Episode 10: Choosing a film

Alice:

Oh, what do you fancy seeing? There’s Must Love Dogs – a rom-com. Oh I love romantic comedies, don’t you? Pride and Prejudice is on – I adore period dramas. You know all those fine ladies and gents from ages ago, long dresses and grand houses. What kind of films do you like – action, adventure, musicals?

Michal:

Films about people living in the future, on other planets.

Alice:

Oh, sci-fi – not really my thing.

Michal:

Well, what about Nightmare on Elm Street? They’re showing that again here.

Alice:

No thanks, horror films don’t do it for me.

Michal:

Well, why don’t you choose?

Alice:

No, you invited me out, you choose.

Michal:

No, I insist.

Speaking tips

rom-com: short of romantic-comedy: tình cảm hài

not really my thing: không phải loại mình thích

i insist: tôi muốn vậy mà (insist (v/nghĩa gốc): khăng khăng, nài việc gì)
