Jack: Hi, Ismael. How are you?
Ismael: Hi, Jack. I'm OK but I’ve got loads of homework.
Jack: Me too, but would you like to come with us to the cinema tonight?
Ismael: Who's 'us'?
Jack: Me, Jamie, Nicola and Selina.
Ismael: OK, and what's the film?
Jack: We don't know. We can't decide. There's that new horror film, 'Light and Dark'.
Ismael: No, no, no! I don't like horror films.
Jack: OK, well, there's a comedy about a school.
Ismael: Oh, no more school, please! What about a romcom?
Jack: Romcom?
Ismael: You know, romantic comedy, boy meets girl ...
Jack: What? Really? No, I hate romantic films. I like action.
Ismael: Well, there's a new science fiction film, 'Alien attacks'.
Jack: OK, I like science fiction. Let's see that.
Ismael: OK, I'll ask the others if they like sci-fi.
Jack: What time is the film?
Ismael: At 8 o'clock. Let’s meet at 7:30 outside the cinema.
Jack: OK. See you later.
Ismael: Bye.

Hi shamin,
Good question - that's an interesting thing to notice! We can use that to refer to a thing that has been previously mentioned, or that both the speaker and listener already know about. For example:
Do remember that boy from the garden centre? (= The boy we both met.)
Did you go to that party in the end? (= The party you told me about.)
Have you got that book for our history project? (= The book we talked about.)
Jack uses that here because he expects the other two to have heard of the film.
There's that new horror film ...
Does that make sense? Best wishes, Joanna (LearnEnglish Teens team)

I like the Korean romantic love tinkle as the heirs, playful kiss and you who came from the star.
Wow, you seem to be very fond of watching Korean films. I know " the heirs" , it is a lovely love story and so is " you came from the star". Both of them used to be fevers in some territories of Asia ( including my country). Nobody can deny that Korean actors and actresses have good appearances and their feelings are so real.
Hmm… I don't know much about Korean films. All I know is that, as you say giang, Korean actors and actresses have post-plastic surgery appearances! Also, Korean films are famous for making actors and actresses cry so often! I hear Korean show business people have a lot of troubles and stresses…… wow…...
yes, you're right. It's not easy to become a star in Korea and most Korean actors and actresses have post-plastic surgery appearances, but good appearance is a advantage ! Korean actresses looks lovely and sometimes I think they should be more mature! Anyway, Korean films is very common in Vietnam because Korean and Vietnamese culture are quite similar.
