Lesson 1. A private conversation.

First listen and then answer the question.

Why did the writer complain to the people behind him?

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!'
