today is first of all i'm going to give you the name of three british directors who i think are the three best directors in british cinema and you can check them out all of their films are good they're quite what's the word they're quite real so their cinema is very pragmatic and real quite harsh right it's not like the american cinema where everybody's happy there's a happy ending you get revenge you kill the enemy and everybody smiles it's not like that british cinema is quite harsh and real down to earth but if you like that it's well worth checking out so i'm going to give you the

in ruby punam brilliant so hi good afternoon or good morning by the way just before we begin um i've had a couple of questions so i'm going to address them very quickly first question lots of people have asked me um ielts indicator should i do it okay ielts indicator very briefly this is what the ielts organization has set up because of the coronavirus so many tests are cancelled and so in order for people to still go to or apply to universities abroad they need you need your ielts test right this is for academic only academic ielts they have set up ielts indicator it's an online test that you can do to give you an indicative score what does that mean it means it gives you an approximate score it gives you a score a real score but your university may or may not accept it they may say okay do it now but we also want you to do the face-to-face test so you do need to check with your university right um so that is just about ielts indicator you can find out more about it um here let me just give you the the web page um it happens online you do it from the comfort of your home literally right it's um let me show you very very briefly let me just show you how this works because i know quite a few people are interested so oh can you see that yes you can see that right okay um there it is sorry i'm trying to manage my windows so it's an online test taken from the comfort of your home it tests the four skills it's only for the academic test and it's only a temporary period of time right this is just for the time that we have covered so later maybe in a few months it might disappear it tells you all about it and if you want to it tells you about the format the speaking is online it's a video conference call you need gives you a checklist so you need a computer you need a all of these things imagine if you want to book then you can book now online it tells you a bit more about it um and then if you choose your country let's imagine let's imagine i'm in india some of you are in india right i submit oh gosh i'm not gonna do it am i no i don't think i'm going to do it um so i submit oh now then why is it not showing you on here i'm actually in but it's not shared it's not showing you the shared screen that's a bit strange let me get you back in share the screen the book now select country ah because it went to a different ice i know it went to a different tab bear with me bear with me with me that means wait registration this is the one he went to a different tab that's why you can't see it you then register here i'm in india which version of ielts is ready for me so it can be on desktop computer or laptop and then it shows you so you can see right they've only got one test a week and this is the same in most countries it's on wednesday it lasts for three hours it's live and if i choose it then tells me the time and how much i have to pay right i think it's 149 across the world and if i don't have an account i go here i'm not going to do that because i'm not going to do the test but that's it ielts indicator so you can go and check out and have a look at it right lots of tests are cancelled i'm curious is anybody doing the test this week i'm wondering let me just check your other questions few universities accept it about five years i think a lot of universities may not accept it so you must contact your university first and check with them um so no this is not for immigration this is only for academic you can't see me on youtube kate really i think everyone else can there's lots of youtube people here okay so is anybody doing the test this week i can't see any oh yes a few yes yes yes yes i'm booked on may 23rd that's in a few weeks time so there's a few people doing it this week because the other question number two that people ask me is keith can you give us the new questions may to august every four months there are new questions um and people want me to give them the questions um okay i don't have the questions right i don't have a secret spy working in the british council to give me the questions i wish i did but i don't i'm too honest for that um now the thing is nobody can get the questions until the tests begin in may as soon as the tests begin lots of organizations send people to the test center and they get the questions from the students so what was your question today oh yes i had this and they get the questions and then they post them on the internet or there are websites like ielts liz ielts speaking success also the ask students tell us the questions you got and put them on the website and then liz i do the same as liz we collect the questions and then organize them what i do is make a video with the questions and potential answers or ideas or vocabulary i try not to give model answers because i i don't want you to memorize the answer but i do want to give you the language and the vocabulary that can help you so until the tests begin we don't know the new questions now interesting curving says 8th of may in australia yes right curving if you're willing share the questions with us if you're willing but of course everybody gets different questions so you need to gather lots of questions from lots of students so it normally takes a week or two before i make the videos so we will see and this assumes there are new questions because i wonder with the coronavirus will they postpone the new questions like they've postponed the test again i don't know so we will have to wait and see suman thank you very much you can see me in youtube good a few vietnamese students have taken the test pretty simple simple or the same of course it's not the questions that are simple it's it's the answer that's simple