was awesome. I also like to watch movies while I travel. I always load my iPad with lots of
movies and carry it with me. At home, I like the movie channels on TV. I also enjoy TV
series and often search for them on internet.

I’m a big movie fan. I’m into all kinds of movies.-drama, comedy, action-you name it. When
I’m really stressed out, classical movies help me relax. I also like to watch “oldies” most of
all classical ones. In the past, I collected DVDs, but now I just buy movies on the internet.
It´s really convenient because you don’t have to change DVDs! I just download the files
onto my laptop.
Jessica Lim

I watch movies at the theatres and at home after work. I’ve got plenty of time to watch
movies because instead of hanging out with friends, I invite them over to watch movies
with me. I love to watch adventure movies at the theatres but sometimes I prefer DVDs
because the sound quality is better. I download movies and pay a few dollars per movie as
well.
