The film I saw last

A: Hello, Mark.

A: Yes, I spent a great time there.

B: Where did you go?

A: I went to the Luch cinema.

B: What was on?

A: There was a cartoon and three feature films: a detective film, a love story, and a thriller.

B: What did you watch?

A: I saw “Butterfly Effect” - a thriller.

B: Why did you choose it? I know you like cartoons.

A: Yes, I like cartoons but I’ve already seen this one. So I made up my mind to watch feature films.

B: Was it difficult to choose one?

A: Oh, it was quite difficult. First I thought about love story, but I didn’t choose it because the last love story I saw was very boring.

B: Then there was a detective film and a thriller.

A: Yes, and I decided to see a detective film next time.

B: So you saw “Butterfly Effect”. Was the film good?

A: It was a horror film but I liked it. Good actors played in that film and the plot was exciting.

B: I have not seen it. But I’ve heard much about it.

A: So that is why I recommend you to go and to see this film.
