TRAFFIC COPS
Traffic cops is a popular TV series of real-life police
videos. It is part-documentary and part-reality show.
It features video footage from cameras in police
cars, helicopters, and sometimes from handheld
cameras, too. It focuses on road crime and bad
driving. Each episode has a catchy title and the
narrator really draws the viewer into the action. A
typical voice-over would go something like this:
"As we join the scene from the air, the 'eye-in-the-
sky' can see the suspect is driving his motorbike very
fast through the town. He's driving on the pavement
and on the road. There he's going across a zebra
crossing. Luckily, there aren't many pedestrians
around or else lots of people could be injured. Now
he's going toward the traffic lights - no wait - he's
doing a U-turn into oncoming traffic. That is so
dangerous! Look at him now! He's going along the
bus lane and up the hill. I hope no one is on the other
side or they'll be shocked. Now where is he? There he
is! I don't believe it! He's going under the bridge just
as the police car is going over the bridge. They just
missed him. He's going along the bike lane toward
the tunnel. Now he's going into the tunnel. The
officers on the ground are speeding over the level
crossing to cut him off at the end of the tunnel. This
is so exciting! Yes! It's all over. They got him!"

Also I have 2 brothers. They're younger than me: the youngest is in the 2nd form and another is in the 5th. I love them but sometimes we fight.
I have 2 grandmothers and 1 grandfather. Grandmother Dasha is 78 years old, g-mother Masha is 75 years old and grandfather is 80 years old. Now they don't work because they're old. When my grandfather was younger, he worked in a factory. Grandmother Dasha was a doctor and Grandmother Masha was a teacher. They loved their work, but now they are engaged in our upbringing. I love them very much.
we may quarrel and have different views on life, but I know that there is a place where everybody supports me. Its name is my big and friendly family.

У нас большая семья. Моя мама - менеджер, и мой отец - инженер. Возраст моей мамы - 33 года, но сейчас она не работает. Моему отцу 40 лет. Они заботятся о нас.
Также у меня есть 2 брата. Они младше меня: младший во 2-м классе, а второй в 5-й. Я люблю их, но иногда мы ссоримся.
У меня 2 бабушки и 1 дедушка. Бабушке Даше 78 лет, Бабушке Маше 75 лет и дедушке 80 лет. Сейчас они не работают, потому что они на пенсии. Когда дедушка был моложе, он работал на заводе. Бабушка Даша была врач, и бабушка Маша была учительницей. Они любили свою работу, но сейчас они занимаются нашим воспитанием. Я их очень люблю.
Мы можем ссориться и иметь разные взгляды на жизнь, но я знаю, что есть место, где все поддерживают меня. Это место - Моя большая и дружная семья.
