You should never watch a film with unknown actors. 2. This actor can play various parts successfully. 3. Watching films is just a waste of time. 4. An actor or an actress can become an icon to a person. 5. Films without people may be better than with them. 6. You may like an actor because of their personality. 7. It’s unfair that beginning actors are often ignored

Speaker A. I personally like films with Tom Hanks. In my opinion, he is a truly great actor. I believe every word, every gesture of his characters. He is very sincere and he makes you think and feel like his characters. Most of his roles are quite hard and a less experienced actor wouldn't have managed them. Still, I think the secret of his success is not only his experience as an actor but also the traits of his character, the way he understands people around. Speaker B. I've been a fan of Brad Pitt for a long time. Why? If you look through the list of the films where he starred, either leading or supporting roles, you won't find two parts that are quite similar to each other. In one film he plays a boxer, in another one he is a vampire, and in one more film you can see him as a businessman. He looks good and acts well in all of these films. I mean, there are many actors who play the same in any film, but not him. Speaker C. When I choose a film to watch, I never look at the cast. I don't care who plays in it, if I'm interested in the plot. Too often film directors choose the cast thinking about how much money a certain actor or actress will bring to the future blockbuster. But in my opinion, it's a totally wrong approach. In this way, they may not see a truly gifted young actor who might become a star in this film if they were given a chance. They must think about it, I'm sure. Speaker D. I like films with Angelina Jolie. Any films, really. My parents say that she is not a very talented actress. I don't really care because I never pay attention to her acting. I look at her face. She is beautiful and I want to be like her. She is my role model. I try to copy the way she moves or smiles. I like her make-up and style. She plays in many films, but I sometimes can't retell you the plots of these films, but I can describe her costumes or make-up there. Speaker E. If you ask me to name five actors or actresses, I won't be able to do this. I just don't remember their names. It's not that I think that they are all bad. It's just I pay attention only to films with animals. I think it's more difficult to make such films because it's hard to teach an animal to do what you need it to do. But if you manage to succeed, the result is usually fantastic. The audience is touched because you trust animals more than people. Speaker F. I don't like watching films. I don't really understand people who say that this is their favourite pastime. They just sit in their armchairs or on the couch eating pizza or popcorn, which is unhealthy, and watch something which too often doesn't really deserve their attention. They should go for a walk, or go to the gym, or play a board game, or cook a healthy meal. There are many options. Why look at the screen where nothing important happens?

Sleeping problems are connected with ageing. 2. The quality of your sleep depends on where you are. 3. Everybody must improve their sleeping habits. 4. Sleeping well is important to be healthy. 5. Sports can help people to sleep better. 6. Thinking too much before bedtime is a bad idea. 7. Modern gadgets can negatively affect your sleep.

Speaker A. I don't think I've been sleeping enough for the last couple of years or so. Why? It's not like I spend my nights studying or doing my homework. Usually I just scroll the posts of my friends on social media or watch a new episode of whatever series I've found in the net. Doctors say it's very bad because the screen emits something which prevents people from falling asleep. It's a horrible habit of mine and I don't really know how to get rid of it. Speaker B. Sleep is a top priority for me. I strongly believe that a person can't function well if they don't get enough sleep. If I haven't slept well during the night for some reason, I feel it right away. I start feeling dizzy and get headaches and become irritable. I find it hard to concentrate or perform my daily routine. That's why I'm always in bed at 10pm sharp and get up at 6 or 7 in the morning and I sleep in a dark room and have a comfortable pillow. Speaker C. Being young, I don't really pay too much attention to whether I've slept well or badly. My parents say that sleeping well is important and they feel bad if they haven't had a good night's sleep. Me, I can spend the whole night clubbing with my friends and feel fresh and energetic in the morning. I also like reading or watching films at night, but not every night, of course. I suppose it's age-related. Maybe when I'm 40, I'll be like them. Speaker D. I find it difficult to fall asleep at night, although I have a generally healthy sleeping routine. The thing is, I tend to think over the day before falling asleep and analyse it, and then I think something like, what if, or if only I… And I think how many mistakes I've made and become nervous, and as a result I can't fall asleep. I think I have to take up yoga or learn any other relaxation techniques because I sometimes get nervous even before going to bed. Speaker E. Everybody says I'm a lucky person because I can fall asleep anywhere, anytime. It doesn't matter for me if it's noisy in the room or if somebody's snoring or whatever. I play sports, and I have training sessions seven days a week, which means I'm usually very tired by the end of the day, and I sleep like a log, really. A lot of my friends say they find it difficult to fall asleep, and my parents say they're counting sheep at night, but me, never. Speaker F. I think it's hard for people who live in big cities to sleep well. Cities are too noisy. Traffic produces a lot of noise. Your neighbours can turn out noisy too, and there are a lot of lights everywhere. When I'm in a big city, I can never sleep properly. I live in the countryside and I enjoy peace and quiet there. There's no noise. When my relatives from London are staying with us, they always say they sleep very well here, in the countryside, and I can see why.

