LISTENING TEXT

The first time I went to the show, I was very much excited. There were so many people, so many bright lights. When we
entered the show, I was frightened by the darkness and large figures on the screen. It seems to me that I saw a train. It was
coming right at me. I thought it would surely run over me. I remember having screamed. I don’t remember anything else.
