Test Unit 3

Task 1. Read these four reviews of different films. Chose from the box the type of film. There is one extra type of film you don't need to use.

1. Once again, Tom Granger shows in his latest film why audience find him so amusing. Playing his usual character, the lovable loser Benny, Granger makes fun of doctors and hospitals in a hilarious film. Crazy situations and funny dialogues keep you grinning, and the car crash at the end had me crying for all the right reasons. A real hit!

2. This film proves that you can't make a great film just by giving a directora lot of money. The special effects and costumes are wonderful, but the story is about as frightening as a rabbit. Ghosts and graveyards may scare small children, but most of us will yawm through this one. I, for one, was glad when the monster finally did get the girl. At least it saved us from her terrible acting.

3. Director Sarah Howard, best known for her exciting chases and explosions, tries a new style in this complicated story of two people in New York whose lives are changed when they are both arrested. The film is full of suspence as they are passed from the police to the FBI and the CIA. Set in a world of spies and secrets, this film will leave you looking over your shoulders to see who's following you.

4. This is a classic love story based on the novel written by Nicholas Sparks. Boy meets girl. Boy is from a poor background, girl is from a wealthy background and her parents really disapprove of their relationship. Their love goes on quite the journey as the decades pass, but will they end up together? Well, you'll have to watch it to find out!
