9. How often do you go to the cinema? Not that often
（＝
not so often). First of all, I don’t have that much time
（＝
so much time)
because of my studies, and my college is far away from the city center. Going to the cinema is a
bit troublesome because if I go at night, then there’s no bus for me to get back to school. In
addition, tickets are expensive. It costs at least 60 yuan, and I think it’s a bit too much just for a
movie. I can download online for free.
10. Do you prefer to watch films at the cinema or at home? Of course I prefer watching films at the cinema. The screen is huge, the sound is better, and
there’s a special atmosphere at the theater. The only thing I dislike is when people talk
during the movie, or when mobile phones go off. It’s so irritating
！
People can’t sit for 2hours
without answering the phone. It’s too bad.

Do you think there is too much violence in today’s films? (violence
＝
brutality
＝
cruelty)
Yes and no
．
There is a lot of violence especially in action and martial arts movies, but
I think that our government has managed to limit the amount of cruelty on TV We see blood of
course, but I think that it’s not too problematic. It has become part of our society. Chinese movies
are not so aggressive I think, although I have seen some crazy films from Hong Kong. Some
young people are attracted to such movies because it’s different, and not real. The fact that it is
fictitious
（＝
not real) is fascinating, because it is imaginative. I don’t think that we should air too
much brutality on TV, but I also disagree when some people say that the violence on TV is to be
blamed for some people’s violent actions
