.buying theater tickets 买戏票

　　going to the theater is very popuar and shows are often sold out far in advance. it is a good idea to buy your tickets in advance if you want to see a particular show. it is not necessary to tip the person who shows you to your seat in a theater.

　　人们很喜欢看戏,而且戏票常常是很早就预售一空. 如果你想看某一场演出,最好是提前买票. 没有必要给剧院领座的人付小费.
