Sample response:

I have watched an Disney animation called …Tangled‟ last week. The transcript is adapted by a fairy tale written by Green brothers. This time the 3D version of the story amazed me and reminded me of my childhood fantasy.

I like animation because I can find the feeling of …dreams come true‟ in it. When I was a little child I was naïve and believed in dreams but now as a grown up I could only realize my childhood dreams by watching animations. Animation can offer me a way to escape from complicated adulthood for a while.

1. What types of film are most popular in China?

There's no one type of film which is the most popular in China actually. Chinese audiences like all kinds of film: comedy, tragedy, detective film.etc.

I guess new year films are most popular. They're kind of domestic-made big budget films. It has somehow become a cultural phenomenon in China for audiences to cram into the cinema to watch those films specially made for the new year season.

2.Do you prefer watching movies at home or in the cinema?

3.Do Chinese people like going to the cinema to see films?

Yes. The price of the ticket is reasonable in China, more and more people like going to the cinema to experience the real life sound and larger than life size screen.

Generally speaking, Chinese people like going to the cinema to see films because you are more involved in the film and the environment helps you focus your attention on the film and enjoy it. When a blockbuster is on in China like Assembly or Lust, Caution, many people go to the cinema to watch them.

4.How has science and technology affected the way films are made today?

Computer is playing a more important role in today's films to make special effect. Special effect makes the films more exciting.

With the development of science and technology, film studios are able to create more vivid picture of scenes in the scientific fictions. Such development enables more companies to produce more successful sci-fi movies, like the ET and Star Wars series.
