9 8.3.2.1 Work in groups of three. Two of you act out a short dialogue about what jobs you want to do when you're older. The third reports the dialogue to another group.
- Mary, would you like to go to the cinema tonight to see a new adventure film ? - I'd love to. What about the tickets? - Don't worry. I live near the cinema and I'll buy the ticket at the box-office half an hour before the film begins. - Are you sure that there will be vacant seats at the cinema? - Absolutely! The film has had a long run for about a week. So I don't have to book them in advance. Where do you prefer to sit in the cinema? - In the tenth row in the middle. - OK. I'll do my best. Bye! See you at half past seven outside the cinema.
Some hours later at the box-office.
- Have you got tickets for tonight's film? - Yes. What seats would you like? - Two seats somewhere in the middle of Row Ten. - We've got seats in the middle of Row Nine. - They will do nicely. How much do I pay? - Sixteen dollars. - Here you are. Thanks a lot.
