Should film-makers be responsible for the impact their films can have on people?

Liệu các nhà làm phim có nên chịu trách nhiệm về tác động mà phim của họ có thể gây ra cho mọi người?

[POINT]Point

Film-makers should take some responsibility for the effects of their work, but they should not be blamed for every audience reaction.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Media responsibility can include accurate age ratings, sensible content warnings and avoiding clearly harmful misinformation.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A violent film can be made for adults while still being restricted for younger viewers.

[EXTEND]Extend

Creative freedom is important, so responsibility should focus on reasonable safeguards rather than controlling every theme or message in a film.

Is going to the cinema more or less popular than it used to be, do you think?

Bạn nghĩ việc đi xem phim ở rạp hiện nay phổ biến hơn hay ít phổ biến hơn so với trước đây?

[POINT]Point

Going to the cinema is probably less frequent than it used to be for many people, mainly because home entertainment has improved.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Streaming services give viewers large libraries of films without travel or ticket costs.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A family can watch a new release at home instead of organising a cinema trip.

[EXTEND]Extend

Cinema attendance still rises for major films and special occasions, so the habit has changed rather than disappeared completely.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Viewers often go for genres that are easy to enjoy socially and do not require specialist knowledge.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A group of friends may choose a comedy for a relaxed evening or an action film for excitement.

[EXTEND]Extend

Film genre preferences vary by age and personality, so there is no single type that appeals equally to everyone.

Part 3Topic 14 - Media, Music & EntertainmentEasy-Intermediate

Do you think there’s too much violence in films?

Bạn có nghĩ rằng phim ảnh hiện nay có quá nhiều cảnh bạo lực không?

[POINT]Point

Some films do contain too much violence, especially when it is included mainly for shock value.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Excessive screen violence may contribute to desensitisation and can be unsuitable for younger viewers.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A story may need conflict, but repeated graphic scenes can add little to the plot.

[EXTEND]Extend

Film-makers sometimes take it too far, so clear age ratings and thoughtful storytelling are important even though violence should not be banned from films entirely.

Part 3Topic 14 - Media, Music & EntertainmentEasy-Intermediate

Should there be more films made for children?

Liệu có nên sản xuất nhiều phim hơn dành cho trẻ em?

[POINT]Point

Yes, more high-quality films should be made for children, especially films designed around their age and development.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Good children's media can entertain while also supporting imagination, empathy and learning.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A family film can tell an exciting story while teaching cooperation or respect without becoming a formal lesson.

[EXTEND]Extend

Quantity alone is not enough, so producers should focus on age-appropriate stories and genuine educational value rather than simply creating more content.
