R: hello, I'm Rob and welcome to 6 minute english. With me today in studio is Ms. Feifei. Hello there.
F: Hi Rob.
R:In today's programme we are discussing films make us cry and why we actually enjoy watching something that makes us burst into tears or another words to cry out loud. We are also looking at the language associated with crying. So crying out loud surely this is something that you have done, Feifei?
F: I'm afraid yes so I have done that.
R: Is there a particular film is made you cry?
F: I think you have to see the film Turner and Hooch. And how about you Rob?
R:Well, being a man obviously I will never cry well almost. There is an old children's film called The Railway children. At the end, when the children's father returns from exile, his daughter runs out the station platform shouting: My daddy my daddy. That makes me misty-eyed.
F: You 're big softy.
R: I suppose I'm. Now Feifei, before we discuss this subject further, here's your question for today: Which film has won the most ever Oscars awards? Is this.. a. Ben Hur b. Slumdog Millionaire or c. Gone with the wind
F: I think I'm going to go for answer b. Slumdog millionaire.
R: ok. Let's find out if you are right at the end of programme. Of course, the 85th academy awards better known as the Oscars were held recently and there was one major weepy that won several awards.
F: a weepy? you mean a film that makes us cry.
R: Yes and that film was Lei Miserables. I have seen it really is a tearjerker. It literally causes tears to roll down our checks. So why do we chose to see the film or movie that makes us get so emotional ?
F: I suppose it 's the mark of a good film if it causes us to reveal our emotions. A really sad story if it's well acted and directed, can really make us blub (another word for crying). And a sob
