Do you like reading books?

I recently read a book that one of my friends recommended. It was a French novel by Vonnegut called Cats Cradle. The story was about a young writer who wanted to write a book about the life of the inventor of the atomic bomb although he never finish his book instead, he met a lot of interesting people along the way.

Do people prefer to watch movies at home or at the cinema?
I believe people prefer to watch movies at home. Because it is more comfortable since you can wear anything and eat whatever you want during the movie. You can also pause and watch the movie at your own pace (or rewatch a specific part). Another reason is that watching a movie at home is usually cheaper. You don’t even have to pay for some of them.
Do people in your country prefer to watch movies or read books?
I believe that people in my country prefer movies since their more attractive and quick. This means that you read one book in a week while you can watch two movies in just one day. Another reason is that watching a movie is a shared experience. You can’t watch it with your friends and family at the same time at have fun together.
Are audio books popular in your country?
Yes, and they are getting more and more popular each day. First, because you can multi-task. This means you can listen to them while doing housework or driving another reason is that they are easy to store and carry. You can barely carry a book in your handbag while you can easily carry thousands of audio books in your smartphone.
Describe a movie you watched and liked.
I recently watched a movie named Oppenheimer and I really liked it. It’s the most recent movie by the famous director Christopher Nolan. It’s the story of an American scientist named Robert Oppenheimer and his role in the development of the atomic bomb.
As you see the movie is set in the us during the worldwide two. And immediately capture the atmosphere.
The movie shows both Oppenheimer’s professional and personal life and how they affected his discovery. It introduces u know but important characters in this event. And discuss how a simple man with simple decisions can make great horrible changes.
The movie talks about two different timelines. One which happened in the process of making the bomb and one after that. One timeline is black and white and one is colored to reduce the confusion.
Although the movie was three hours and the story was twisted and there were a lot of characters I didn’t get bored at all and I enjoyed every second of it.
It’s a well-cast movie with breathtaking special effects so it was an immediate box-office hit as expected. It also gets glowing reviews from film critics and won seven Oscars in different categories at the end.
