Cinema
Cinema plays an important role in the life of any society. It is an available popular form of art. Lots of people find going to the cinema one of the best ways of spending their leisure time. The movie audience is predominantly a young one.
Nowadays we can get entertained by the TV, the radio, the theatre or the cinema. Cinema is available no matter where you live. You can always find the film you like among horror films, thrillers, westerns, detective, love, musical films or comedies.
Not so long ago most people used to visit cinema every week. Often cinema houses were overcrowded. But at present video production has flooded the market and cinema became less popular.
Of late cinema screens in this country have been dominated by films produced in the USA. And this tendency is growing.
When I want to go to the cinema, I usually see in the programme what films are on. Then I phone my friends and we discuss what films to see.
I don't go often to the cinema and my friends are not regular cinema-goers either. But if there is a film, which is a hit with the public, I do my best to watch it.
We prefer feature films but also enjoy cartoons and popular science films. To see a good love story, musical or detective film is a very pleasant way of spending free time. If I want to go to an evening show, I usually book tickets in advance. But for matinee performances I always buy tickets just before the show.
The last film I saw was Hollywood remake of Shakespeare's «Romeo and Juliet". The action takes place in the modern world but all the rest is just like great Shakespeare had described: people, action, and feelings. The original text was used in the film. And I have to mention that the music was great. I think the actors and the actresses did their best and it looked great. I'll remember the film for a long time.
III. Read, translate and reproduce the dialogue:
Voronin: Did you watch the news programme on television yesterday, Mr Blake?
Mr Blake: No, my wife and I went to the cinema last night. Voronin: What was on?
Mr Blake: We saw a new comedy at the Odeon. It started at 7 and lasted till 10, as it is a two-part film.
Voronin: Was the cinema full?
63
Mr Blake: Oh, yes. It's a very popular film. I recommend you to go and see it.
Voronin: Thank you, but I don't like comedies very much. Mr Blake: What kind of films do you like?
Voronin: Well, I like good love stories or musicals. I never watch horror films or old Westerns. Actually, historical films in black and white or in colour are my favourite films. I also like detective films and thrillers.
Mr Blake: How about film versions of novels? Do you like them? Voronin: Yes, if they are close to the original and if popular actors star in them.
