VI. The following passage contains 11 errors. Find and correct them.
I d?n't like the cinema very many, but my friends all love it, and so I often find mineself sitting in the dark trying to follow the conversation on the screen while sweet papers and crisp packets are being opened enthusiasm all around me.
It is thts sort of annoying disturbance at the cinema which means that I'd prefer hiring a video and watch it at home. Then there is no risk of getting cross because it's unable to hear what is going on. Another problem is that I always make my best t� find a seat with a good view of the screen during the advertisements. Then, two minutes before the main film is due to begin, the sit in front of me will be taken by a heavyweight boxer which blocks out most of the screen and, by this time, it's too lately to move. I know this isn't really the point. Cinema fans talk about the extra pleasant of an experience shared with others. I must admit there's often a very good atmosphere in the cinema, and I'm probably too sensitive to this things: it only takes one person making stupid comments to spoil the whole occasion. On balance, I think I'll stick to my video!
