Jerry decided to buy a gun. (Story)
Jerry Baldwin was 30 years old. He was the manager of a pizza restaurant. He lived in an apartment about one-mile north of the restaurant. He walked to and from work. When it was raining, he took the bus.
Jerry loved gangster movies. When a new one came out, he would go to the theater and watch the new movie three or four times. Then, when it went to video, Jerry would buy the video at Barney’s Video Store. Jerry had a home collection of over 1,000 gangster videos. Old ones, new ones, color, black and white, English, Spanish, Japanese–he loved them all. He could tell you the name of the movie, the director, the stars, and the plot. Did you say you liked “Pulp Fiction”? Well, Jerry would rattle off all the details of that movie. And then he would invite you to his place to watch it some time. He was a nice guy.

Jerry finally decided that he would like to own a gun, just like the gangsters. So he saved his money for a couple of years. Then he went to a gun store and bought a used .38 caliber revolver for $300. While there, he also bought a couple of boxes of ammunition.
The following Saturday morning, he went to the gun club to practice with his new revolver. He was in the club for only 10 minutes when he accidentally dropped his pistol. The gun went off, and the bullet went into Jerry’s right knee.
Jerry now walks with a limp and a cane, just like some gangsters.

Assignment 3:

Soundtracks

I will choose five songs from different gangster films. They should all be different genres of music and should not be well-known songs.

I’ll tell the students that I’m going to play them some songs from films and while listening to each one they should imagine the type of film it’s from and write down exactly what they imagine to be happening in the scene. I’ll stop after each extract and give them two minutes to explain their ideas to their partner. In the end of the task I’ll show the original scenes.

Practice speaking:

Build with your partner a dialogue about movies:

  1. The dialogue should have 10 sentences at least.

  2. You can talk about your favorite movies or the movies that you both have seen etc.
