Hi, I'm Juan. Today, we're going to talk about movies.
The last movie I saw was Moon Brothers. It's a kids' movie about a boy and a wolf. I watched it at the movie theater with my wife and kids. It was a happy and funny movie.
My favorite movie is Silver Blades. It's an action movie. It's very exciting, and I watch it every year. I also like documentaries because they are interesting and informative. Some documentaries are sad and serious, but I don't mind.
I prefer comedies to romances because they are funny. I don't like romances very much because they are boring. I hate horror movies. They are frightening and give me nightmares.
💬 Now it's your turn!
What is your favorite movie?
What type of movie is it?
Why do you like it?
