    This article uses classic dialogues from 'Inception' to help learners improve English listening and vocabulary comprehension in real contexts, while mastering natural expressions used in daily situations such as social interactions, work, and travel.

    Learning English requires not only mastering grammar and vocabulary but, more importantly, being able to use it naturally in real situations. However, textbook sentences are often too formal and differ greatly from expressions used in daily life. To speak authentic, natural English, you need exposure to real-context conversations. Here, we have selected frequently used English expressions covering social, work, and travel scenarios to help you move beyond "textbook English" and learn how native speakers actually communicate. Below is the content of this session 'Learn English Through Movies - Inception CD1 10'. Consistent practice will make your English more practical and life-like!

    There's something special in the team for me, Mr. Sighton. I'm not smelling settlement here. Take him down, Mr. Browning. Maris Fish's policy is always on a bevoiding litigation. Fine. Shall we wash your concerns with Maurice Di Breckley? I'm sure that's necessary. No, no, no, I think we should. I don't want to bother him unnecessarily, but... Er, I'll tell you. He got out of the town. What? I'm doing good. What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? Must be a church memory of his. I put it aside as bad. He hasn't even noticed. Robert. We need to talk about a power of attorney. I know this is our idea, but it's imperative that we start to. The vultures are circling. The desiccum Maurice Fisher becomes the more powerful Peter Browning becomes.

    And had ample opportunity to observe Browning. Adopt his physical presence, study his mannerisms, and so on and so forth. So now in the first layer of the dream I can impersonate Browning and suggest concepts to fish his conscious mind. Then when we take him a level deeper his own projection of Browning should, should feed that right back to him. So he gives himself the idea? Precisely. As the only way we'll stay, he has to seem self-generated. Eames. I am impressed. Your condescension, as always, is much appreciated on the thank you. Will you go under on your own? No, it's just running some experiments. I didn't realize anyone was here. Yeah, I was working on my photo, actually. Here, take a look. So you're learning, huh? An elegant solution for keeping track of reality. Was it your idea? No, it was, um, smalls, actually. This one was hers. She'd spin in the dreamer would never come. Just spin and spin. Arthur told me she passed away.

    How the maze is coming along? Each level relates to the part of the subject subconscious that we are trying to access. So making the bottom level hospital so Fisher will bring his father. You know, I have a question about this layout. No, no, no, don't. Show me specifics. Only the dreamer should know the layout. Why is that so important? In case one of us brings in our projections, we don't want them knowing the details of the maze. You mean, in case you bring Maulam. You can't keep her out, can you? Right. I feel because if you know the maze, then she knows it. She'd sabotage the whole operation. Cobb, do the others know? No, well they don't. You've got to warn them if this is getting worse. No one said it's getting worse. I need to get home. That's all I care about right now. Why can't you go home? Because they think I killed her. Thank you. For what? For not asking whether I did.

    I will split up my father's empire. Now this is obviously an idea that Robert himself would choose to reject. Which is why we need to plan to deepen his subconscious. The subconscious is motivated by emotion, right? Not reason. We need to find a way to translate a business strategy into an emotion. That's what we're here to figure out, right? Robert's relationship with his father is stressed to say the least. What can we remember that? It could suggest that he's breaking up his father's company as a screw you to the old man. No, because I think positive emotion from a negative emotion every time. We all...
