Write down a LITERAL TRANSCRIPTION of your presentation.
Well, I decided to talk about some films I've seen and that I liked and I found interesting. I've only been able to put 5 because with 5 minutes I don't have time to put them all.
Detroit rock city (1999): Four members of a high school band called Mystery do everything they can to attend a KISS concert in Detroit. Their names are Lex, Trip, Hawk and Jam. In order to make it to the show they must steal, cheat, strip, etc… generally do whatever it takes to see the band. It’s a very funny film.
The educators (2004): It’s about three friends, two boys called Jan and Peter, and a girl, called Jule. They want to change the state of the world. They formed a group called “The edukators”. They come in the house of rich people and change the furniture site, hiding objects, etc, but they never use violence and never stole anything. It’s a kind of protest about rich people. Everything is complicated when Jule falls in love with the two guys, and then they get into trouble.
Clockwork orange (1971): It’s a classic. It’s about a young man called Alex, his passions are ultra violence, rape, steal, and Beethoven. He is the ringleader of a group; they hit, rape and terrorize people. Alex caught it and locked in prison and he voluntarily submitted to a program that nullifies this bad behaviour. Seems to work, but at the end of the movie is shown that it hasn't worked.
Sid and Nancy (1986): It's about the relationship of Sid, the bassist of the Sex Pistols, a punk group, and Nancy, his girlfriend. In the movie they fall into drugs, Nancy gives heroin to Sid, and finally Nancy dies murdered. It's a film based on real ed, but Johnny Rotten, lead singer of the Sex Pistols, says that's a lie. Real or not, it's a very interesting film.
Transpotting(1996): This film is about a group of people who live only by drugs. They are addicted to heroin or alcohol. One of them, Mark, decides to stop drugs and do something useful. It's very interesting the philosophy of life that he has while he is within the world of drugs, without responsabilities or worries, cares only get more drugs.
Check your Language and Structure. Can you correct your mistakes?
I can improve my pronunciation and my entonation. Maybe I should use more fillers.