or complicated okay tomorrow in australia so it seems like australia is the hot spot okay yeah so let's see anyway that that was it that was just um that was just a few two questions ielts indicator and the new questions now let's move back to movies three directors right i promised you if you are a film buff and a film buff is somebody who likes um somebody who likes movies right then you should check out these guys so we've got i'm going to write these down for you these are my three favorite um british directors who i think are fantastic of course i'm a big fan of the british cinema because it's just so different from american cinema i think all of european cinema i mean i've seen a lot of swedish norway french spanish italian films and i love them i love the european style of film it's it's so much more down to earth right it's it's very much more about real life i think but if you're interested okay these guys ken loach stephen frias mike lee classic british cinema it's contemporary cinema so it's modern films going back from maybe the 1970s right up to today they're still you know producing them brilliant check them out later i'll give you actually a few different films you might want to go and watch you can get them either well if you have a vpn you can go into britain get them on the iplayer you can if you're in russia you can probably use yandex and get them free somewhere i'm sure most of you have got enough ways of getting around the system to see these films paying or not paying now somebody made a great point here somebody said love deep bollywood now bollywood another great industry film industry bollywood produces more films than hollywood and it's an amazing industry the films are quite special i've seen a few bollywoods and i find them very interesting and i don't mean interesting as in interesting interesting as in they're curious for me they're a very unique style right they seem to have dancing singing and then shooting and killing and then just before they kill someone they burst into a song it's a lovely kind of mix of uh different styles i don't know much about it i'm sure you can tell us much much more about it amir french movies brilliant movies i love french movies i studied french at university that was my major i'm a big fan of i'm a francophile and i love french cinema french music absolutely great brilliant good so lots of you netflix as well if you're on netflix you can probably get most of them um william to pronounce the sentence i'm a bit of a movie buff i'm a bit of a movie buff that's how we pronounce it okay brilliant oh now some chinese fantasy dramas again chinese films right um i'm a big fan a big fan of chinese films not only the kind of the kung fu fighting films but a lot of the period dramas set in the dynasties many many years ago some amazing uh chinese movies they're quite hard for me to understand and not only the language but the cultural context and and that's me i mean i lived in china for donkey's years but even so the history of china is quite deep and hard to get under really really deep but great films so let's jump in um i'm going to look at some vocabulary first of all to start us out right and this i'll look at vocabulary some useful words focus on pronunciation and collocation so collocation is how we use it in a sentence i mean in a phrase which words go together right if we say a movie then we watch a movie right we don't look a movie we watch a movie okay so let's have a look oh sorry i love your comments it's so interesting i'm a big fan of james bond the name's bond james bond double o seven great yeah korean there's an amazing korean film that won the award right several months ago and i can't remember the name of it it was really interesting oh it'll come back to me stephen chow yeah nice he's great okay collocations thankful sid we're going to look at words sorry collocations uh for these this vocabulary so listen carefully look carefully and let me share my little notepad with you here's my little notepad so first of all right movies oh yeah what's the difference movies and films well i think very simply movies is american in america they say go to the movies films it's much more a british word well british australian canadian maybe i don't know so in england we always talk about films movies is much more american but both are fine of course in ielts speaking you can use american and british so we say go to the movies we don't say go to the films right we say go to the movies because the move is here all's kind of means everything the movie theater the cinema everything together so notice we say we don't say go to we say go to go to the movies go to the movies little practice you can see right i'm integrating the fluency gym right here right now so say with me go to the movies i like to go to the movies can you hear the t i like to go to the movies i love to go to the cinema brilliant nice well done excellent good um so we've got movies films so we watch movies we watch films movie theater again is much more american i think cinema is the british version so we can talk about the film industry the british film industry the american film industry okay so we can say i'm a movie buff or i'm a film buff and very often right in british we often say i'm a bit of a and it doesn't mean a little it actually means quite a lot oh i'm a bit of a film buff i'm a bit of a film buff right great oh great a bit of french gemaleo cinema great we've got soundtrack so the music to the film is the soundtrack so the soundtrack can be it has well um oh what can you have you can have an engaging soundtrack enchanting soundtrack enchanting means it's like a spellbounding really captures your attention [Music] engaging enchanting soundtrack impressive soundtrack plot is the story so often we talk about a story line it's the storyline is the plot um plots can be fast-paced so for an action film it'll be a fast-paced plot so you would say it has a fast-paced plot one more time it has a fast-paced plot brilliant good very much somebody has just given me a nice word there upbeat soundtrack upbeat soundtrack it has an upbeat soundtrack nice thank you john mark the plot can also be intricate which means complicated a lot of the crime and