P: Hi Nick. What happened today? We were waiting for ages and you never showed up!
N: Hi Phuc. Well I wanted to ask you the same question.
P: Why? We planned to meet outside the cinema, didn’t we? We waited and then Mai decided to go in without you. She didn’t want to miss the start of Frozen you know. Did you oversleep or something?
N: No, I was there on time, and it was me who waited for you two.
P: Are you kidding? We didn’t see you there. We tried to call you but couldn’t get through.

N: I couldn’t call you either. My battery was flat.
P: Never mind. We can try again. How about this Sunday afternoon at 2.30 p.m.? There’s Superman 3.
N: Great ..., but I’ll be having my Vietnamese class then. Let’s go for the 4.15 p.m. show. I’ll need to take the bus to Nguyen Du Street and it’s quite far.
P: But it’s not Galaxy Nguyen Du! We’ll be seeing it at Galaxy Nguyen Trai ... Wait ... Which cinema did you go to today?
N: Oh no, I went to Galaxy Nguyen Du. I wish my mobile phone had a better battery!

c. Why couldn’t Phuc, Mai, and Nick see the film together as was their plan? What was the problem? Was it only because of Nick’s mobile phone?
They couldn’t see the film together because Nick went to the wrong cinema. They didn’t communicate clearly the name and address of the cinema beforehand. Then they were not able to contact each other because the battery of Nick’s mobile phone was flat.
