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 !”