thrillers and spy films have intricate plots it has an intricate plot notice we connect and and intricate and intricate and intricate it has an intricate plot if the plot is over complicated or too complex then over complicated it has an over-complicated plot some of these um films the spy films have an over-complicated plot if it's interesting it can be intriguing that makes you really curious and want to know more an intriguing plot right it has an intriguing plot great it has a plot now somebody has just given me this thank you very much english mosaic it has a plot with twists and turns is nice which means the the plot has a twist right if you say the plot has a twist then it has an unexpected ending as a twist at the end a lot of the agatha christie films have a twist at the end that unexpected ending brilliant now then we've got the protagonist is the star of the film if you like the hero the antagonist is also the star but is the if you like the villain or the the man the woman against the protagonist so that the baddie if you like you can also say that right he's a baddie is often the baddie in the film um so you could say for example the protagonist in the film who someone was talking about lord of the rings or lord of the rings um the protagonist is bilbo baggins bilbo baggins is the protagonist in harry potter harry is the protagonist wald voldemore is the antagonist valdemore is the baddie of the film yes brilliant um a suspense plot a suspense a plot full of suspense we would say full of suspense oh thank you for that parasite the korean film exactly the award-winning film was a parasite there you go that's a nice expression right an award-winning an award-winning film it's an award-winning film eg parasite if you haven't seen it go and watch it william isn't it great that we've got more and more international cinema now going around the world we can actually get a real peek into different cultures and different languages i think it's great we've got also a blockbuster somebody said thank you very much chai rich it's a blockbuster it's another expression meaning a very popular film it's been very very good blockbuster on the big screen just means like at the cinema right i like to watch films on the big screen i like to watch films on the big screen brilliant um and then we've got a sequel which is the follow-up movie very many films have a part one part two like toy story two toy story three those are the sequels right sometimes the sequels are not so good but sometimes they are great le lua thank you very much it's a box office hit it's another great expression it's a box office hit and that's nice to talk about it excellent good so we've got movie theater cinema somebody asked a cinema complex so put that up here cinema complex is just it's the same as a cinema but you know many years ago when i was a boy i'm sounding like my grandad many years ago when i was a boy we went to the cinema and you could buy ice cream you could smoke in the cinema there would be an interval or a break in the cinema in the film and it was just one screen one room right nowadays in this day and age cinemas have like five or six rooms five or six screens that is a cinema complex so it's a group of screens or rooms all together so we tend to have cinema complexes in shopping malls right so you can actually go for the whole day do your shopping have a bit of food go to the cinema and then go home it's a day out well it used to be before coronavirus a multiplex as well multiplex cinema it's a cinema with lots of different rooms great 3d cinemas sarah absolutely 3d cinemas are very popular um nowadays

winter's evening i like to curl up nice in front of the fire with hot chocolate watching films don't we all don't we all that's so nice brilliant so um i think i'd finish just let me check had i finished i think i had oh yeah a couple of phrases here a couple of more phrases let me show you this one sorry emmy oh disappear okay um here then right the i if i remember so this is when you're in ielts speaking and if you forget the name of the film or the name of an actor or you don't know the translation in english don't worry just paraphrase so say it in a different way right if i remember correctly the film is called now maybe you don't know the name in english so you can say something like i don't know the name in english but it's a film about so you don't need to know the name in

right if i remember correctly the antagonist is a i can't remember his name actually but he's very famous in my country i can't quite remember the actor's name but he was great okay so you can see

the other time on the on the opposite not really really rarely watch films once in a blue moon it's expression every now and again once in a while every now and then from time to time you could say from time to time whenever i have free time whenever i have so this is good whenever instead of saying when whenever i am in the mood i'm in the mood so notice the difference in a good mood okay so we say in the mood because i noticed we had that before but if you put an adjective then it becomes in a good mood i know strange i know when i'm in a good mood okay brilliant yeah good i'm just checking occasionally there's another nice one you can put up there someone has got isn't it thank you who's now laughing so much because i can't pronounce her name properly and i've probably confused a woman for a man um recently nice great some good expressions there on a daily basis yeah on a daily basis or just if you want to be a bit wider on a regular basis especially during this lockdown period somebody had that expression right during this lockdown period period great so there are some nice expressions there let me quickly swiftly rather rapidly move on to the next question um which is the one that we asked on facebook actually which is this one the kind of films again this is going to be one of the key questions that you will be asked um what kind of movies do you like [Music] so i'm just going to watch your answers because you gave me lots of answers before on facebook i am and i will put the list on the list okay brilliant i love the way you guys are helping each other out answering each other's questions thank you very much so