Cinema (2)

Cinematograph is one of the wonders of the modern world. In 1895 the Lumiere brothers gave the world’s first real cinema show in Paris to an audience of thirty-three spectators. The first film they showed was «The Arrival of a train at a Station». Moving pictures seemed so real that the audience was frightened to death by the train rushing at them from the screen. Cinematograph is really an art of our time. Everyone can find something to his liking in the broad variety of its genres. For example: horror films, thriller films, popular science films, mystery films, documentaries, and animated cartoons. Besides films may be color or black-and-white, full-length or short, sound or silent, dubbed or have subtitles.

Cinema has got an important role in the life of any society. Cinema has become a part of the modern way of life. There is no denying that cinema is an important part of our culture.

Modern cinema halls are comfortable. There are many rows with convenient seats in the hall. It’s possible for everyone to see the screen clearly. The quality of the sound has changed a lot. At the present time we can enjoy the Dolby Digital surround sound. In most cinemas you can buy a snack or a drink. The most popular of these are popcorn and coca-cola

We can’t imagine our everyday life without TV. Every day, every single evening most of people are watching TV. You can watch whatever you like: news, show, films or anything else. There are so many different channels: news, discovery, sport, music, fashion and others.
