or at the cinema? Hmm, that's a tough one! I'd say it depends on my mood. If I'm in the mood for a big-screen experience, I love going to the cinema. There's something about the energy of the crowd and the immersive sound that just can't be replicated at home. But if I'm feeling cozy, I'm happy to curl up on the couch and watch a movie on my laptop or TV.
