W: Yes, well, um, we've done a survey on local entertainment. Basically, we tried to find out how students feel about the entertainment in the town and how much they use it. So we've called our project "Out and About"... M: Yes, that's a good title! W: We wanted to find out how well students use the entertainment facilities in town... whether they get to see the latest plays, films... that kind of thing. Actually there were a lot of areas to choose from but in the end we limited ourselves to looking at two general categories: cinema and theatre. M: Right. W: OK. Well, first of all the cinema. In the town, there are three main places where you can see films. There's the new multi-screen cinema complex, the old park cinema, and a late-night odeon. In terms of audience size, the multi-screen complex accounts for 75% of all cinema seats, the park cinema accounts for 20% of seats and the late-night odeon has just 5% of seats. M: Yes, as is shown in your chart. W: As you probably know, the complex and the park show all the latest films, while the late-night cinema tends to show cult films. So, when we interviewed the students, we thought the complex would be the most popular choice of cinema... but surprisingly it was the late-night odeon. Most students said that if they wanted to see a film, they waited for it to show at the park because the complex is more expensive and further out of town so you have to pay more to get there as well. M: Yes, and that adds to the cost, of course, and distracts from the popularity, evidently. W: Well, next, we looked at theatres. There's the Stage Theatre in town, which is very old and architecturally quite beautiful. And there's also the large, modem theatre, the Ashtop, that has recently been built. But the thing about the theatres is that there's a whole variety of seat prices. Also, the types of performance vary... so students tend to buy seats at both and like using both for different reasons and if they want cheap seats at the Ashtop, they can just sit further from the front. M: And anything else？ W: Yes. What we did find that was very interesting is that there are periods during the year when students seem to go to the theatre and periods when they go to the cinema and we really think that's to do with the budget. There's a peak around November and December when they go to the theatre more and then a period in April and May when neither is particularly popular and then theatre viewing seems to tail off virtually while the cinema becomes quite popular in June and July. M: Mmm. I think you're probably right about your conclusions... (23) A．The entertainment on campus. B．The entertainment facilities students use in town. C．The kinds of films and plays students enjoy. D．The cinemas and theatres students like to go to.
