MOVIES IN FUTURE-ANSWER

Movies in future

Nowadays 2D movies are popular (we largely, run 2D movies).  I mean, movies having length and width but bereft of depth. But as you know, in (next to) no time technology    got   developed into 3D movies complete with depth where the characters do not get stuck to a screen alone. They  on the other hand , pop out of the screen! Such movies are gaining headway/ momentum to the extent that they would eventually outdo the traditional two-dimensional movies.

But more importantly, the real catch word / buzz word of the next generation would be    4D movies. (Chances are that 4D movies would steal the show/steal the limelight.).

They would give you more exciting realistic view (transport you to a wonder world of virtual reality) complete with chair effect and hall effect.

With regards to chair effect, you may feel the vibration of a train as you watch it. Similarly, as you watch a war scene or an earth quake scene your chair might sway you from side to side/backward or forward or may get tilted.

Hall Effect might tickle your fancy. I mean, if somebody shoots water from the screen, it would hit you right on your face or plume/thin layer/of smoke might billow out from the screen to the hall! You might experience a flash of lightening just out there very close to you and tears would well up in your ears as an actress chops an onion on the screen. But as of now such movies are     at the experimental stage, available only at certain shopping malls and amusement parks specially designed for them.

Answer

Normally, I get up by quarter past 5 but yesterday as my IELTS examinations were close at hand/around the  corner I woke up nearly an hour early and got ready for my preparations. Till noon I strained every nerve to get mastery over the language/proficiency in English.    

Well, with regards to my studies, as far as I am concerned, `Reading’ modules is literally a tough nut to crack. Consequently, I got heavily involved in that module. I mean, I did the same reading two times, wrote an essay. Then, my brother conducted a speaking mock test for me. That is how I spent my time till noon.

Well, afternoon, in order to unwind myself/to calm myself down/calm my nerve/ chill out/I watched a matinee along with  my..(name of people) …..at … (name of the theater) located quite close to my home. I mean, hardly a kilometer away. It was an action- packed entertainer titled `(name of the movie)’ with..(name of the hero).. in the lead. I am a big/great fan of.. ( name of the hero)..and invariably watch all his movies. So not to mention, I enjoyed every bit of it.

 On reaching home back I hurriedly completed my domestic chores and continued my intensive test preparations. After night prayers and supper that followed I spent a couple of hours quality time with my children. Then, retired pretty early as I needed a sound sleep prior to this test day. That  is how I spent my time yesterday.
