Academy Awards
Janice: Did you see the
Academy Awards program last night on TV?
Rob: I watched for awhile; then I had to
go to bed.
Janice: You missed a good show. I didn’t
agree with the selection for best picture, though.
Rob: I guess I missed that part. What
happened?
Janice: Oh, they chose some picture that
was so avant garde that no one understands it.
Rob: Well, I don’t go to the movies very
often. You know me. I prefer more active type things.
Janice: Too bad. I really wanted to
discuss it with someone. |
