Mia: Sure! But let’s not watch a horror film. I really don’t like those.

Liam: Why not?

Mia: They’re too scary and sometimes disturbing. I can’t sleep after watching them.

Liam: That makes sense. I don’t like musicals. They’re so unrealistic and a bit boring for me.

Liam: Perfect. I’ll send you the options tonight.

📖 Long READING

Not everyone likes the same types of movies. Some people enjoy horror films, while others think they are too scary. Some dislike romantic movies because they are predictable. Others don’t enjoy action films because they have too much violence.

People often choose movies based on how they feel. If someone is tired, they may prefer a light comedy. If someone wants to think, they may choose a documentary. Many students say they don’t like long or slow movies. They want something exciting and fast.

This week, students in a film club shared their opinions. Most said they don’t like musicals. They found them unrealistic. A few students didn’t like thrillers because they were too intense. But many agreed that it’s okay to dislike a movie. What’s important is learning how to explain why.
