Last weekend， I went to the cinema to watch Journey to the West with my friends. We hoped to enjoy us there. However， some of the people there makes me feel very happy.

When we arrived there， the movie had on for ten minutes. We found our seats quick and sat down. What’s worse， a few guys were talking loudly or even shouting when they saw some excited pictures.

I think we should follow the rules in the public to make public places more comfortable.
