                                    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?
