At the Movies“
Dialogue
Linda:
Oh, I liked the movie very much! Did you like it too?
Brian:
I tried to understand it, but I could not!
Linda:
Yes, they used many slang words. The actors were really good though!
Brian:
By the way, I saw your sister, yesterday, after the match.
Linda:
Yes, she was at the match too. She liked it a lot.
Brian:
But afterwards, it started raining! What did you do then?
Linda:
I hurried home. What did you do afterwards?
Brian:
Hahaha....We played darts! Your sister´s boyfriend is very nice!
Linda:
I preferred my sister´s last boyfriend. He was also an actor.
Brian:
The actors´ achievements were really great, but the leading actor’s accent was terrible! Hahaha...
Linda:
You are right. I particularly liked the end of the film, but the seats at the cinema were, however, somewhat uncomfortable.
Brian:
That’s why I already look forward to my own couch. Hahahaha!
Linda:
Yes, it is certainly more comfortable. I already look forward to seeing your place!
Brian:
I’ll pick you up tomorrow from your office!
Linda:
Great! See you tomorrow! Oh, it is raining again.
