Sample Answers

Do you watch movies? Yeah, I'm a big movie buff! I love getting lost in a good story, and movies are a great way to escape reality for a couple of hours. Plus, I'm always fascinated by the special effects and cinematography.

How often do you watch movies? I'd say I watch movies a few times a week, depending on my schedule. Sometimes I'll binge-watch a series on Netflix, and other times I'll catch a new release at the cinema with friends. I try to make time for it because it's a great way to unwind.

What kind of movies do you like? I'm a sucker for sci-fi and action flicks! I love how they challenge my imagination and keep me on the edge of my seat. But I'm also a fan of indie films – there's something about the raw, emotional storytelling that really resonates with me.

Do you prefer to go to a movie alone or with others? Definitely with others! There's something about sharing the experience with friends or family that makes it more enjoyable. We can discuss the plot twists and share our reactions in real-time. Plus, it's always more fun to laugh or scream together!

Do you prefer to watch a movie at home or in the cinema? I'd say it depends on my mood. If I'm feeling cozy and want to relax, I'll watch a movie at home with a bowl of popcorn. But if I want the full cinematic experience, I'll head to the cinema. There's something about the big screen and surround sound that immerses me in the film.
