Ứng dụng Grammar vào Speaking – Unit 18: Film and Entertainment (Ngữ pháp: The Passive)

Without a doubt. Watching movies has always been one of my favourite pastimes. After an exhausting week, I often spend my Sundays lying in bed and watching the latest dramas to unwind a bit. 

Maybe once or twice a month. I usually go there with my friends to enjoy the latest blockbusters. Although tickets are pretty expensive, the experience is worth the money because we can watch movies with high resolution and quality on a large screen. 

To be honest, becoming a famous film star used to be my childhood dream. However, as I grow older, I realize that I don’t have a flair for acting, and that I can’t cope with the pressure of being a celebrity, so I just give up on that dream. 

Yes, without a doubt. Movie theaters can be seen in any city in Vietnam. Though there are several other ways to entertain, like going to amusement parks or playing video games, watching movies is still favored by the majority due to its low cost. A ticket can be purchased for less than 5 dollars, which is relatively affordable compared to the income of Vietnamese people nowadays. Besides, it’s hard to be fed up with movies because each one brings a different experience to the audience.

I do believe that this industry has been greatly supported by the Internet over the last two decades. I mean, now online products even bring more profit to entertainment companies than physical ones like CDs or vinyl records. You know every year, billions of dollars are being poured from Netflix’s or Spotify’s users’ pockets into the bank accounts of those companies’ owners. Personally, I think this is a good change because less material will be required to produce CDs or cassettes, which means less plastic and electronic waste being disposed of.
