For questions 1-5, choose the correct answer by matching the people below with the following texts.

Team Cinema Choice

The people below are members of the same work team and want to choose a film to watch at the cinema together. Below are descriptions of eight films. Decide which film would be the most suitable for each person. For questions 1-5, choose the correct answer.

Priya

Priya wants an exciting film with lots of action and danger, but she hates anything with horror or monsters. She would like a clear story that is easy to follow after a long day at work.

Marta

Marta loves mystery stories and wants a film that keeps her guessing until the end. She enjoys clever plots and surprising endings. She doesn’t want a comedy or a romance.

Hannah

Hannah has had a stressful week and wants to relax. She likes comedies, especially ones that are not too long. She also prefers films that are suitable for all ages because she may bring her younger cousin with her.

Leo

Leo is studying art and enjoys films with beautiful scenery and strong visual style. He doesn’t want a noisy action film. He would like something calm and thoughtful that he can talk about afterwards.

Omar

Omar loves true stories and enjoys learning something new from films. He is interested in science and technology, and he prefers films that feel realistic rather than fantasy. He doesn’t mind if the film is serious.

What to do

This task is a long one, so don’t worry, it cannot be done quickly!

Your task is to match eight texts with five people. There are three texts which you will not need.

It’s important to find out what the different people want before you look at the eight texts.

Don’t choose an answer just because it contains the same words as the question. Read the texts carefully to check the meaning is correct.

This part of the test cannot be done quickly because you need to read the details in each text carefully, and you may have to go back to a text and re-read it several times.

When you are sure you have found an answer, you may want to cross out that particular text as you will not need to read it again.

Strategy

  1. Read the five descriptions of people and underline the key words.
  2. Now read one description and try to find the matching text. The correct text must have all the points that the person requires. For example, if a person wants a romantic book that is short, you must find a text which matches the two requirements: romantic and short.
  3. Usually, the correct answer will not contain exactly the same words as the person’s description. You may have to recognize different ways of saying the same thing, for example, ‘love story’ instead of ‘romantic’, and ‘a book | can read quickly’ instead of ‘a short book’.
  4. If you think that there are two texts that seem to match the same person, read the description and the two texts again carefully. Only ONE text will match ALL of a person’s requirements.
  5. Check that the option you have chosen ts correct by trying to find out why the other options are incorrect.

Instructions

For questions 1-5, choose the correct answer by matching the people below with the following texts.
