11. Do you think streaming services are changing the movie industry? Why?
(스트리밍 서비스가 영화 산업을 바꾸고 있는지)

✅Sample Answer

Yes, definitely. I think streaming services are changing the movie industry in a huge way. First, they’ve changed what people expect. These days, a lot of people want instant access, so they don’t want to wait too long to watch something at home. Second, streaming has created more chances for smaller or less commercial movies to reach viewers. And honestly, I think that’s a good thing. At the same time, though, theaters are facing a lot more competition now. Some movies don’t feel like big events anymore because people know they can just watch them at home later. So yeah, I’d say streaming has made movies more accessible, but it has also changed audience habits a lot.

(영화 보기 전에 보통 무엇을 하는지)

✅Sample Answer

Well, before I watch a movie, I usually do a little setup so I can really focus on it. First, I choose the genre depending on my mood. Like, if I’m tired, I usually go for something light and easy to watch. But if I want something more exciting, I pick a thriller or an action movie. I also check a short review or rating, but not too much because I really hate spoilers. Then I grab a drink or a snack, put my phone on silent, and dim the lights a little. Honestly, it’s a small thing, but it makes the whole experience a lot better. It kind of helps me create a mini theater vibe at home.

✅Sample Answer

After I watch a movie, I usually take a few minutes to think about it instead of moving on right away. I like going over the best scenes in my head and thinking about the message or the ending.

Sometimes I also look up the cast or watch a short behind-the-scenes clip. And if I really liked the movie, I’ll recommend it to a friend pretty quickly.

14. What do you think makes a movie good?
(좋은 영화의 조건은 무엇이라고 생각하는지)

✅Sample Answer

Well, for me, a good movie is more than just something flashy or exciting. I mean, great visuals are nice, but what really matters is the story and the characters. If the characters feel real, I get much more emotionally involved in the movie. And honestly, I also think pacing is really important. Even if the story is interesting, if it feels too slow or too confusing, I kind of lose focus. Another thing I care about is whether the movie stays with me after it ends.

(누군가에게 영화를 추천한 적이 있는지, 어떤 영화였고 왜 추천했는지)

✅Sample Answer

Actually, yes, I have. I once recommended a movie to one of my close friends after watching it on a weekend. It was a thriller, and I recommended it because I knew my friend likes suspenseful stories as much as I do. What I really liked about that movie was that it wasn’t just intense. It also had really well-developed characters, so it felt more interesting and realistic. I mean, some thrillers are exciting, but you forget them pretty quickly. This one was different because it had a strong ending and left a lasting impression on me. So right after I finished it, I texted my friend and said, “You should definitely watch this.” Later, my friend watched it and told me it was actually even better than expected, so I was pretty happy about that. Honestly, recommending a movie feels great when the other person ends up enjoying it too.
