What is your favorite movie genre? There are a ton of movies to choose from, right? Some
people prefer one genre, while some prefer another. Let’s have a look at some of the most
popular of them.

Romantic films
Also known as Romantic Comedies, these films usually center around a couple, their
relationship, and problems. This is a great choice to watch with someone special and have a
nice, fun time together.

Westerns
This genre is really old. Their stories always portrait the war between good and evil in a
lawless dessert, the eternal fight of justice against crime.

Documentaries
This film genre is really descriptive. It often portrays real events from history and important
moments from our societies. They can also be about nature, important people, or even art!

18
Action films
These films have a lot of visual effects and really simple stories. People like these films
because they always have explosions and guns, as well as famous artists in the main roles.

Horror films
These movies are dark and scary. They seek to make us feel uncomfortable with impossible
or macabre scenarios straight out from our nightmares. Only recommended for the bravest!

Read to a text about what to do in Maruata, a beach in the state of Michoacan.
Then, answer the questions.

Maruata is an unique place. It’s an eco-touristic town full of tranquility and nature. Let’s
start by saying it has been an independent indigenous community since the XVIth century.
Therefore, it is still a rural beach with a desertic weather and a lot of turtles. Despite the fact
that there are a lot of eco-touristic attractions such as camping and hiking, people don’t
know much about this town.
However, there are two main reasons to visit this beach-town. First, people visit Maruata
to relax because it is such a quiet place for you to rest in a hammock, watching sunsets,
swimming and hiking for hours. Second, from August to December, there are a lot of turtles,
so you can help them to nest their eggs and wait for the baby turtles to hath. As I mentioned,
Maruata is heaven on earth, especially for backpackers, surfers, and hippies.

What are the two main reasons for people to visit Maruata? Mark them.

People visit Maruata…

1. to relax 6. to learn Nahuatl
