I’m Adam and I live in California. I think the best movie theater in California is the ArcLight, because it has the best environment and service. It opened on March 22, 2002.
I still remember the first time I went there. The building was tall and beautiful. After I got in, I saw some workers walking on the floor to show the way to people. And it was very quiet. The workers there were friendly and helpful.
The screen was big and the seats were soft. I found my row easily. Before the movie started, people talked a lot. But when it started, they were all quiet. People couldn’t come into the room after the movie was on for 15 minutes. Of course this could be a little annoying (使人气恼的) for some of those late birds, but no one liked to be disturbed (被打扰) by late arrivals. I enjoyed the wonderful sound of the movie a lot.
It’s really a good place and I still love watching movies there now.

范文：
Last week we did a survey about three restaurants near our school. And here are the results.
Red Star Restaurant is the oldest and the cheapest one. Also, it is the most popular one. As for Sanjin Restaurant, it’s the biggest one, but it is the least popular one and also the farthest to school. Though the food isn’t the cheapest and it has the longest waiting time, it has the best service. Shunlin Noodles Restaurant is the newest of the three. It has the shortest waiting time and it’s the closest to school. Though it is the most expensive, most students like to go there.
I’m glad that there are so many restaurants near our school.
名师点评：本文运用了“三步比较法”来比较三家饭店。第一步点明主题(第一段)。第二步分类比较(第二段), 条理清晰, 语句通顺。第三步总结陈述(最后一段)。
