The Rooftop Movie Night

Grammar in this story

1 concepts

After a month of preparation, the rooftop committee’s movie night is finally about to begin.

The chairs are arranged, and the popcorn is almost sold out.

Xiao Xu turns on the projector, but the old film everyone chose does not appear on the wall.

On screen is Mrs. Chen planting the rooftop’s first flowerpot ten years ago.

Next appears a recording of the manager repairing the water tower when he was young.

Everyone laughs so loudly that nobody notices the scheduled film is about to begin.

It turns out Xiao Xu brought the wrong drive and is showing clips he filmed for neighbors over the years.

He is about to turn it off, but everyone asks him to continue.

The night is nearly over, while the neighbors on the wall keep growing year by year.

In the end, nobody remembers the old movie.

They have already watched a film only their building could perform.
