It’s a conversation between Hana from japan and Ben from United States. They are talking about what kind of movie do their like. Ben favorites genres are Science Fiction (Sci-Fi) and Horror. The last sci-fi movie Ben watched was called the shape of water. This movie, tells about a love story between a janitor and a merman (kind of a mermaid). And the horror movie that ben likes is called It. It’s kind of a sci-fi horror mix. It’s about aline that comes to the town and takes a form as a clown, an evil clow. Every 65 years, he terrorizes a town because he is starving and looking someone to eat.

All films are fictional story. Made to make everyone interested in seeing it. The film causes the audience to think that all of these things are real. Although it is real, it is all made up by humans as well. And it's not true. There are also films based on true stories. But as an audience we can't immediately believe it. Sometimes, a story can be written again by the director or story writer.

Reflection (50 words or more): What you have learned or the problems you have during extensive listening, how did you deal with to solve the problems

It’s hard for me when listening to the thing said by Hana. Because Hannah is Japanese, so English is not Hannah's daily language. Therefore, Hannah's speech sometimes the pronunciation of sentences is too fast and cannot be understand or the pronunciation is poorly understood for me. I learned a new Accent, which is the English accent of japanese people.

Hana: Okay, so let's talk about movies.

Ben: Okay.

Hana: What kind of movie do you like?

Ben: Well, my favorite genres are actually, let's see, science fiction, sci-fi, and horror.

Hana: Horror?

Ben: Yeah.

Hana: What was the last movie you watched? Do you remember?

Ben: The last movie I watched was a science fiction. It was called The Shape of Water.

Hana: Okay. Never heard, never seen, yeah.

Ben: Well, I can you a little about it, if want to hear.

Hana: Yeah, yes. Please do.

Ben: Okay, so it's actually a love story about a janitor and a merman.

Hana: Okay. Yeah.

Ben: A merman, like, you know ...

Hana: Mermaid. Mermaid, yeah.

Ben: Mermaid, yeah, merman. It's actually ... I don't want to give away too much of the story, but this janitor is working at this underground government facility. She cleans the floors next to this giant fish tank. She never knows actually what's inside, but one day, this merman comes up to the glass and she sees him. She instantly falls in love. The beautiful part is, is that he can't speak. He can't speak English, right? But the beautiful part is she's actually deaf. She can't hear, so this beautiful, amazing relationship kind of blossoms from them. She teaches him sign language. Oh, it's unbelievable. I recommend it.

Hana: It's like a modern version of Romeo and Juliet, yeah? Kind of.

Ben: Maybe. I mean, that's not like they weren't ... They weren't star-crossed lovers, per se, but, no, it was definitely an interesting love story. Yeah, that's the last movie I saw, recently.

Hana: What about horror movies?

Ben: I actually like this movie called It. It's based on a book written by this horror author, Stephen King. Maybe you've heard of Stephen King.

Hana: Oh, yes, yes, yes. He's a famous writer, yeah?

Hana: Mm-hmm

Ben: Yeah, this is actually a story about a .... It's kind of a sci-fi horror mix, so it's like, of course it's one of my favorites. It's about this alien that comes to this town and takes a form as a clown, an evil clown, every 65 years. He wakes up from his deep sleep and he's hungry, because he needs to eat. He takes his form as a clown and terrorizes this town every 65 years. The movie takes place in the 19, let's see, I think it's the 1970's. That's the time when the monster wakes up. This group of kids starts figuring it out, "What's happening in our town?" It's kind of a coming of age tale in a horror movie. I don't know, it's really interesting. I hope I didn't ruin it. I'm not going to tell you the ending, of course.

Hana: Okay. I'm not a big fan of horror movies. It makes me kind of ... Not to go to toilets or not to go to bathroom.

Ben: Alright.

Police in the American state of Arizona thought that they were about to embark on a grim investigation when they received reports of human remains at the bottom of the Colorado River. On closer inspection, and much to the relief of emergency crews, the so-called remains were two fake skeletons enjoying a tea party.

The discovery of the underwater bash came after officers received reports that a snorkeler had saw human bones, but they soon found the pair donning sunglasses and lounging in lawn chairs on the riverbed. One of the skeletons bore a sign reading, “Bernie living the dream in the river.”

Two divers later came forward to claim responsibility for creating the skeleton tea party. The pair placed the skeletons named Bernie and Bernadette in the river in August 2014 for their own amusement. The county lieutenant expressed hopes that the dive site will become a tourist attraction for the area.

Everyone can't be prejudiced right away. They also can't directly ask the perpetrator what happened. Because they are afraid that something bad will happen. Whatever we make, we have to give a description. In order, others who see him are not prejudiced
