    Movie/ Music polls

    In class, in pairs, prepare three questions and ask ten classmates. The questions should be about Movies, Music, TV or Books. I would prefer western media be used, but some answers about Korean actors, musicians or authors are okay.

    First, pick a subject in group A and Group B. Choices are:
    Group A
    Movies......books.......music......TV

    Group B
    Money......favorites.......places

    Examples:
    Movies (Money):
    1) Do you ever buy movies?
    2) ____________
    3)_____________

    Movies (favorites):
    1) Do you have a favorite comedy movie?
    2) ____________
    3)_____________

    Movies (places):
    1) Do you ever watch movies while on a bus?
    2) ____________
    3)_____________
