Transcript: 

Jack¹: Hi, Ismael. How are you?

Ismael: Hi, Jack. I'm OK but I’ve got loads of homework.

Jack: Me too, but would you like to come with us to the cinema tonight?

Ismael: Who's 'us'?

Jack: Me, Jamie, Nicola and Selina.

Ismael: OK, and what's the film?

Jack: We don't know. We can't decide. There's that new horror² film, 'Light and Dark'.

Ismael: No, no, no! I don't like horror films.

Jack: OK, well, there's a comedy about a school.

Ismael: Oh, no more school, please! What about a romcom?

Jack: Romcom?

Ismael: You know, romantic comedy, boy meets girl ...

Jack: What? Really? No, I hate romantic films. I like action.

Ismael: Well, there's a new science fiction film, 'Alien attacks'.

Jack: OK, I like science fiction. Let's see that.

Ismael: OK, I'll ask the others if they like sci-fi.

Ismael: At 8 o'clock. Let’s meet at 7:30 outside the cinema.

Jack: OK. See you later.
