Dr. Diaz
This week we looked at how the cinema―the physical building where we watch films―has evolved over the years. Now, I want you to consider this question: with so many internet streaming services available for viewing films at home, do you think cinemas will cease to exist in the future? Will a time come when people stop going to cinemas entirely? Why or why not?
Paul
In my opinion, cinemas are here to stay. For thousands of years, people have been sharing the collective experience of watching a show, whether it was a live performance at a theater in ancient Greece or a recorded film in a cinema in today’s society. And they will continue to want that shared viewing experience.
Claire
I agree that cinemas are becoming obsolete, but I don’t think it’s because of technology. Many of the best films these days are being produced as ten- or twelve-part miniseries, with much more focus on character development. These productions are meant to be watched on television. You don’t need a big screen to enjoy them.

Due to the fact that technology can make people see films in their own houses, I think cinemas will cease to exist in the future. The development of technology allows people to buy cheap and good devices that can provide same experience as watching in the cinemas for people at houses. In the past, people have to spend money to buy tickets and cost lots of time to go to the cinemas to see the films, it will be more difficult for people who live in the countryside. Now, people can see excellent films in their own houses an anytime. It is so convient for people to see movies in their home that no one need to spend money to watch films in cinemas. While Paul has a point that cinemas can provide people for chance to share viewing experience, with the development of technology, people can easily share their instant ideas on the Internet. Therefore, they can have same experience at their own houses as in cinemas. In conclusion, that's why I think cinemas will cease exist in the future and people will stop going to cinemas entirely.

6.文章修订
In light of the technological advancements enabling people to watch films at home, I believe that cinemas will eventually become obsolete. Affordable and high-quality devices are now available, providing a similar experience to that of movie theaters within the comfort of one's home. Previously, individuals had to spend money on tickets and allocate time for traveling to cinemas, posing difficulties for those residing in rural areas. Presently, viewers can enjoy exceptional films at their convenience without leaving their homes.
While Paul argues that cinemas offer a shared viewing experience, advancements in technology allow people to instantly share their thoughts online, thus replicating this collective experience at home. Consequently, I predict that cinemas will cease to exist in the future as people opt for more convenient alternatives. (127 words)
