Movies

文/Lin Lougheed

The Screen Movie House is a new entertainment option in the downtown area. The Sliver Screen is not your typical movie house. It combines a movie theather with a coffeehouse, so that patrons can relax with coffee and snacks while they enjoy the show. In addition to a menu of delicious homemade sandwiches and tempting pastries, the Sliver Screen offers a range  of movies to suit all tastes. Everything from comedy to drama to action is on their schedule. Prices are reasonable, and frequent customers can take advantage of the ticket special. A booklet of five tickets for the price of four is available, or individual tickets can be bought separately for each show. The place tends to fill up for the evening show, but if you like quiet, you can stay later. The crowds disperse when the last movie is over, but the caf'e stays open until 1:00A.M., so night owls can enjoy a quiet cup of coffee into the wee hours. We predict that the Silver Screen will soon attain the status of one of the most popular entertainment venues in the city.

[Email] Play

文/Lin Lougheed

HI Ted,

I just saw that play that opened recently at the City Theater. You really ought to see it, too. I know you would enjoy the experience. The play combines elements from both comedy and drama, so it's funny, but it also has an important message. Some people say this  play is boring  because there isn't a lot of action, but I think the dialouge is very creative. The actors say some really funny lines. The whole performance is superb; you can tell that the actors rehearsed a long time before the play opened. You should call the theater today to get a ticken because they will probalbly sell out soon. Let me know how you like the play.

1.element
Synonym-- constituent
Definition-- a necessary part of something

2.rehearse

My sentence-- The actors rehearsed the new play over and over again.

available VS  eligibile

eligible>>合適的、合意的
available>>可用的、可利用的、有空的、可與之聯繫的

eligible or available 都可以引申為單身的...

Example

eligible man
單身的人/合適的人
She is beautiful and abailable.
她很漂亮而且單身

(大部分單字用途很廣,可看上下文可猜出語意)
