Let’s practice acting out sad and happy characters and read the
dialogue. It’s important HOW you say the words, not just WHAT WORDS you say.

Just remember
an event from your life when you felt really sad (you lost or broke something,
your dog ran away). Act out a dialogue as if it were a tragedy. OK.

Now
remember a happy day in your life (you were given a nice present, you got a
five in your test) and act out the same dialogue as a happy character.

Топик ниже средней сложности — My Going to the Theatre — Поездка в театр

I should say that it is impossible not to love theatre. It shows us how beautiful, strong and clever people are, how wonderful and interesting life is. That’s why it is almost impossible to get tickets when a good play is on. You have to buy tickets beforehand either at the box-office of the theatre itself or at one of the agencies.

When you go to the theatre you should know that the best seats are those in the stalls, the circle and the upper circle. Then comes the pit and last of all the gallery where the seats are the cheapest. Boxes, of course, are the most expensive. It is true to every theatre where you can see opera, ballet, comedy, drama, musical comedy or a variety show. Most theatres and music-halls have good orchestras with popular conductors. So if you have chosen a good play you will enjoy it thoroughly from the moment the curtain goes up to the end of the last act.

Frankly speaking, the same was with me when I saw «Swan Lake» by Pyotr Ilyitch Chaykovsky, the great Russian composer. I had heard a lot about the «Swan Lake» and was eager to see it. Once I learnt that the ballet would be on at our Opera and Ballet House. But I was in doubt whether I could get tickets as the house is usually sold long before the performance. Luckily, I managed to get two tickets to the evening performance.

Long before the performance I and my friend were at the theatre impatiently waiting for the beginning of the ballet. The audience came and all the seats were engaged though the house held very many people.

Soon the lights went down, the curtain rose and we caught our breath when we saw a lake in the moonlight and tender sounds of music touched our ears. From that time on we couldn’t take our eyes off the stage where delicate > charming «swans» were flying in their wonderful dance. I was absolutely thrilled with the dance of the «black swan», treacherous and beautiful. It goes without saying, that the actress dancing the leading part was at her best and captivated the audience. We couldn’t help admiring the selfless fight of love against evil and witchcraft.

When the final curtain fell and the lights went up the theatre burst into stormy applause. Curtain call followed curtain call. The performance was a success indeed and it left an unforgettable impression on me. 

Chaykovsky created «Swan Lake» in 1876. And there is no one who is indifferent to this masterpiece. Perhaps, it is because the musician of genius Chaykovsky had a rare gift of responding with his heart to sufferings and joys of all people.

Going to the theatre is a way of spending an evening which can be at the same time most entertaining and educative. Despite competition from the cinema, wireless and television, the theatre still plays an important part in the life of the average Englishman. There are over 220 professional theatres in Britain. The center of theatrical activity is in London where there are some 30 principal theatres in the “West End” and several more in the suburbs, but some important performances are taking place in the provinces. In London there are theatres for all tastes: some people prefer musical comedy and shows of that kind, with their catchy tunes are very popular. Variety shows, in which actors entertain the audience with sentimental and comic performances also draw full houses and greatly influence the artistic tastes of the public.

Those who do not care for musical comedy or variety will find other shows to their taste. Some theatres stage modern plays: Shakespeare and other classics are played mostly at Old Vic, the Royal Opera shows opera and ballet. The evening performances usually begin at 19.30 or at 20.00 and finish at about eleven. Seats are expensive and a night out at a theatre is quite a luxury for the average Englishman. Only a few theatres have their own permanent companies. Groups are formed for a season, sometimes even for a single play. Regular seasons of opera and ballet are given at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and the National Theatre.

