Task 1. Read the magazine interview. Choose the best answers, A, B or C. Mike: Hi! I’m Mike Prior. I’m interviewing people for the school magazine. Is it OK if I ask you some questions?
Paula: Of course. I’m Paula. What do you want to know?
Mike: I want to know what people think of the new school film club.
Paula: Oh, I think it’s great! Our teacher, Mr Rogers, knows a lot about films and books and we learnt a lot.
Mike: And did you like the film?
Paula: I did, but my friends didn’t. They wanted to see a film with more action. But I’m interested in history and I really liked the story.
Mike: Did you read Great Expectations before you saw the film? Charles Dickens isn’t an easy writer.
Paula: I tried, but it’s very difficult. That’s why the film club is so good. Mr Rogers showed the same chapter in three different films. That was great. Every director did something different.
Mike: Do you think it’s a good idea for the film club to show films made from books?
Paula: Yes, I do. It can help with homework. It’s easy to understand the story with a film. And some people don’t like reading, but the film can make them interested in the book.
Mike: What’s next for the film club?
Paula: Divergent. I didn’t know the film came from a book. I started reading it yesterday and it’s really good. I can’t wait to see what the director does in the film. I can learn a lot.
