pictures.

is on at one of the cinemas tonight. I’ve heard it is one of the best pictures
of the year.
Kate: My sister and I have already seen it. We enjoyed it very much.
Dick: The Star may have a good programme. They are showing two main pictures,
a French film and an American. I hope you haven’t seen them.
Kate: I haven’t seen either of them.
Dick: Do you think we shall be able to buy tickets? Shall we buy balcony seats if
we can get them?
Kate: Please, don’t. I do not enjoy seeing film from the balcony. It is so far from
the screen. It strains my eyes to see a picture from such a distance.
Dick: The picture starts in fifteen minutes. Let’s go.
( After the film)
Kate: I certainly enjoyed both pictures. In the French film the actors spoke English
with a slight French accent. The French villages shown were very picturesque.
The acting was faultless, but I think the plot was a little weak.
Dick: I am so glad that you enjoyed both pictures. I think the American plot was
very clever. The diction, too, was excellent.
Kate: I always like the newsreel. It brings world events in vivid form and leaves a
lasting memory.

with you in the near future.
Kate: So do I. Thank you for a pleasant evening. Good night, Dick.
