I am going to watch a movie at the cinema. It's my favourite movie

When I enter the cinema hall, it would be dark. An adult can help me find my seat

These seats can go back..hmm

I will sit in my seat and watch the movie quietly. If it's loud, I can wear my headphones

If  I'm uncomfortable, I can tell an adult, and we can take a break

I can have eat some snacks too

When the movie ends, I will wait until it’s time to leave the cinema hall

Watching a movie can be fun, and I can try my best to enjoy it

I had so much fun
