【听听测测】Model Test 97

 Watching a movie at home seems to be to be more enjoyable than seeing one at a cinema. Cinemas are usually crowded at the time I can go and there is always someone right behind me who explains the whole movie to his friend. At the cinema, I have to put up with the sound and the smell of popcorn¹ being chewed² all around me while at home I can choose to watch in silence where I can eat and drink whatever I want whenever I want. With no fear of bothering anyone else and no worry about anyone bothering me. Then when one watches a movie at home, there is no worry at all about getting to and from the theater on time. Finally, and this is important to someone who has to watch his expenses, the price of renting a video tape or a CD is a third or less than that of going to a movie.
