Entertaiment
I am fond of good books and good music, and when I
have some time to spare, I like to go to the theatre or a concert. There are
more than a dozen very good orchestras in Britain and some of them are world
famous. Orchestras in Britain have no concert halls of their own, but play in
halls rented from local authorities or private companies. There are 2 big
concert halls in London. The Old Royal Albert Hall and the New Royal Festival
Hall, which is one of the most modern concert halls in the world. Theatrical perfomances
are given by theatre companies. There are about 200 professional theatres in
Britain. Like orchestras, the theatre companies usually play in rented
theatres, but there are several theatres which have their own homes. The center
of the actrical life is London. London is also the main center of opera and
ballet. I am not particulaly fond of the cinema. Rather then take trouble of
going out to see a film, I would stay at home and watch television. I seemed to
share this attitude with the most other people in Britain. In Britain the
choice of films is limited to young people. Films are placed in one of three
categories in Britain. "U" - suitable for everybody, "A" -
more suitable for adults, "X" - suitable only for adults. A person
under 16 years of age may see an "A" film only in company of an
adult. Only person over 16 years of age may see "X" films. Those, who
prefer to stay at home may spend their free time, watching TV, listening to the
radio. They have many TV and radio programs to choose from.
As for me, I am a great cinema-goer. I like the cinema
tremendously. I see all the best films that are on. I prefer features films,
though I enjoy documentaries almost as much to say nothing of animated cartoons
films, news-reels or popular science films. I usually go to the cinema for the
morning or day shows. If I want to go to an evening show I book tickets
beforehand. I like to come to hte cinema a couple of minutes before the movie
starts. If there is a long time to wait I can always look at the portraits of
film stars hanging on the walls of the foyer, or listen to a little concert
that is usually given for the spectators. It is a good idea, that those who are
late are not allowed to enter the hall until the news-reel is over. I hate
being disturbed when a film is on. If I like a movie very much I go to see it a
second time and besides I see many of the movies televised. I often read the
paper "Film Week" to know which films have been released and which
ones are being shot. I know all the famous script writers, producers and
cameramen.
