Last week, I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. However, I
did not enjoy it because a young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were
talking loudly, and I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round and looked at the
man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I
turned round again and said angrily, "I can't hear a word!"
"It's none of your business," the young man said rudely. "This is a private conversation!"
Private conversation? How could they have a private conversation in a public place like the
theatre? It was so impolite and selfish of them. They should have realized that their loud talking
would disturb other people who came to watch the play.
I felt very frustrated and disappointed. I had paid a lot of money for this ticket, and I wanted to
enjoy the play. But their loud talking ruined my experience. I couldn't concentrate on the story or
the actors' performances. All I could hear was their non-stop chatter.
I tried to ignore them and focus on the play. But it was impossible. Their voices were too loud and
annoying. I even thought about getting up and leaving the theatre. But I didn't want to give them
the satisfaction of seeing that they had driven me away.
So, I decided to confront them once again. I turned around and looked at them with anger in my
eyes. "Excuse me," I said firmly, "but could you please keep your voice down? You are disturbing
other people."
The young man looked at me with surprise and then sneered, "What are you going to do about
it?"
I took a deep breath and replied, "I am going to ask you politely to stop talking. If you don't, I will
have to call the theatre staff and ask them to intervene."
The young woman looked embarrassed and whispered something to her companion. He
shrugged and said, "Okay, okay. We'll be quiet."
I breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, I could hear the actors' voices clearly. I could enjoy the play
without any distractions.
But as soon as the young man and woman started talking again, my frustration returned. They
were still talking loudly, but now they were whispering. It was even more annoying than before!
I turned around once again and said, "Please stop whispering as well. It's just as distracting as
talking loudly."
The young man glared at me and muttered something under his breath. The young woman gave
me an apologetic smile and nodded in agreement.
Finally, they stopped talking altogether. I could hear the play clearly and enjoy it without any
disturbances. When the play ended, I left the theatre feeling relieved and satisfied that I had
stood up for myself and asked them to be considerate of others.
In conclusion, it is important to be aware of our surroundings and respect other people's right to
enjoy public spaces peacefully. Loud talking or whispering in a theatre or any other public place is
impolite and selfish. We should always try to be considerate of others and avoid causing any
unnecessary disturbances.
