Iwould like to tell about karlsson, my favourite character from a famous book written by swedish author astrid lindgren. karlsson is a short, stout, overconfident man, who lives in a small house on the roof of an ordinary apartment building. karlsson has a button on his belly. when he presses this button, it activates a little propeller on his back. thanks to this he can fly. karlsson made friends with lillebror, a little boy who lived in one of the flats. his parents love him very much, however lillebror often feels lonely. karlsson and lillebror became best friends. we don't know how old karlsson is, but his jokes and games seem to be very funny for little children. karlsson is very imaginative. a lot of ideas cross his mind all the time. he knows how to entertain the little boy. karlsson is a real expert when it comes to playing a trick. despite all this, i would say that karlsson is a positive character. he supports lillebror, he is always there when the boy needs him, he listens to him and helps him a lot. я бы хотел рассказать о карлсоне – моем любимом герое из знаменитой книги, написанной шведской писательницей астрид линдгрен. карлсон – маленький, толстенький и самоуверенный человечек, который живет в небольшом домике на крыше обычного многоквартирного дома. у карлсона на животе есть кнопка. когда он нажимает на эту кнопку, у него на спине начинает работать маленький пропеллер. этому он может летать. карлсон подружился с малышом – маленьким мальчиком, который жил в одной из квартир. его родители любят его, однако малыш часто чувствует себя одиноким. карлсон и малыш стали лучшими друзьями. мы не знаем, сколько лет карлсону, но его шутки и игры кажутся смешными для маленьких детей. у карлсона богатое воображение. у него в голове всегда много идей. он знает, как развлечь маленького мальчика. когда дело доходит до проделок, карлсон – настоящий эксперт. несмотря на все это, я бы сказал, что карлсон положительный герой. он поддерживает малыша, он всегда рядом, когда мальчик нуждается в нем, он выслушивает его и во многом .
I am fond of good books and good music, and when I have some timeto spare, I like to go to the theatre or a concert. There aremore than a dozen very good orchestras in Britain and some ofthem are world famous. Orchestras in Britain have no concerthalls of their own, but play in halls rented from localauthorities or private companies. There are 2 big concert hallsin London. The Old Royal Albert Hall and the New Royal FestivalHall, which is one of the most modern concert halls in the world.Theatrical perfomances are given by theatre companies. There areabout 200 professional theatres in Britain. Like orchestras, thetheatre companies usually play in rented theatres, but there areseveral theatres which have their own homes. The center of theactrical life is London. London is also the main center of operaand ballet. I am not particulaly fond of the cinema. Rather thentake trouble of going out to see a film, I would stay at home andwatch television. I seemed to share this attitude with the mostother people in Britain. In Britain the choice of films islimited to young people. Films are placed in one of threecategories in Britain. "U" - suitable for everybody, "A" - moresuitable for adults, "X" - suitable only for adults. A personunder 16 years of age may see an "A" filem only in company of anadult. Only person over 16 years of age may see "X" films. Those,who prefer to stay at home may spend their free time, watchingTV, listening to the radio. They have many TV and radio programsto choose from.
As for me, I am a great cinema-goer. I like the cinematremendously. I see all the best films that are on. I preferfeatures films, though I enjoy documentaries almost as much tosay nothing of animated cartoons films, news-reels or popularscience films. I usually go to the cinema for the morning or dayshows. If I want to go to an evening show I book ticketsbeforehand. I like to come to hte cinema a couple of minutesbefore the movie starts. If there is a long time to wait I canalways look at the portraits of film stars hanging on the wallsof the foyer, or listen to a little concert that is usually givenfor the spectators. It is a good idea, that those who are lateare not allowed to enter the hall until the news-reel is over. Ihate being disturbed when a film is on. If I like a movie verymuch I go to see it a second time and besides I see many of themovies televised. I often read the paper "Film Week" to knowwhich films have been released and which ones are being shot. Iknow all the famous script writers, producers and cameramen.
