Interview:

T: We can use adjectives in our speech when we discuss something, express our feelings, emotions. So, as the theme of our lesson is “At the cinema” we’ll discuss films, genres and actors. But now I want you to imagine the situation that you are at the practical conference. The members of this conference are: cinema goers and theatre goers. They will discuss what is the most popular nowadays- the cinema or the theatre. Our journalist Anzhella will help us:

Journalist: Good morning dear friends. Now I see that you're ready for our discussion. My first question I address to the theatre admirers. Some people say that nowadays people prefer films to theatre performances and that's why the art of theatre is dying. Do you agree with this point of view?

PI: Certainly not. And the best proof of the fact that Theatre will never die is its history. Just look! The history of theatre is as long as the history of mankind. We may say that ritual dances performed by ancient people before hunt were some kind of performance. And the real theatre was born more than 2000 years ago in Ancient Greece.

J: (to the cinema critic) Do you want to object something?

P2: I don't want to argue with ... but I think that the history of the Theatre is in the past. Today Theatre is not so popular as it was 50 or 100 years ago. More and more people choose movies today.

J: Are you really sure of it?

P3: Cinema is a young art compared to Theatre but it is not as week as you can think. So Cinema is developing very quickly, it is constantly changing.I think that Cinema will replace Theatre in future.

J: Theatre is not developing nowadays. Or maybe it is the same as at the time of its birth. Do you agree?

P4: I don’t agree. Let's just compare the first British theatre "Globe" created by William Shakespeare and a modern theatre.

J: And is the situation the same in Theatre today?

P5: Today it is a modern building with modern equipment. And performances today are modern, very bright and colorful, the scenery has changed.

J: And what do you think about scenery in movies.

P6: Certainly, scenery has changed greatly in Theatre but not so much as in films. The main advantage of the film is that it can be shot both in studios and in nature. Films can move us from one place to another immediately. And always the scenery looks natural, real. Such effect of reality can't be created in Theatre on the stage. That's why I think that films are more spectacular and attract more people. And yet, special effects used in films.

J: Of course you're right. Films are more realistic, more truthful, more colorful... but nevertheless people continue going to the theatre. If films have so many advantages why do so many people still go to the Theatre?

P7: I think it is because of the special atmosphere of the Theatre. It's the atmosphere of a holiday. When you are going to the theatre you are preparing for a holiday. You put on your best costume, make your hair. You may walk in the foyer or may buy a program and take your seat in the hall. Then the lights slowly go down, the curtains rise, the audience applause and the performance begins. The atmosphere of a holiday is in everything.

P8: Can I continue. And in the Cinema the atmosphere is quite different. We wear everyday clothes to the cinema, we never take off our coats there. In big modern theatres you can buy food and drinks and during the film you can eat, drink and talk. Everything is usual, everyday and sometimes unpleasant. And besides we can see too many films nowadays both at the Cinema and on TV and video.

J: Do you agree that the atmosphere in Cinemas is so chewing and is very, very dull?

P9: I don't agree. People buy popcorn and cola, they eat during the film. But I don't think it's so bad. I think the atmosphere in Cinemas is like at home, informal. It helps us to relax, to have fun, to spend a good time with our friends. I like it, and my

friends also like it.

J: Oh, we've heard a lot of arguments for the Cinema and for the Theatre today. But we haven't say anything about actors and acting. Do you have any ideas on this question?

P10: I'd like to speak about it. I think that actors in films are more convincing natural and truthful because a talented cameraman and producer always know how to show the actor or the actress in their best and how to hide their negative sides. And yet, in films actors can shoot one and the same scene several times to reach the perfect result.

P11: You are quite right. Rehearsals also take place in the Theatre. But during the performance on the stage an actor is always face to face with audience. An actor plays every performance as if it is the first time. And it makes his work more difficult, more intensive but more interesting.

J: And one more question about actors. Do we know better the actors of Theatre or Cinema?

P12: No doubt, we know the actors of the Cinema better...

P13: Unfortunately, you are right, but I am sure that more professional actors work in Theatre. Very often people without any special training are invited to film studios. They get invitations only thanks to their appearance.

J: Thank you for your job. I was very glad to work with you Good bye!
