The Red Ticket

Tap a word to translate it and save it for practice.

Dan offers a red cinema ticket to an attendant while his friend May waits beside him.

Dan is at the cinema with his friend May. He has a red ticket in his hand. May shows her ticket to the man at the door.

Then Dan gives the man his ticket.

"Your ticket is for tomorrow," the man says.

Dan looks at the date. "Oh, no!"

May waits with him. They go to the desk together. A woman looks at Dan's ticket and checks her computer.

"There are seats for today," she says. "I can change your ticket."

Dan gets a new ticket. This one is green. He reads the date twice.

"Today!" he says. May laughs, and they go to see the film.
