In this post, I am going to help you understand the trailer for the movie Iron Man. The Iron Man movies have been quite popular worldwide, and many of my students have told me that they enjoy watching them.
As an English teacher, one of my main jobs is to provide you with interesting comprehensible input. That is, interesting material in English that may be just a little above your current level, so that you can begin to acquire more language, without stressing yourself out.
Often times, intermediate students can understand normal spoken English (which is usually pretty fast), if they have access to the transcript.
Here is the transcript of the various words that are spoken in this short movie trailer.
If you have any questions, post them in the comments section below. Enjoy!
