IELTS Speaking: movie-going to cinema

IELTS Speaking Test:

.

(movie-going to cinema)

.

.

Tom: Do you go to the cinema a lot Martin?

.

.

Martin: I used to quite often, Tom, but lately I just haven't found the time or the cinemas around here aren't quite as big here.

.

.

Tom: So, I guess you've had time to contemplate on it. What's your favorite movie of all time? Well, my favorite movie, and the best movie I've ever seen would have to be Seven Samurai, the story about a small peasant village in Japan, hired in Seven Samurai to protect it and the ensuing struggles that the villagers had with the samurai, and the Samurai did with themselves and then the final fight that they has with the bandits that were trying to take the peasants grain. It's a magnificent story.

.

.

Martin: It's a classic. It's black and white, right?

.

.

Tom: Yes, it is. It was made by the Japanese director Akira Kurasawa. I think it was 1956 or 57, but it's affected so many other movies, Tom.

.

.

Martin: I mean if you look at the Magnificent Seven, the Western, it's modeled directly after that, as well as some other modern movies that you might not think as much about. Roger Corman's, Battle Beyond the Stars with George Peppard (Are you serious?) was modeled straight off of Seven Samurai, and even Bug's Life.

.

.

Tom: Wow. Now that I think of that I can see that.

.

.

Martin: Yeah, it's a really important movie.

.

.

Martin: How about you Tom? What's your favorite movie of all time?

.

.

Tom: I don't know about of old time, but recently, and don't laugh 

when I say this, Pirates of the Caribbean was an absolute masterpiece. I saw the trailer so many times in the cinema and just thought it was going to be rubbish, but when I eventually got around to seeing it, it was full of good jokes and it was Jonny Depp as a pirate going around the Caribbean. There was a ghost story. There was a love story in it. There was a young man who'd run away to join the Pirate's. The whole thing was just action packed, funny and colorful. It was a really entertaining movie.

.

.

Martin: Yeah, I would agree with you Tom. It was very fun and Johnny Depp was great, modelling Keith Richards as a pirate. I think that...

.

.

Tom: Well, I heard that he was modelling the original ride at Disneyland.

.

.

Martin: Oh, really.

.

.

Tom: The mechanical models jerking around on the pirate ship, the mannequins, I heard that was what he modeled his character on.

.

.

Martin: I heard he modeled after Keith Richards.

.

.

Tom: He's the kind of actor who comes up with a different story at every interview.

.

.

Martin: Well, I guess that's why he's acting

marriage

Chris: Hey, Linds.

Lindsay: Hi, Chris. How are you?

Chris: Pretty good. Hey, I heard you're getting married?

Lindsay: I am. I got engaged in July and I'm getting married next September.

Chris: Wow. That's quite a long time between getting engaged and getting married.

Lindsay: It is but in America you usually have an engagement for one year.

Chris: Why is that?

Lindsay: I don't know, but now it's very regular to have a long engagement so if I don't have a long engagement, it seems like it's a rushed wedding.

Chris: So, what do you have to do between now and next September? What do you have to prepare?

Lindsay: Well, I hired the band.

Chris: Already?

Lindsay: Yes. They're a funk band.

Chris: Brilliant.

Lindsay: They play the Beattles and Earth, Wind & Fire.

Chris: Together?

Lindsay: Maybe not together, but I've hired a band and they're great and I've also hired the florist, and I've hired the caterer so we have the food and everything sorted and I have picked the location.

Chris: Well, how long did it take you to decide all that? It seems like you've done a lot of preparation already.

Lindsay: It took me about two months to get everything done. I saw about five different bands and six different florists and I looked at about seven different places.

Todd: OK, Diana we are going to talk about your hobby.

Dianna: OK.

Todd: What is your hobby?

Dianna: I have lots of different hobbies but right now I'm learning to play the guitar.

Todd: Great. How long have you been playing or practicing?

Dianna: I got my guitar two years ago but I've probably spent a total of two weeks practicing.

Todd: Did you bring your guitar to Japan?

Dianna: I didn't. Actually, my brother wants to learn to play also so he's taking good care of my guitar while I'm here, but when I get back I'll jump right back into practicing.

Todd: OK, great. Well, who's a better player?

Dianna: I am for sure, but I told him that if he gets better than me while I'm away that he has to teach me everything he knows.

Todd: Oh, that's only fair. OK. Can you play any songs?

Dianna: Yes, I can play "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee" and just the last part of the "Star Spangled Banner". Not the beginning, the beginning's way to hard.
