Carol: How did you like the film?
Richard: Well, I don’t usually enjoy watching films about history, I think they’re boring. But this time I found it quite interesting.
Carol: I agree with you. I suppose it was because the actors were really good. I loved them, especially the girl playing young Queen Elizabeth.
Richard: I’m not so sure… actually, what I liked best was the photography.
Carol: It was a bit long. I wanted to meet my friends after the movie, but it’s already 6 and I have to go home now. I’m going to Cork tomorrow morning.
Richard: But it was only 2 and a half hours long. A film about the life of a queen can’t be shorter than that!
Carol: Maybe you’re right. At least we’ve learnt something useful. We’re studying the life of Queen Elizabeth at school.
Richard: Yes, it will help us with the history test we’ve got next week.
Carol: True. So, what about going to the cinema again next Saturday? There’s a film about Queen Victoria…
Richard: Well, as I told you, I’m not into historical films. Why not watch a horror or a comedy?
Carol: Horror films are too scary! Let’s go see something funny.
