CINEMA

My parents and I like to spend the weekends together. We go for a walk in the forest or park, attend Concert Halls or go to the cinema, or to some theatre. Several years ago, we used to go to the cinema quite frequently, but now we have a big new TV set and a video, so we enjoy films mainly at home. Still, from time to time, we go to the nearest cinema hall, for it is nice and cosy. We prefer the mid rows. Lately we saw a wonderful French musical. We enjoyed it very much. I like film versions of novels, musicals, comedies and epic films. My mother prefers tragedies and serials, reflecting life in various countries. Father likes documentaries, popular science films and detectives. My little brother is fond of animated cartoons, as all children probably are, but my parents don't like some of the cartoons, because as they say, they are cruel and full of murders and bad deeds. My parents think that they don't influence children in a good or necessary way, developing bad taste and cruel attitude towards other people. I agree with them. Several days ago, I went to the cinema with my friends. "Bright Stars" was on. We enjoyed the film immensely and discussed it on our way home.

• Do you like to go to the cinema?

• Is your friend a great cinema-goer?

• Do you like horror films and thrillers? Musicals? Historical films?

• What film have you seen lately?

THEATRE

You enter a theatre and get into an absolutely different world... I like theatres since childhood. Large halls, decorations, the orchestras and the performances themselves give me a very specific mood. We usually buy tickets in advance in the box-office. We prefer the pit or the dressing circle. Students and those who cannot buy expensive tickets, prefer the gallery. Gradually the lights go down, and the wonder begins. I like classical and modern plays, but most of all I like ballet. I am fond of the "Swan Lake" with the marvelous music composed by Tchaikovsky, the "Sleeping Beauty", the "Nutcracker". Year after year the house bursts into applause, when the curtains go down. Generation after generation enjoy these ever-living wonderful ballets.

There are many good theatres in any large city. The best known in Moscow is the Bolshoi Theatre. It is well known all over the world. Many new theatres and theatrical groups appeared in different cities in recent years. Maybe, some day they will be just as famous as the old theatres and their actors. Much depends on the cast, of course.

I hope that theatres will be always popular and loved.

Questions

• Which is your favourite theatre?

• Do you like operas? Ballet?

• Have you ever been to the Bolshoi Theatre?

• The " Swan Lake" is simply marvellous, isn't it?

Dialogue

- Are you a great theatre­ goer?

Oh, 1 like theatres very much. Do you like ballet? I am fond
of it.

- I like adagio from the "Swan Lake" most of all.

- Do you like modern plays?

- Some of them. Much depends on the actors, of course.

MUSEUMS

Museums give us a wonderful opportunity to get acquainted with the art of different centuries, countries and schools. They tell us about the painters, sculptors, artists of the past, the ideals, tastes and fashions that existed in those faraway days. I attend museums quite frequently, because I like art very much. I like ancient and modern art, portraits and landscapes, still life and seascapes. One of the best known in Russia and abroad museums is the Moscow Tretyakov Gallery. It was named after its founder, P.M.Tretyakov, who began to collect paintings in 1856. He wanted to show them to ordinary people, who could not travel and see the works of artists in other places. The gallery was nationalized in 1918. Many works appeared in it after that time. Some halls exhibit the works of famous Russian painters of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Here belong Repin, Ivanov, Surikov, Serov, Rublev, Levitan. A whole hall exhibits Repin's works, reflecting the history of our country— "Ivan Grozny and His Son Ivan", "Arrest of a Propagandist", the famous "Volga Boat Haulers". He drew perfect portraits of Pirogov, Tolstoi; his daughter Nadia was drawn with great warmth and tenderness. Of interest are his self-portraits. Great attention attract Rublev and his famous icon "Trinity", Ivanov, Brullov, Tropinin, Vasnetsov. It is impossible to name all the famous and talented artists of our rich in talents country, whose works are exhibited in the Gallery. The best thing to do, is to attend it, hall after hall, and to look at the wonderful works and to attend many other splendid museums of our country and city. It will give so much unforgettable knowledge and subtle feelings to the mind and soul...

Questions

• Do you frequently go to museums and art galleries?

• Who are your favourite artists?

• Which works of Russian artists do you like most of all?

• Have you ever been to Hermitage?

Dialogue
