Cinema Dialogue 1

Mother: What were you doing this afternoon, Mary?

Mary: First I went to the hairdresser's to have my hair cut. Then I took my evening shoes to the shoe-maker's. When passing by a cinema-house I saw a poster advertising a new film directed by John Millford. I am fond of. his comedies so I decided to see the film. There were not very many people at the box-office.

Mother: Have you enjoyed the film? What is it about?

Mary: Oh, greatly. It's a very funny comedy about a young man who always finds himself in awkward situations and how he gets out of them.

Mother: Was the cast good? Who was the film starring?

Mary: The leading role was played by a young actor, but I've forgotten his name. As to the cast in general, it was superb. Besides the feature film there was a newsreel and very good animated cartoons on the programme. The tickets for this show were more expensive than usual.

Mother: And where is the film on?

Mary: It's on at many cinema-houses in the center.

Mother: If I have spare time tomorrow afternoon I'll go and see the film too. I haven't been to the cinema for ages.

Mary: A very good idea. I'm sure you will enjoy the film.
