1. Your friends take you to a sports match or performance: this is quite special for them, with fairly expensive tickets. The weather is not very good, you are tired, and you find it hard to 'follow' (= understand, make sense of) a lot of the event, however hard you try. The event itself also seems to be very long.
On the way home, your friends are keen to hear what you thought of the event. What do you say?
