The Cinema in England

When people go to the cinema in England, they usually say that they go to watch movies. Cinemas start showing films in the afternoon. There is usually one main film, a shorter film, a news report, and sometimes a trailer for a new film coming next week.

Many cinemas in small English towns have closed because people like to stay at home and watch TV. But in the cities, cinemas are often full. Ticket prices in London are higher than in other parts of the country.

Cinemas in England are usually larger and more comfortable than theaters. Many cinemas have a café or restaurant, so people can spend a pleasant afternoon and evening there. Sometimes they also have concerts in the building. In some towns, cinemas are not open on Sundays.

Dick and Bob, two English schoolboys, enjoy films about countries very different from their own. When they were younger, they liked western films. Now they do not enjoy these films so much because they find them less interesting.

This evening, the boys watched a film based on one of Shakespeare’s plays. It was interesting to see how the film was different from the play. The film was very good, but the boys thought that seeing the play in the theater was even better.
