Lesson 1 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
’ Notes on the text 课文注释 1 go to the theatre,去看戏

3 turn round,转身,也可用 turn around
4 pay attention,注意
