IELTS Speaking Part 2: 'film' answer

Here's my sample answer:

• I’m going to talk about a film that I’d like to see when it comes out later this year. It’s the new James Bond film, and I saw in the news that it’s going to be called ‘Spectre’. I think ‘Spectre’ refers to the name of the imaginary criminal organisation that James Bond has to defeat in the film.
• As ‘Spectre’ hasn’t been released yet, I don’t know exactly what it will be about. But I can guess that the hero, Bond, is going to be on a mission to save the world from an arch-criminal as usual. I’m sure it will be similar to most of the previous Bond films, with a plot line involving lots of twists and turns, and with Bond using his skills to defeat his nemesis in the end.
• I first heard about this film when I was watching the news a couple of months ago, and since then I’ve seen the official trailer on TV. There have also been various articles in newspapers discussing the actors who have been cast to play supporting roles in the film. The James Bond films are always big news here in the UK, probably because Bond himself is an English character.
• I’d like to see ‘Spectre’ at the cinema because I’m sure it will be full of action scenes and special effects, and I like the fact that Bond’s missions always take place in spectacular locations in different parts of the world. Of course Bond films are totally unrealistic, you could even say ridiculous. But they're always fast, entertaining and fun, a bit like a roller-coaster ride!

Dear Simon,

Please could I ask why you say 'in newspapers' , but not 'in the newspapers'? For me, there is only a limited number of newspapers available to the public. Or is it the same type of phrases like on TV, in which 'the' is not required?

Thank you

[Jing]

Sorry, I mean a limited number of types of newspapers such as 'Times', 'The Sun', 'Independence'.

[Simon]

Hi Jing,

You could also use "in the newspapers" and it would be almost the same. As you said, the word "the" just makes the idea a bit more specific i.e. a specific group of newspapers, such as the most well-known papers here in the UK.

Hii Simon
M preparing for ielts exam I wanna ask u that is it necessary to use more and more vocabs in writing or speaking task??

[Ha Vu]

Dear Simon,
Is it true that while speaking we should use as much redundant language and uncommon vocabulary as possible? Because I could reduce the amount of information in my speech a lot if I focus on those lengthy structure like "Well to be quite honest, in general I would say that I'm quite keen on..., but in particular I would probably have to say that I'm really into...you know, things like... I guess the reason why I'm a fan of... is because I adore ... In addition to this I suppose I'm also pretty passionate about..., especially... and things like that, and this is due to the fact that..." (assume that I'm trying to describe something that I like).
I look forward to hearing your response soon!
