【英语4级听力】汽车影院-Drive-In Theatre

Helen had nothing to do one Saturday night. "Let's go to a Drive-In theatre," said Donna. Helen had no idea what that was. Donna told her she would love it. Helen agreed to go.

 

Drive-In theatres play movies outdoors. People park their cars in front of a giant screen. They each get a pair of speakers. Everyone watches the movie from their cars. Helen had seen many of them in old movies. "This is where people used to go on dates," she said. She had no idea they still existed. The girls watched a horror¹ movie. It was scarier² than watching it in a room with a bunch³ of people. "They should bring these back," said Donna.
