A PRIVATE CONVERSATION
Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat.
The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A
young man and a young woman were sitting behind
me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could
not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man
and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention.
In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. 'I
can't hear a
word!' I said angrily.
' It's none of your business,' the young man said rudely.
'This is a private conversation!'.
