Hello everybody
I did the listening and it could have been worse. The first statement was impossible for me. I made a mistake, I wrote "collecting" and it was collective.
Have a nice day

Hi María,
I want to send you the first part of the listening and tomorrow the second part of the listening where I suppose it will be the answers of the exercise and at the end my mistakes.

Hello, I’m Carl ( ) and this is an entertainment. In today’s programme, we focus on the language of talking about films, and it was captain we’re be looking and reviews on a new film based on a World Cup qualification match. The film is called Offside and is by Iranian director ( ) ( ). The film is about a group of women football fans in Iran; who want to go and watch World Cup qualifications match between their country Iran and Bahrain. However, because in Iran women aren’t allowed to attend male sporting events, they have to try different ways of getting into the stadium. They try different discussing; but they’re stopped seeing the match by soldiers, who keep in a room, where they can hear but not see the match. The film is not in English language, it doesn’t have any big international stars and there aren’t explosions and special effects. It’s not typical of the summer blog busters from Hollywood, and maybe because of this; it’s proof of it to be quite popular, with the critics and the public. Mark Kemode is one of the BBC films reviews and he isn’t a football fan, but he did like the film. It is what he said about it.
It’s really terrific, number of lovely things about it. The first thing It’s genuinely gentle but in a melancholic and insightful way.
He says it’s terrific, he thinks is really good, and there are some lovely things about it. He comments the film is gentle, which means that it’s an easy film to watch, there are strong and angry conflicts. He also says it has a melancholy film, it’s lately sad, and it’s also insightful. Insightful is chooses a good understanding of the situation. He also says even he isn’t a football fan, he still enjoy the film, in fact he says he doesn’t get football. He doesn’t get it. This means that he doesn’t understand it; he doesn’t know why it’s so popular or makes people feel the way they do. Does watching this film happen to understand this at all? It’s Mark Kemode again. The reason I like it is somebody, who genuine it hasn’t had interest in football, doesn’t get football I never got it; I never got it. I never got the kind the national enthusiastic for it; I never go why is the people so exciting watching offside, and actually I felt that I understood at least a little bit more; what that was about, because he does brilliantly; as a the director is to show you that sense of wanted to be part of this part of collecting event, which is I ( ) so good.
So yes, he said that watching the film, help to understand what is liked to be a football fan. What is like to want to be involved in a group event, which is described as a ( ) for good.
Hi María,
here is the rest of the listening, may be this afternoon after going the swimming pool or perhaps tomorrow; I'll send you the answers and my mistakes, because the listening had been very hard, and many parts of it I had to listen second by second.

There were the views of the critic, the review are, but what about others who are seen the film for the own entertainment, what do they think. Here there are a few opinions; how to people describe the film and the reaction to it:
I think is one of the best films I’ve seen in ages; I really, really enjoy it.
Oh I really enjoy it, I thought it’s funny, endearing and it made a really serious points.
I thought the film was excellent, I like Iranian films and this particular film was a quite heavy subject, but there were funny bits, and so even your might; oh you know this is very difficult subject to talk about it in the film, it approached in a very light high; it’s in a very gentle way.
Very positive view that. The first speaker commented that it was the best film, it’s seen in ages; the best film in a long time. It was also described as funny and endearing. Endearing means charming and very likeable; and this view is accord by the third speaker who commented that even although a heavy subject and serious and difficult topic; it was stand in a light high it and gentle way. Light high it is useful adjective to describe films which are funny. That’s all for this edition of entertainment; before we go some final recommendations for the film Offside. Our recommendations it’s absolutely anybody. Yes a good recommend this film is short, and don’t have to be a football fan to enjoy it; and if you like watching films from different countries, around the world. It’s a really good film starts with. Our recommendation this films to everybody specially this time when the football fans are going all around the world having a great time.
