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!'
