At the cinema. My favourite film.
I like to go to the cinema. There is a cinema not far from my house. It is modern. When I have free time I always go there to see a new film. There are different kinds of films: black-and-white and colour films, sound and mute films. People go to the cinema and everybody can see a film to his taste. There are different types of films: horror, action, romance, comedy, animated, fantasy.
My favourite film is Harry Porter and Half-Blood Prince. It’s a fantasy film starring Danielle Radcliffe and Emma Watson. The film is about the battle between good and evil. I found the film exciting, and the acting was wonderful. I think it’s a must see for everyone. It’s well worth seeing. Тhat’s all about
