Cinema

By Conchi | Published Monday, May 13, 2013




More people are going to the movies in the UK than they have at any other time in the last 30 years and almost every big town now has a multiplex cinema, showing the latest blockbusters.

But this cinema is a bit special. It's called the Electric and has been around since 1910.

Listen to the text and answer the questions below:

What makes the cinema so unique?

Why was the auditorium designed as if it were for music hall?

What is Adam's favourite British film?

Why does Andrea decide not to spend the evening at the Electric Cinema?
