Exercise 1

Films play an important role in the life of any society. The cinema has become part of the

modern (1) way of life.

The capabilities of films are unlimited. In the past, their power to show modern (2) events

was appreciated. That’s why watching films has become a new form of entertainment and is

considered to be one of the best ways of spending one's (3) leisure time.

There are a lot of different kinds of films: action films, horror films, thrillers, science-

fiction (sci-fi) films, adventure films, mystery films, documentaries, animated cartoon films.

Besides, films may be color or (4) black and white, full-length or short, sound or silent, three-

dimensional (3D) or wide-screen.

We can see films either in the (5) cinema or on TV. As I am often short of time, I have

almost no time for going to the cinema. For this reason, I see films on television more often. I

prefer action films and amusing comedies. Life is so difficult nowadays and I want to relax a

little and sometimes laugh.

Sometimes I become excited watching (6) animated cartoon films. I especially like Walt

Disney’s cartoons “Duck Tales” and “Winnie-the-Pooh's Adventures”. In my opinion, animated

cartoon films are popular both with children and adults, while educational films are mainly for

schoolchildren and students.

In Great Britain and the USA films (“movies” as they often call them) sell more than one

billion tickets a year. Movies are also shown on television and can be rented or purchased as a

(7)DVD-copy.

All in all, attending movies is quite an inexpensive leisure time activity that is very

popular.
