READING:

We are all good friends but we have different likes. I

prefer romantic movies more than an action.  Tom prefers Sci-
Fi more than a comedy.  Leigh prefers horror than a love story.
Carl  prefers  historical  movies  than  thriller  and  Su-Jin  prefers
true-to-life  movies  more  than  fiction.    We  may  have  different
taste in movies but we love watching.

We also have different dislikes when we are watching

movies.  Su-Jin doesn't like to eat
Carl  doesn't  like  to  talk.    Leigh  doesn't  like  sleep  until  the
movie is finish.  Tom doesn't like to hear any noise and I don't
like  to  move.    We  dislike  these  things  because  we  don't  want
to miss anything in the movie we are watching.
