Deciding What to Do in the Evening

Charles: Why don’t we go to the cinema? There’s a good fantastic film on. It’s called ‘Star Travellers’. Has anybody seen it?

Judy: Yes, I saw it last Tuesday. I thought it was a horrible film. I couldn’t watch when they killed the people to seize the power.

Charles: Well, what do you like? Love stories where all they do is kiss and cry?

Judy: I like romances and detective films. How about you, Mary?

Mary: Well, in fact, I don’t like films much. I like going to the theater instead. Last week I saw ‘Happy Marriage’. It’s the funniest play I’ve ever seen. I like going to the ballet. And I enjoy opera too.

Charles: I can’t stand opera. I can’t understand it. It’s beyond me.

Judy: I’m fond of modern music. We might go to a concert.

Mary: I don’t feel like listening to pop or rock music.

Charles: Let’s watch a detective film then. There’s an interesting film on. It’s about a man who is a guest at an old castle. When he goes to his bedroom, he finds a dead body in his bed.

Judy: I’ve heard of this film too. They say it’s rather exciting. By the way, there’s a horror film on TV today. It’s based on the novel ‘Dracula’ written by the Irishman Bram Stoker in 1897. It’s the Francis Ford Coppola film.

Mary: I watched it a year ago. I was scared stiff, and my hair stood on end. I didn’t have the nerve to watch the film up to the end.

Charles: Well, ‘Dracula’ remains one of the most powerful creations of terror over conceived. But we still haven’t decided what to do this evening.