Some theatres concentrate on the classics and serious drama, some on light comedy and revue, some on musicals. Most theatres have a personality of their own: from the old such as the Theatre Royal in the Haymarket, to the very new such as the Mermaid Theatre in the city of London built on the banks of the Thames. A visitor to London is always surprised when he sees the Royal Opera House standing almost inside Covent Garden, the city’s great fruit, flower and vegetable market. Because of its location it is usually referred to simply as “Covent Garden” and if someone tells us that he is going to the Covent Garden we immediately think of the opera and not greengrocery. The first Covent Garden Theatre was built in 1732. It was more a theatre of drama than of opera. Yet many of Handel’s operas were performed here for the first time. The famous singers such as Adelina Patty, Tetrazziny and Caruso sang here many times. The great Russian Shaliapin also sang in Covent Garden. The composers Gounod and Berlioz came to see their operas performed. Now the theatre is busier than ever: it is one of the well-known opera houses open for eleven months in the year and it employs over 600 people both of the opera company and the Royal Ballet.

Ходить в театр это способ провести вечер, который может быть в то же время наиболее интересные и образовательные. Несмотря на конкуренцию со стороны кинотеатра, беспроводной и телевидения, театра до сих пор играет важную роль в жизни среднего англичанина. Есть более 220 профессиональных театров в Великобритании. Центром театральной деятельности в Лондоне, где есть около 30 главных театров в «West End» и еще несколько в пригороде, но некоторые важные выступления происходят в провинции. В Лондоне есть театры на любой вкус: некоторые люди предпочитают музыкальной комедии и шоу такого рода, с их броские мелодии очень популярны. Варьете, в котором актеры развлекать аудиторию с сентиментальными и комических спектаклей также собирают полные залы и значительно влиять на художественные вкусы публики. Те, кто не заботиться о музыкальной комедии или сорта найдут другие шоу по своему вкусу. Некоторые театры этап современные пьесы: Шекспир и других классиков играют в основном на Олд Вик, Королевский оперный показывает оперу и балет. Вечерние спектакли обычно начинаются в 19.30 или в 20.00 и закончится в одиннадцать. Сиденья стоят дорого и ночь в театре довольно роскошь для среднего англичанина. Лишь немногие театры имеют свои постоянные компаний. Группы формируются за сезон, иногда даже для одного спектакля. Регулярные сезоны оперы и балета даются в Королевском оперном театре Ковент-Гарден и Национального театра. Некоторые театры сконцентрироваться на классике и серьезной драмы, некоторые на легкой комедии и ревю, некоторые на мюзиклах. Большинство театров имеют личность самостоятельно: от старого, такие как в Королевском театре в Сенной, на самый новый, такие как Русалка театра в городе Лондоне, построенный на берегах Темзы. Посетитель Лондоне всегда удивлены, когда он видит в Королевском оперном театре стоя почти внутри Ковент-Гарден, большой плод города, цветок и овощной рынок. Благодаря своему расположению он обычно называют просто «Ковент-Гарден» и если кто-то говорит нам, что он собирается в Ковент Гарден мы сразу же думать о оперы и не овощном. Первого Ковент-Гарден театр был построен в 1732 году было больше театр драмы, чем оперы. Тем не менее, многие из опер Генделя проводились здесь в первый раз. Известные певцы, такие как Юлия Пэтти, Tetrazziny и Карузо пел здесь много раз. Великий русский Шаляпин пел в Ковент-Гарден. Композиторы Гуно и Берлиоз пришли посмотреть их опер. Теперь театр занят, чем когда-либо: это один из известных оперных открытых в течение одиннадцати месяцев в году в ней работает более 600 человек обоих оперной труппы и Королевского балета.

Как написать хороший ответ?

Чтобы добавить хороший ответ необходимо:

  • Отвечать достоверно на те вопросы, на которые знаете
    правильный ответ;
  • Писать подробно, чтобы ответ был исчерпывающий и не
    побуждал на дополнительные вопросы к нему;
  • Писать без грамматических, орфографических и
    пунктуационных ошибок.

Этого делать не стоит:

    уникальные и личные объяснения;
  • Отвечать не по сути: «Подумай сам(а)», «Легкотня», «Не
    знаю» и так далее;
  • Использовать мат — это неуважительно по отношению к
    пользователям;
  • Писать в ВЕРХНЕМ РЕГИСТРЕ.
