Listening: Why We Love a Movie That Makes Us Cry

Do films like Les Miserables make you cry? This activity was inspired by the BBC 6-minute English audio file, which can be found on: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/general/sixminute/2013/03/130307_6min_tearjerkers.shtml Rob and Feifei discuss why we love to watch films that bring out an emotional response, and cause us to blub and sob. It's possible to download the file on that page and this topic is great for students to practice their listening and discuss it through an open conversation.
