Professor
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.
Student B
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.

The paramount significance of cinemas' roles in shared viewing experience cannot be overstated, and I concur with Paul that people will definitely desire the cinema in the future. I would like to emphasize that the cinema plays an essential part in helping us to encounter something new. First of all, we can make new friends that share the same interest with us. The cinema gathers a dozen of people aim to enjoy the film, especially in our free time, presenting us a chance to meet numerous people. Consequently, new close friends are made. Secondly, the cinema can instill unexpected valuable knowledge to our mind. Both films and live performance carry the thoughts of their creators, trying to evoke the audiences. In some way, the audiences are able to acquire something new while appreciating the performances. In a nut shell, it is undoubtedly that cinemas won't cease to exist in the future.
