W I heard that you were busy preparing this year’s Campus Film Festival, right? M Yeah, Andrea. You are interested in that?
W I don’t really know about that. Can you tell me something about the festival?
M Sure. It was started by our Students’ Union years ago and has grown every year. It is held over 4 nights during study break. The films are normally shot by students from different universities.
W Cool! Then who picks the film?
M It’s up to the organization committee to decide.
W Last year I went to do some of the films in the festival and especially liked the video interviews. How does that fit in?
M We set up cameras in the passage of the theatre and did live interviews during break. Anyone from the audience could come up and talk about the film.
W Can I ask another question? All the films are from universities in our country, aren’t they?
M Not exactly. We occasionally choose some films from foreign universities. The words on the screen are translated into Chinese so that everybody can understand the context.
W So how much does a ticket cost?
M It only costs￥10 for the students in our school and ￥15 for others. Text 10
Advertisements often encourage us to believe that because someone has been successful in one field, he should be regarded as an authority in other fields.
