Enjoying a Movie
Read about a typical visit to the movie theater.
When you decide to see a movie, you first visit the box office to purchase a ticket. Before heading to your seat, you might stop by the concession stand to buy popcorn and a cold drink.
Next, you hand your ticket to the usher who directs you to the correct auditorium. You walk down the aisle and find your designated row so you can comfortably take your seat in the dark.
Before the feature presentation begins, you will watch a few trailers for upcoming films. Whether you are watching a huge action blockbuster or a quiet international drama, be sure to read the subtitles if the dialogue is in a foreign language. Enjoy the show!
