One summer night, on my way home from work I decided to see a movie. I knew the theatre would be air-conditioned and I couldn't face my【21】apartment. Sitting in the theatre I had to look through the【22】between the two tall heads in front of me. I had to keep changing the angle every time she leaned over to talk to him,【23】he leaned over to kiss her. Why do Americans display such affection in public places? I thought the movie would be good for my English, but【24】it turned out, it was an Italian movie.【25】about an hour, I decided to give up the movie and【26】on my popcorn(爆玉米花). I've never understood why they give popcorn! It tasted pretty good,【27】. After a while I heard【28】more of the romantic-sounding Italians. I just heard the sound of the popcorn crunching (咀嚼) between my teeth. My thought started to【29】. I remembered when I was in South Korea (韩国), I【30】to watch Kojak on TV frequently. He spoke perfect Korean—I was really amazed. He seemed like a good friend to me,【31】I saw him again in New York speaking perfect English instead of perfect Korean. He didn't even have a Korean accent and I【32】like I had been betrayed.

Everyone agreed, but our house became very【34】and we all seemed to avoid each other. We sat at the dinner table in silence, preferring that to speaking in a difficult language. Mother tried to say something in English but it【35】out all wrong and we all burst into laughter and decided to forget it! We've been speaking Korean at home ever since. (36)
