This evening, Michel and I watched one/an American TV show/series at home which is “Stranger Things”.

This TV show story is about a little boy that disappeared mysteriously in Indiana in the 1980s.

disappearance ( diss – uhh – peer – ince ) / disappeared ( diss – uhh – peerd )

His family, friends and the police/policemen began to struggle to search/look for him. The TV show captured our attention, but I have homework that I need to do, so I can’t continue to watch it. Then I bargained with Michel to stop/pause  the TV show. He refused to bargain at first because he wanted to know what will happen next in the story. But I said, “Before you said you wanted to watch TV together with me.” He agreed to stop/pause it at last and said he was just kidding me. Michel felt so bad because we never watch TV together. I don’t like to watch his TV shows which are scary, and he doesn’t like to watch my TV shows. I don’t like being scared, so he can just watch funny TV shows with me.
