Реферат: At the Cinema

John is standing in front of the cinema. He is waiting for his friend Betsy. He’s looking at the watch because she’s late. An old man’s coming out of the cinema. A young woman is going into the cinema. A middle-aged woman’s buying a ticket from the cashier. A boy is running up the steps. Some people arе queueing behind the cinema.

Now John’s in the cinema with Betsy. He is sitting between Betsy and a man with a moustache. A woman is sitting in front of him. She’s wearing an incredibly big hat. John can’t see anything on the screen. A tall man’s sitting behind John. He is smoking a cigarette. Betty’s angry because the smoke’s getting in her eyes. But there is a non-smoking sign on the wall.

This is a scene from the film. In this scene a beautiful young blonde is lying across the lines. She’s shouting “Help!” because the train is coming along the lines. It’s very near.

The actress’s name is Diana Rich. She’s from New York. Diana is very wealthy. She’s got a mansion in Hollywood with a swimming pool and tennis court. She has also a lot of money in the bank. She has a good job. She’s very popular with the public. Life’s great!
