Russian. TV Program

Russian

A lot has been said and written about the inscrutable ‘Russian soul’ – yet, it still keeps its mystery. Here are some of our thoughts about the common traits of the people inhabiting this multiform and contradictive country. Certainly, the picture is only approximate, as those traits vary greatly depending on an age group, region, education, profession, belief, etc.

'Spacious soul' or 'big nature' - that will be the first thing to hear from a Russian if asked about the Russian national character. The phrase has become a commonplace, while its meaning is not so easy to define.

"Go there no one knows where and bring nobody knows what"- that is the task given to the main hero in many Russian tales. The mission sounds absurd; yet, the hero gets a magic object (a clew of threads or an apple) rolling before him and showing the right path to follow. Similarly, a Russian person is guided by intuition (one's inner voice or the Lord's will, whatever) rather than by mere reason.

"All that is done is done for the better" - one of the favorite Russian sayings goes. On the one hand, it implies optimistic and adventurous outlook, on the other hand, sheer fatalism and passivity - the opposites coming together in Russian people - drifting throughout life, we are apt to adapt to ever-changing circumstances rather than to oppose them.

"Better have a hundred friends than a hundred roubles". In Russia it works a hundred-per-cent. Personal relations play here a more important role than one's social status or bank account. The dark side of it is that a person's success often depends on profitable connections rather than on one's talents and professionalism.

TV Program

The most popular entertainment in our home life is television. We have a choice between 20 channels or more. Television plays an important role in our life. It informs people about current events both national and international, the latest achievements in science and culture, and offers some programs, which are both interesting and stimulating. Every day we can see different tips of programs on TV. News is broadcast at regular intervals. They also present operas, ballets, music concerts and various shows. Broadcast for schools are produced on five days of the week, during school hours. In the late afternoon and early evening TV channels showed special programs for children. In the evenings and at weekends there are broadcasts of sports events. A large time of TV evening’s time is occupied by films and serials, but as for me I like soap operas, such as House M.D.

This is an American television medical drama that debuted on the Fox network. The show's central character is Dr. Gregory House, an unconventional and misanthropic medical genius who heads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton‑Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey. I like it because plot og drama is so interesting and inviting. And sertanlly i enjoy of the cast of serial.

Music

Can you think of a day without music. We can hear music everywhere: in the streets and at home, over the radio and on TV, in the shops and in the parks. People all over the world are fond of music. They listen to music, they dance to music, they learn to play musical instruments.

But what is music. Specialists explain that music isn't only a combination of pleasant sounds. It is an art which reflects life. There are a lot of different kinds of music. Some of them appeared long ago, and some are modern.

My favourite style of music is acoustic music, because it is breathtaking and natural. This kind of music helps me to relax when I'm tired

My favourite group is Luke Pickett - the author/executor of own songs from Great Britain, in the past the vocalist and the guitarist nowadays not existing post hardcore groups Her Words Kill

I fond of their style of singing. When I have free time I listen to their records. I also like having background music while I am working.

Film

Every day films of different kinds are shown on TV: touching melodramas, entertaining comedies, frightening horror, exciting action films, unforgettable thrillers, true- to- life historical films, educational documentaries. They are so various that can suit different tastes. Some films grab our attention from the very first moment, some seem to be a drag. It*s up to you to decide to watch the film or not. I*m sure that a good film is a relaxation and means of intertainment.

Among different types of films I prefer comedy and romantic drama, because such films are very cheerful and full of life. I don’t like horror films and I find them quite disgusting.

Sometimes I may watch a fantastic or a historical film, but I’m not very keen on these types of films. Now let me tell you about one of my favourite films A BEAUTIFUL MIND.

A Beautiful Mind is a American film based on the life of John Forbes Nash, a Nobel Laureate in Economics. The film was directed by Ron Howard and written by Goldsman. A highly regarded mathematician suffers paranoid schizophrenia which almost destroys his life until he comes to terms with it.And i think its so exiting.

Mass media

The British press consists of several kinds of newspapers.

The national papers are the ones sold all over the country, with a