There are many advantages of having a dog. 2. People love dogs because they look pretty. 3. Dogs may turn out to be better friends than people. 4. It’s not a good idea to have a dog as a pet. 5. People love dogs because dogs are faithful. 6. Dogs are good pets because they are clever. 7. Dogs don’t love people as much as you may think.

Speaker A. I think people love dogs for many different reasons, but the main one, in my opinion, is that people believe their dogs love them. Unlike cats, dogs seem to be very attached to their owners. Of course, there is some question as to the degree to which dogs actually love their humans, or merely are responding to them as being in effect the dominant member of the pack to which the dog belongs, but in either case, there is a feeling of loyalty. Speaker B. I have a dog and I'm happy about that. I think dogs are the best pets in the world. To start with, they are loyal and friendly. Dogs take a great interest in the people who own them as pets. Moreover, they seem to protect their owners’ interests to the extent that they are capable of, by driving off an attacker, for example, or waking people up if there is a fire in the house, and so on. There are many more pluses. Dogs are just perfect. Speaker C. As far as I know, some famous person once said something like, he liked dogs more than people. Well, sometimes dogs really are better companions than people. Dogs have a certain mental simplicity. For example, they don't lie to their owners and their motives are relatively simple and understandable. And so they are easier to deal with than human beings are. Dogs do not manoeuvre for status because they just accept that humans are in charge. Speaker D. I have a dog and most of my friends have dogs too. When we discuss our pets, we understand that dogs are very clever. Well, of course, they are less clever than their owners, so we take care of them, much as we would of our own children. Still, in my opinion, dogs are relatively intelligent in comparison to many other animals such as tropical fish, frogs, lizards and so on. Sometimes I think my dog understands every word I say. Isn't it great? Speaker E. I don't have a dog because I'm allergic to fur, but I love looking at them. My favourite films are the ones about dogs. They are such beautiful creatures. They are warm, furry and cute. They have soulful eyes and in some ways remind people of children. I know lots of people who have photos of dogs as their screensavers, or just black cups or clothes with pictures of charming puppies. Your heart is literally melting when you see dogs or small puppies. Speaker F. I personally think that dogs are not as pretty and charming as one might think they are. In my opinion, any dog is dangerous. Even those teacup dogs which girls like to carry in their handbags and boast of them like fashionable accessories. Even those small creatures can bite you and give you serious injuries so you must be careful if you see a dog. There are many stories in the news about dogs being aggressive towards people for no reason.

All domestic duties are quite unpleasant. 2. Doing this duty is a way to live green. 3. This domestic duty is a never ending routine. 4. For me this duty is a way to keep fit. 5. You may save money doing this chore. 6. Domestic duties are easier with modern gadgets. 7. This domestic duty can be physically hard.

