Some vocabulary about…

In this class, we’ll discuss some vocabulary included into the movie category.
People love going to the movies or watching films at home. It’s a big industry,
gathering millions of dollars year after year.

Today you’ll learn to talk about types of movies, get to know the roles needed
for producing a movie and also learn how to give your opinion about the movie
itself.

Remember that much of the vocabulary is changeable. That means that you
can choose how you want to say or describe things. For example: the word “movie”
can be used just as easily as “film” or “flick”. You can say “to see a movie or to
watch a movie”.
