What kind of movies do you like?

I like all kinds of movies. I'm a movie buff, so I've watched various ones. Terminator 2 is one of my favorite films, thus I've watched it over 100 times.

I like all kinds of movies. I'm a movie buff, so I've watched various ones. ''Terminator 2'' is one of my favorite films, thus I've watched it over 100 times.

1 & 2. Highlight movie titles.
100 times?! You're more dedicated to that movie than I am to my own family! What is it about it that keeps you coming back?

That's because that movie changed my life. When I first saw it, I was amazed because of its coolness. Characters, motorcycles, everything. Then, my dream was becoming a bodybuilder like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Speaking of which, have you watched it?

1. You may also use ''by''.
2. Use the infinitive verb to indicate the nature of your dream.
You must know that movie by heart! I've only seen it once, but I remember enjoying it. How did it change your life?

Sounds nice! Let me boast about myself for a bit. A few months ago, I met John Connor who was a child actor of that movie. As for your question, Terminator 2 destined my job. I trained much to build muscle. Then, my parents got angry saying becoming a bodybuilder was a stupid idea.

I trained hard to build muscle. Then, my parents got angry as they thought that becoming a bodybuilder was a stupid idea.

1. Use ''the'' when you refer to something specific.
2. Use ''in'' to indicate where he acted.
3 & 4. Highlight movie titles.
5. Use ''determined'' to mean influence your career path.
6. ''hard'' is more appropriate to mean putting a lot of effort into training.
7. Use the phrase to indicate their reasons.
Wait, you met John Connor? That's incredible! How did you overcome your parents' objections? Did you ever get to show them how successful you became?

Absolutely yes! I participated in an event and met him. Furthermore, I talked to him. Actually, I surrendered to my parents. However, I am really grateful to them. No matter how hard I try, my face is not similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Oh, his name is too long, isn't it?

Absolutely, yes! I participated in an event and met him. Furthermore, I talked to him. Actually, I gave in to my parents. However, I am really grateful to them. No matter how hard I try, my face doesn't become similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Oh, his name is too long, isn't it?

1. Use a comma after an introductory word.
2. Use ''gave in'' to mean agreed with their request.
3. ''doesn't become'' is more appropriate.
So, what do you do now? Are you still into bodybuilding? And what was it like meeting John Connor in person? I wonder what other movies have shaped who you are today.

I'm a firefighter. I am no longer into bodybuilding because my strength is agility not muscular. My image and John Connor in person was totally different. He had become an adult, though last time I saw him in the movie was still child. Does movie characters get old?

I'm a firefighter. I am no longer into bodybuilding because my strength is agility not muscle mass. My image of John Connor and seeing him in person were totally different. He had become an adult, though the last time I saw him in the movie was still child. Do movie characters get old?

1. Replac with ''muscle mass'' as the object of ''is'': ''muscular'' is used as an adjective.
2. Use ''of'' to indicate relating to something.
3. Rephrase for clearer meaning.
4 & 6. Use plural verbs for plural subjects.
5. Use ''the'' to refer to specific things.
