Thank you for your question. The most unforgettable picnic could be casted back to my high school years. There was a picnic for my whole class in the national park. I could still recall that picnic experience vividly. The picnic which was in the form of BBQ, was organized by the school. After hiking several miles in the intoxicating park, we arrived at the cooking spot the school had designated along with some vegetables and meat prepared in advance. Actually it made us extremely excited because the school meant to make us have a DIY picnic.

To be honest, everyone was green hand for cooking because we were just high school kids at that time. We were divided into 3 groups and each group had 10 people, then I started my share of the load which was grilling the fish. Thank God, the fish was cut into pieces already. So basically, I just needed to put the fish on the grill and add different seasonings. However, it was not as easy as I thought, I had no clue of time control. Some fish just got burned quickly, it was only after the first trial round that did I learn about the time control.

The other friends were also working on their food. Perhaps after one hour, the grilled food project was finished. It was so funny to look at the grilled meat at different cooking levels. But we were hungry to notice the real flavour of the food. Everyone wolfed down the grilled meat and vegetables without leaving anything remaining. I have to say that even though it may not be as delicious as a meal in the restaurant, we still enjoyed the food very much. After all, we cooked it ourselves which made the flavour memorable.

I think the cinemas will be reopened after the virus. Actually, many films were gradually showed as soon as the virus ended and the cinemas was ready to service. In order to prevent the spread of virus, people must set in the middle of the two empty seats and wear the mask during the watching. Now people can watch movies at home expect the 3D movies. It is not worth to go to the cinema to watch that many young actresses who has no acting. Compared with that, I prefer to pay for stream APP because the payment of one movie ticket like three months membership. Almost TV program could be founded on the internet. I can watch that anytime, anywhere.

Revised

I think the cinemas will be reopened after the virus. Actually, many films were released as the virus got contained, and the cinemas were ready to open. In order to prevent the pandemic, people must sit between two empty seats and wear the mask during the movie. Now people can watch movies at home except for the 3D movies. It is not worth the money and time to go to the cinema to watch that many／ (those)  young actresses on screen who don’t know what they’re doing. As a result, I prefer to pay for stream APP because the payment of one movie ticket is equivalent to three months of membership. Most TV programs could be founded/ watched on the internet/ online. I can watch those anytime, anywhere.
