I felt very sad not to be able to get the
ticket to the film Titanic last Friday. I learned in the newspaper that tickets
could be bought at the cinema box office in Richland Hills every day between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Because I work from 9:00 a.m.to 5:30 p.m., the only time I could
go to the cinema was during my 45-minute lunch time. It is a pity that the
cinema is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office
and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the
round(往返)trip in 45 minutes.
Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for
fifteen minutes, waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one coming around the
corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip-so I had to go back to
the office. The same thing happened on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed, I
got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I
got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say
he had been waiting in line for fifty-five minutes. I found that I would not
have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across
the town.
Then on Friday I understood my only hope
was to make the trip by car. It was not cheap, but I felt it would be worthwhile
to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like one
hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly
found out that it was because they had already sold out all the tickets.
