2. Readthe following three texts about science fiction. For each question (1-3) choose the correct answer according to what you hear. Circle A,B or C
Text1.
The most recentfilm in the Flight to Venus series is in our cinemas now. In spite of
an excellent performance by Dee Francis as the archaeologist on the spaceship,
the story is much weaker than the previous two films in the series and, in my
opinion, not as entertaining. There are also some very frightening scenes,
particularly those involving realistic monsters from the planet Venus, which may
not be good for young children. It will probably be popular among science fiction
addicts, but not something I would want to see a second time. I had nightmares
after the first!
The author of the text
A praises the quality of the film.
B gives a warning about the film.
C. Rrecommends the film to cinema-goers.
