Movies play an important role in my life and of course I like to go to the cinema. As for me it is an available popular form of art, I find visiting cinemas is one of the best ways of spending my free time. And everyone can choose his favorite genre of film. There are such genres of feature films like a thriller, a musical, a drama and a comedy. To my mind movies extend our knowledge about people, about the world we live. But sometimes we do need something amusing, pleasant and funny. That’s why I prefer comedies. And there is no doubt that a good film gives us an excellent entertainment. Watching a good film with children helps us in upbringing.
Фильмы играют важную роль в моей жизни и, конечно, я люблю ходить в кино. Для меня это доступный и популярный вид искусства, я считаю, посещение кинотеатров является одним из лучших провести свободное время. И каждый может выбрать свой любимый жанр фильма. Есть такие жанры художественных фильмов, как триллер, мюзикл, драма и комедия. На мой взгляд, фильмы расширяют наши знания о людях, о мире, где мы живем. Всем известно, что мы живем в очень трудное время, в настоящее время. Но иногда нам нужно что-нибудь забавное, приятное и смешное. Вот почему я предпочитаю комедии. И нет никакого сомнения, что хороший фильм станет нам отличным развлечением. Просмотр хороших фильмов с детьми нам в их воспитании.
