Pay attention during certain parts of the film when you are shown something on the screen just to orient the viewer. An establishing shot sets up where the scene is taking place or where the characters are in a scene before it happens. It is sort of like how at the beginning of a novel, the author will describe the scene first before adding the characters (a very common storytelling technique).
For a film, it is more about letting the viewer know where the characters are in the scene before it happens.

this is my second time watching stand by me so it isn't hard for me to focus on the films different parts other than the story so ı am very carefully watching it and ı will definitely look to those thing you've said and try to spot them
As I understood, establishing shot is used in the beginning of the movie, to help make a general idea of where the film is going to take place
