St. Book p.93 Ex 8. Writing (short version) 4 Info "B"

I realised that the story I wrote was longer than 200-250 words, so I made a shorter version:

Annie used to watch “Friends” everyday at 8:00 PM in her youth. That used to cause problems in her life. For example, one day her family had dinner early: she didn’t go to eat that day, it was Ross’ second wedding!
The day her little brother, Lucas, was born, was a complete disaster: she was nine, Monica and Chandler where getting married, and she would not miss it for anything in the world. She cried, and yelled, but it was useless, they couldn’t leave her alone. At the end, she saw it in the hospital T.V. I remember seeing her tears. I’m sure they were of happiness, but I’m not sure if they were because of Lucas, or because of Chandler, that was getting married.
With the invention and use of the Internet, and of the series’ illegal downloads, Annie got very happy: she could see the chapters the same day they were released in USA! Everyday she dashed into her computer to check if there was a new chapter and grinned if that happened!
Anyway, she finally grew up and stopped watching the sitcom.
One day, she was walking down the street with her friends, when she saw a poster. It said: “Friends: The Movie. soon in Cinemax”
The sitcom had ended years ago, on her 12-year-old birthday. She was sixteen when she saw the poster, but she promised herself she would watch it, and she did.

When she walked out of the cinema, she was really struck: it had been SO boring! She couldn’t believe this was her favourite sitcom when she was little.
One of her friends that had been to the movies with her thought : “How much the people can change when they grow up.”
A sequel was announced, with the same characters, but Annie never saw it. That day was the last time she ever saw them.
