Grade 3, Unit 4. Theatre. Cinema. Television. Radio
Going to the cinema has always been a happy part of our life. Some people go to the cinema when they want to see a super new film which is much talked about. Other people go to the cinema when they want to have a change. Sometimes students prefer watching films to reading books, though it is not so valuable. Through films one can vividly see the events of history or the contemporary countries, cultural and wild life of those.
One of the advantages of the radio is that it can be enjoyed anywhere: at home, in the office, or in the car. The biggest advantage is the following: you can listen to it while doing other activities like driving or household(s) tasks. One of the most useful functions of radio is introducing people to the best literary works. It is especially important for those who are slow readers.
There are many radio channels, and people have their favourite ones. They listen to them regularly. Some radio programs are especially interesting for the young who choose those through internet. Sometimes radio listeners send emails (or even write letters) to the radio-studios and express their viewpoints.
In many cases preferences of people depend on the age. Elder generation often enjoy the films of their youth time, psychological dramas or comedies. Younger ones prefer adventures, horror or detective films. Nearly all people watch news regularly.
My Grandpa is fond of radio and listens to it from early in the morning till late at night. He says that he is always in need of information.
My Dad is a computer lover. He started to deal with the computer in his early childhood and he has been using it since that time.
My Grandma enjoys television. Someone told her that it had brought the world into our homes and she still believes it. She watches television between meals and during the meals, between numerous telephone calls and stops watching it only when I start doing my homework. She is sure she must always help me because I am not ready for the complicated modern life.

5. My Mom is a Theatre Goer
My Mom is a theatre goer. She knows all the theatres in Moscow: from the Bolshoi theatre to the new one in the basement of our house. She watches everything - tragedies, comedies, ballets, musicals and operettas. Furthermore, she listens to operas and knows not only the names of the composers, but the most talented actors. She likes to have her seats in the stalls. Actually, she does not care where to sit, because it is not so important for her as to attend the theater. If there are no tickets for the stalls she buys tickets for the dress circle, box and the balcony. She says she is thankful to my grandma who used to take her to the theater when she was a preschooler.
