Вариант 2

Now we are ready to start.

John: Hi, Kate! How are you?

Kate: Hello, John! I'm great, thanks. What about you?

John: I'm fine, thank you. Where are you going?

Kate: I've been to the cinema and I'm going home now.

John: I thought there was nothing interesting on.

Kate: You were mistaken. I've just watched a new blockbuster. It's really gripping. I like watching new films at the cinema.

John: I prefer watching films at home on my big flat-screen TV. It's a lot more comfortable. I can stop watching when I want to, take a break, and then return to the film.

Kate: I see what you mean, John. But I still think it's more fun to go to the cinema. I like modern cinemas with comfortable armchairs, good conditioning, excellent sound and film projection equipment. I prefer watching films on the wide screen.

John: My TV screen is wide enough for me. Besides, when you watch films at home, you don't have to bother about buying tickets. I hate queues, you know.

Kate: Queues? Are you joking? I buy my cinema tickets online. It's very easy.

John: I don't need tickets at all. I just choose a film I want, pay a small sum of money for it or even get it free, and watch it!

Kate: Cinema tickets in most places aren't expensive either. I believe what you miss at home is the atmosphere of a cinema house with the buzz of people's voices and the smell of popcorn and coffee in the foyer.

John: Oh, yes, but how about the sounds of mobile phones in the middle of the film or somebody laughing when everybody feels like crying? Don't you think that some people's behaviour can be really stupid?

Kate: Yes, it happens. But I never allow such things to make me unhappy. And you know what? I always go to the cinema with my family or friends. That doubles the pleasure of film watching. We can hold hands when the scene is especially horrifying or laugh together when the scene is funny. It's great!

John: All right, all right... You've nearly made me change my mind.
