Nowadays the theatre is less popular than the cinema. due to the popularity of television and the since appearance of video, theatre has lost a great deal of its attraction. besides, theatre tickets are very expensive, especially in good theatres. so we can say that a visit to a famous theatre has become a luxury. still, the theatre is an inseparable part of the intellectual life of any country. we can even say that the theatre as an art reflects the state of society and of the mind of the nation. in every country theatre has its own history, traditions and peculiarities. there are a lot of theatres in russia and some of them are popular all over the world. in moscow theatre-goers try not to miss the first nights at the vakhtangov, sovremennik, or khudozhestvenny (art) theatres. st. petersburg also has a variety of theatres, which meet all the tastes. lovers of classic music never miss a chance to visit the philharmonic society hall. opera and ballet lovers can go to mariinsky opera house and maly opera house. those who are fond of drama visit the bolshoi drama theatre, alexandrinsky theatre, open theatre and many others. many new theatres and studios have appeared during the last five or ten years. many theatres are famous for theirexcellent company, sets and great directors. i'm not a regular theatre-goer, but sometimes i like to go and see an interesting performance. one of my favourite theatres is the bolshoi drama theatre. it is so not only because of it

Чудесный день с моим папой
"Твой папа здесь" сказала моя тетя снизу. Я побежала вниз по лестнице, не смыв с лица зубную пасту. Я подбежала к нему и он обнял меня. "Я скучала по тебе", сказала я ему в грудь. "И я тоже по тебе скучал". Я была готова через минуту. Я запрыгнула в машину и подождала пока Джанис подошла к папе и обняла его. Но в этот раз, кроме нас троих, пришла еще и мама. У меня было ощущение, что мы снова одна семья, которая проводит время вместе. "Куда вы хотите поехать", спросил он. "В кино", ответили мы одновременно. Мы зашли и заплатили за билеты. После того, как закончился фильм, мы поехали в местную пиццерию и заказали огромную пиццу. Мы съели целую пиццу и направились на почту. Боюсь, что съела слишком много. Вскоре спустились сумерки и он отвез нас домой. Я плакала, потому что знала, что в следующий раз я увижу его только на летних каникулах. На следующий день мы должны были возвращаться домой в Сейнт Льюис.