Speaker A. If you ask me, I don't mind housework in general, but I can't stand one particular thing — washing up. It just never ends. Each time after you eat, there is a pile of dirty dishes in the sink and you have to wash them up, but in several hours it will be just the same after another meal. I have a dishwasher of course, but it doesn't make it any easier. You still have to sort the dishes and then put them in the dishwasher, and you can't wash up everything there. Speaker B. I used to hate vacuuming and mopping the floor, but then my parents bought a robotic vacuum cleaner. It's great. It scans the rooms and makes up something like a mental map of the house and its memory. And then it vacuums everything, and it can wash the floor too. You can do something else whilst it's working. Isn't it amazing? Now I have more time on other things and I'm so happy to have this vacuum cleaner. Try it if you're tired of mopping the floor. Speaker C. As for me, I don't like vacuum cleaning and washing the floors. First of all, we have a big house, so there is much space for us to vacuum clean and wash. Moreover, I always feel so tired after I've completed it all. I sweat and I find it so difficult, you know. After it, I need to lie down for an hour or even more, having some rest because my whole body hurts. I feel less exhausted after a gym session to be perfectly frank. Speaker D. I know that a lot of people can't stand washing the floor as they think this is too hard and they feel tired afterwards. As for me, I love washing the floor. Why? Well, if you compare an aerobics class with it, you will see that you are doing practically the same there as when you are washing the floor. Plus, washing the floor is free and you are making your living space better. Washing up, on the contrary, is useless for your figure. Speaker E. My household duty is sorting out and throwing away the rubbish. You may think this is not a very pleasant thing to do, but hey, it's important. Nobody likes to have full trash bins at home. The thing is, I very carefully sort out the rubbish, making sure that organic waste is separate from plastic bottles or paper or glass. If we do not use selective recycling, our planet will be impossible to live on quicker than anyone can even imagine. So do it! Speaker F. My domestic duty is doing the shopping. You must be very clever and creative to do it. First of all, you need to monitor special offers to have a chance to buy something at a reduced price. Secondly, you need to plan your meals for, say, a week, to buy the food that you need because you end up spending more money than you have planned if you pop in at the local grocery shop every now and then. So what I do is important for my family.

There are more cons than pros about bikes. 2. Riding a bike definitely helps to get healthier. 3. Riding a bike is a chance to enjoy nature. 4. Riding a bike can be bad for your health. 5. Riding a bike can help become slim. 6. Riding a bike can be a good way to relax. 7. You can ride a bike at home instead of outdoors.

Speaker A. As for me, I cannot imagine my life without my bike. It's not that I really need to go somewhere. My dad takes me to school and back home, and my sports club is just a few blocks away, so I walk there. Still, having a bike is a must for me because every weekend I go to the countryside. My life would be dull without these long rides when I can just admire the picturesque landscapes I pass by. I never get tired of looking at green valleys and colorful flowers. Speaker B. If you ask me, well, I don't have a bike because I can't ride it. That's right, everybody is supposed to be able to ride a bike. But when I was a child, my parents were protecting me from everything all the time. Besides, I was afraid to fall off the bike and break my arm or leg. As a teenager, I felt shy to start learning. All of my friends could do it. Now I have an exercise bike, which is a nice substitute. Of course, I can't enjoy the nature while riding it, but at least I can exercise. Speaker C. I don't like riding a bike. In my opinion, it's plain boring. I don't understand people who are enthusiastic about riding bikes at the weekend. Still, I do agree that riding a bike is great to exercise your muscles and improve your overall physical condition. It's good cardio, even if you do it indoors, like in the gym. My coach says that regular bike training sessions help to get rid of a lot of medical conditions. No wonder bike classes are so popular in gyms now. Speaker D. I've been trying to lose some weight for quite a while. A couple of months ago my mother suggested trying riding a bike. Apparently her friend's son had the same problem but managed to solve it thanks to regular bike rides. My parents bought me a second-hand exercise bike and I've been using it three times a week for a month and a half already. It's not a piece of cake to ride 20 kilometers per session, but I definitely see the results. I've lost a couple of kilos. Speaker E. To my mind, you'd better stay away from those bikes. I don't really understand why bikes are so popular these days. In my opinion, it's so easy to hurt yourself while riding a bike. First of all, you can fall off the bike and break a bone. It's going to take a long time to recover in this case. Secondly, it's cardio. So if you're not careful enough with your heart rate, you may get serious problems with your heart later. I'd rather do yoga or go to the swimming pool. Speaker F. I know people ride their bikes for different reasons. It could be anything from getting slimmer to just getting outdoors to breathe some fresh air. As for me, the reason why I love riding my bike is the incredible sense of freedom I get while riding a bike. I forget about all my problems and worries. There's only me and my bike and I go wherever I want and there's nothing stressing me out. To be perfectly frank, I think it's the best way to get some rest.
