Jenny: Hey Bob, have you seen the sci-fi film that everyone’s been talking about
Bob: Yeah, it’s great! The Beasts from Mars!
Jenny: I just saw it last night. It is enjoyable except that those aliens are really frightening. They aren’t like us at all! They are more like huge fire-breathing bears!
Bob: I know! They look really strange and they aren’t intelligent at all. I’d hate to meet aliens like that. I don’t know why those scientists bring them to the Earth.
Jenny: Right, they just want to destroy everything, don’t they When they see something like a car or a house, they just breathe on it until it is a ball of fire.
Tapescript
Bob: Yes, it’s quite scary. Do you think aliens like that really exist on other planets in outer space
Jenny: Well, I’m not sure about aliens like that, but I guess it’s possible that there’s life on other planets. What do you think
Bob: I think there must be life somewhere. I hope they are friendlier than the beasts from Mars, though. I’ve read a book called Strangers from Space recently about aliens who come to the Earth to save us. They look like big jellyfish but they are much more intelligent than us.
Jenny: Oh, really How do we manage to understand them
Tapescript
Bob: That is what half of the book is about. The aliens don’t speak; they just draw pictures. People from all over the world work together to translate their language and find out their message.
Jenny: I see. So they are warning us of some danger
Bob: Exactly. Another group of aliens are coming here to take over the Earth. With the help of these strange jellyfish, we manage to fight them off!
Jenny: That sounds exciting. I’ll have to check it out!
