Interchange5thEd Level3 Unit14 Extra Worksheet

This document provides notes for an extra worksheet activity after a listening exercise from a textbook. It involves having students listen to a script of a radio interview comparing an action movie to Star Wars. The interview discusses how the movies follow similar predictable formulas: introducing the main good guy hero, presenting a problem for them to overcome, making it seem like all hope is lost, and then a climactic resolution where the hero is successful. Students are to fill in the blanks of the script with appropriate phrases provided.

Unit 14 Extra Worksheet

IN THE MOVIES

GRANT: So, what did you think of the movie?


CASEY: Well, the acting was good, but I thought it was too predictable.
GRANT: What do you mean, predictable?
CASEY: I could tell what was going to happen, even before it happened on screen! All
of these action movies have .
GRANT: . What about Star Wars? That movie is totally different from this one.
CASEY: Well, OK, this movie is set in Washington, D.C., not in space – but the basic
formula is the same. , the main character is introduced – the good guy.
GRANT: Right. We had Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, and in this one, we have the
president of the United States.
CASEY: . Then a problem is presented. Right? Usually, the problem is bad guys who
do something wrong, and the good guys have to stop them. That’s when the
action really starts.
GRANT: Of course – because it’s an action movie!
CASEY: Right. So, like Luke has to save Princess Leia and fight Darth Vader. Or, ,
the president has to fight enemy soldiers trying to take over the White House.
GRANT: And then . . . something bad happens, and it seems like all hope is lost.
CASEY: Exactly! In this movie, it seemed like the president was winning, but then the
bad guys kidnapped his family.
GRANT: And in Star Wars, Princess Leia’s planet was destroyed.
CASEY: But it’s all really just a test of our heroes’ strength and determination!
GRANT: ! OK, it really does seem like there are some similarities. So then, , we
get to some good stuff. Like the president setting a trap for the enemy soldiers!
CASEY: Yes! A new plan is put into action. Remember how the Death Star spaceship
had one weakness? Luke and the rebels planned to destroy the ship.
GRANT: , the bad guy is defeated. Luke destroys the Death Star, Princess Leia is
safe, and Darth Vader is spun off into space!
GRANT: , right? And in this movie, the president’s family is saved and the soldiers
are sent to jail. .
CASEY: And that’s the most important part!
