From a course book. (Original version)
A private Conversation
Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play
was interesting but I didn’t enjoy it.
A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They
were talking loudly. I got very angry! I couldn’t hear the actors. I
turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They
didn’t pay any attention.
In the end, I couldn’t 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 !”
