Unseen Passage for Class 8 - Passage 03
Posted by Olympiad Tester on
My class is going on a special trip to the cinema next week. Before we go, we have to make sure our parents sign the permission slips. We also need to ask our parents if they can drive us to the movie theater. The movie we are going to watch is based on a book we read. It's always exciting when books are turned into movies because we can compare them. Personally, I usually prefer the book over the movie because it allows me to imagine the characters in my own way.
On the day of the trip, we arrive at the cinema early so that we can buy some popcorn. Some of us also like to get candy and slushes. We all have a great time watching the movie. When we return to school, we discuss the things that were in both the movie and the book. Although the movie and the book have similarities, we all agree that we like the book better. Books give us the freedom to imagine the characters however we want.
