the Internet is very important. In the XXI century you can find absolutely everything there: song, an app, an answer to a question, news, and more. thanks to the Internet, people from all over the world can communicate and share their impressions. yesterday I learned the news about covid-19, about the tragic events in Paris and the preparation for the new year of people from another part of the world. but today there are new media and events on the Internet. they say that December will be warm. today I learned new topics at school and told my friends about my impressions.
I love good books and good music, and when I have free time I like to go to the theater or to a concert. There are over a dozen very good orchestras in the UK, and some of them are world famous. Orchestras in the UK do not have their own concert halls, but play in halls rented from local authorities or private companies. London has 2 large concert halls. Old Royal Albert Hall and New Royal Festival Hall, which is one of the most modern concert halls in the world. Theatrical performances are staged by theater companies. There are about 200 professional theaters in the UK. Like orchestras, theater companies usually play in rented theaters, but there are several theaters that have their own homes. The center of theatrical life is London. London is also a major center for opera and ballet. I don't really like cinema. Instead of going to see a movie, I stayed at home and watched TV. I seem to have shared this attitude with most other people in Britain. In Britain, the selection of films is limited to young people. In Britain, films fall into one of three categories. "U" - suitable for everyone, "A" - more suitable for adults, "X" - suitable only for adults. A person under the age of 16 can view file A only when accompanied by an adult. Films in category "X" can only be viewed by persons over 16 years old. Those who prefer to stay at home can watch TV and listen to the radio in their free time. They have many TV and radio programs to choose from.
As for me, I'm a big movie lover. I really like this movie. I watch all the best movies that are on. I prefer films, although I like documentaries almost as much as I do about cartoons, news feeds, or popular science films. I usually go to the movies in the morning or to the afternoon performances. If I want to go to the evening show, I book tickets in advance. I like to go to the cinema a couple of minutes before the movie starts. If you have to wait a long time, I can always look at the portraits of movie stars hanging on the walls of the foyer, or listen to a small concert that is usually given to the audience. It is good that latecomers are not allowed into the hall until the news feed ends. I hate to be bothered when a movie is on. If I really like the film, I go to see it a second time, and besides, I watch many films on television. I often read the Cinema Week newspaper to find out which films have been released and which are being made. I know all famous scriptwriters, producers and cameramen.