approval comedy movies great um likes horror movies i hate horror movies i just can't sleep i really don't like them great okay from my english my strength what a great tag what a great handle uh my english my strength love it i'm a thriller enthusiast good great we've also got action movies yeah brilliant comedies so comedies yep thrillers i can't read russian so sorry i'm really into thrillers great thrillers we've got different kinds as chai says we've got suspense thrillers sarah likes fantasy dramas excellent um horror sci-fi documentaries as well from rangana the thing is with films nowadays there are so many um series right and box sets that i tend to watch more box sets than movies it's part of the danger of amazon prime and netflix and hbo right other kinds of movies comedy movies because they make me feel relaxed that's great good yes nav deep i'm keen to watch comedy movies with some snacks watch your weight watch your weight this is nice margaery i'm a sucker for comedies that means i really love comedies right if there's a comedy on or i've got to watch it um right sharifah says fantasies so remember we're talking about movies if you use it as a noun you need an s i like comedies i like fantasies i like thrillers um horrors doesn't work right you have to say i like horror films so some adjectives can be a noun but some but not all of them fantasies comedies thrillers all of those can be nouns but they must have the s yeah great animation movies that's great good and just to be clear here so somebody said here comedy can be an adjective right i like watching comedy movies with the s brilliant study study talks study talks great science fiction as an adjective i like science fiction movies um criminal movies yep crime movies criminal movies romantic movies bio biographical movies or biographies one of the biggest ones is action movies right a lot of people like action movies um although these historical movies often called drop period dra period dramas are often very very popular okay so lots of brilliant um ideas there i will copy these up let me just give you oh have we got one last oh no what can't be 11 o'clock already it is 11 o'clock already right um that's fine it's 11 o'clock already i'm gonna have to finish oh my it's gone too fast hasn't it but in the interest of your safety your mental health too much english right can make you tired give you a headache so i laugh but i know it's true if you have too much language when i used to live in um france and china i'd be surrounded by the language all day you get so tired sometimes you come home with your head going boom boom because you just can't process so much of the language right so brilliant i am i am gonna i am gonna wrap up but as i wrap up and finish i'm going to leave you with a some recommendations because i was looking at a list of movies i like and i thought what kind of movies would uh english students like to watch so i'll share a few with you now maybe you've seen them i don't know um but i'll put them on the list and you can go away and check them out but these are some of my not only favorite films but films which i think are accessible and fairly easy to follow for you yes so let me share these with you here we go stay with me don't go yet stay with me uh [Music] here we go can you see that right holes holes is a film and a book so the book is by louis sasha it's it's it's actually a children's book but it's um the film has got a star-studded cast it's got some very very good actors in the film it's a really interesting movie go and watch it about a boy that's a hugh grant again it's a book as well the great thing if it's a book and a movie is you can do both right you can read the book and watch the movie about a boy is a it's a nice kind of uh good feel movie with hugh grant it's a killer blocking bird again it's a book and a movie it's old right it's a good 50 years old but um it's a brilliant brilliant well worth watching especially for your english um 12 angry men right hitchcock again 50 years old very um it's about the the the what the jury of 12 men who have to decide on the verdict if somebody is guilty or not absolutely amazing film well worth watching um willy wonka and the chocolate factory it's for children but for adults as well really there are there's the old one with oh i can't remember the names of the actors but the new one has got johnny depp either the old one or the new one for learning english it's great it's really good any of the harry potter ones the first one i particularly like but they're also good especially for that kind of british pronunciation book thief a few a few of you have seen it right la mai says it's worth watching i think so it's well worth seeing the book thief um nice story if you're into action movies um star wars the old ones the new ones there are so many of them but they're great action movies not too much dialogue so it's kind of easy to follow um the king's speech is an absolute classic i mean it's about 10 years old but it's about the king and how he's got a stammer he has a stutter right he goes can't and his stomach stops him speaking effectively as a king so he has a somebody who is a voice coach and teaches him to speak it's amazing again uh it's a kind of a feel-good movie it's it's a historical movie it's brilliant it's based on a real story um so well worth watching that's right alessia it's colin firth playing george king george the fifth or the sixth yeah brilliant the servant is um a brilliant film it's old it's about in the 1960s again it's an old one but it's about the master servant relationship um well worth watching the ladykillers is another oldie but well worth watching as i mentioned before ken loach landon freedom one of his great films that's from the 1980s i think stephen fries victoria and abdul came out a couple of years ago judy dench as queen victoria abdul as the um the guy who presented her with a special prize or a coin and it's about their relationship the unlikely relationship between a queen and a guy who is like in the role of a servant almost so worth watching uh philomena is another brilliant film if you get to see it from stephen fries philomena dangerous liaisons is great mike lee if you watch nuts in may or
