Movies— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is generally clear but could be more natural and concise. Avoid redundancy such as repeating the time period twice. Also, try to complete your sentences fully, for example, 'I couldn't watch movies' instead of 'I couldn't watch movie'. Adding a linking phrase to explain why you couldn't watch movies after moving would improve coherence.

Ejemplo: I used to watch movies almost every day before coming to London because I was passionate about American film history, especially movies from the 1970s and 1980s. However, since moving to the new city, I haven't had much time to watch films due to my busy schedule.

Sugerencia: Your answer is relevant but could be more natural and fluent. Avoid phrases like 'easy and light documentary movies' which sound slightly awkward; instead, use 'light-hearted documentaries' or 'informative documentaries'. Also, use linking words like 'however' to contrast past and present preferences.

Ejemplo: About one or two years ago, I used to watch movies directed by famous filmmakers like Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, particularly from the 1970s and 1980s. However, recently I have been watching light-hearted documentaries on Netflix.

Sugerencia: Your answer is understandable but incomplete and slightly unnatural. Avoid ending sentences abruptly; complete your thoughts fully. Also, 'useful' is not the best word here; 'comfortable' or 'convenient' would be better. Try to use linking words like 'for instance' to introduce examples.

Ejemplo: I prefer watching movies at home on my smartphone rather than going to the cinema because it is more convenient. For instance, I can easily pause the movie whenever I want to go to the washroom or start cooking.

Sugerencia: Your answer is relevant but could be more natural and complete. Instead of 'with the different languages from one's mother tongue', say 'in languages other than one's mother tongue'. Also, complete your last sentence and use linking words like 'for example' and 'as a result' to improve coherence.

Ejemplo: Yes, watching movies in languages other than one's mother tongue is very effective, especially for learning. For example, when I was in junior high school, I used to watch movies with English subtitles. As a result, I was able to improve both my listening and reading skills simultaneously.

× But after coming to the new city, I couldn't watch movie.

✓ But after coming to the new city, I couldn't watch movies.

The word 'movie' should be plural 'movies' because it refers to movies in general, not a single movie. Using the plural form is appropriate when talking about watching films in general.

× But recently I have been watching easy and light documentary movies using Netflix.

✓ But recently I have been watching easy and light documentary movies on Netflix.

The correct preposition to use with platforms like Netflix is 'on' rather than 'using'. 'On Netflix' indicates the platform where the movies are watched.

× For example, whenever I want to go to the washroom or start cooking, I can easily pause the.

✓ For example, whenever I want to go to the washroom or start cooking, I can easily pause it.

The sentence is incomplete and ends abruptly with 'pause the.' It should be 'pause it' to refer to the movie or video being watched. This correction completes the sentence and clarifies the object of the verb 'pause'.

× Yes, watching movies with the different languages from one's mother tongue is very effective, especially for learning.

✓ Yes, watching movies in different languages from one's mother tongue is very effective, especially for learning.

The correct preposition here is 'in' when referring to languages used in movies. 'With' is incorrect in this context.

× Therefore, I could improve both my listening and reading skills at the same.

✓ Therefore, I could improve both my listening and reading skills at the same time.

The phrase 'at the same' is incomplete. The correct expression is 'at the same time' to indicate simultaneous improvement of skills.
