Charles has little interest in theater. He prefers the cinema, though he cannot be called a cinema devotee. Charles likes feature films, especially comedies and detective films. He’s quite resentful of his parents who think such films to cheap stuff. The swift-moving action, music and comic situations in comedies appeal to him a lot. In his opinion, detective films develop his abilities for analysis. But Charles’s special interest is rock music. He always joins his friends and they flock together to hear some popular group.
Charles also watches a fair amount of TV and does not restrict himself to particular programs. Helen says that television is chewing gum for the eyes. It’s like a drug. People often watch television because they have nothing better to do. So they spend some hours in front of TV set daily and do not realize that television can do them harm. The thing is, the more people watch TV the more passive they become. Children, having their eyes glued to the TV, are influenced by trashy commercials.
Helen is sure that the art of the theater is the only form of art of which the public is an integral part, the only form that is not complete without the audience. The art of the theater depends on interplay between actors and audience. A play is not for all time, it is for the actual moment. It is newly created with each performance. Many actors tell of that curious sensation they have when entering the stage. An expectant force is there, not just separate men and women but an entity.
People also behave differently when they are the part of the audience. They have to share the feelings of a great many other people to enjoy a play properly. Of course, the theater is a two-levelled phenomenon based on the imaginary life of the play and on the reality of the performance.
Good films provide us with a giant mirror-a reflection of the values, the half-truths, and the ideals of society. They represent universal emotions but ‘blow them up’ until they are larger than life.
Whatever one can say about the theater, cinema and television, one can admit that they influence people’s lives, entertain people, teach and inform them, form a public opinion. We can’t imagine our lives without them.
Different people have different views. The fact is, the arts make our lives more interesting and they contribute sufficiently to the cultural needs of people.
Speak on the following topics:
The theater and its place in modern life:
-to have advantages;
-to coexist with TV;
-to lose its significance;
-to possess real advantages over cinema;
-to contribute to the cultural needs of people.
2. The cinema is art:
-to reproduce real life;
-to bring moral truth into the world;
-to entertain and teach people;
-to provoke thoughts.
3. Television wastes too much of people’s time:
-to set up one’s activities and lifestyle around TV programs schedule;
-to have one’s eyes glued to the TV;
-to be influenced by trashy commercials;
-to become TV addicts;
-to turn off the brain;
-to be passive.
