What is the topic of our lesson?

Let’s begin our work. Today we are going to finish our working on our topic “What helps you to enjoy yourselves”.

The aim of our lesson is to control our knowledge, speech habits and skills.

III. Основной этап. Обобщение и систематизация знаний.

Well, we have prepared for our work. Let’s discuss our topic. Try to answer my questions.

1. What arts do you know and what role does art play in our life?

- There are many different arts – literature, architecture, sculpture, painting, drawing, music, theatre, dance, cinema and others. Pieces of art can be perceived by eye and ear, they can be three-dimensional or two-dimensional. There are many styles and genres of art. Popular arts are music, theatre, painting and cinema. Though all people are different, everyone has his favorite art.

2. What can you say about music, painting, theatre and cinema? Tell us a few words about these arts.

- The word “music” originates from the Greek word “Muse”. There were 9 muses (goddesses) in Greek mythology; each was in charge of an art or a science. Music is the art of combining sounds of voice or voices and (or) sounds of musical instruments to produce harmony and express emotions. Pieces of music often move humans’ souls and make people feel and suffer. Being a small boy, Chaikovsky was shocked by the sounds of music. Music always was used to inspire troops before battles.

- The word “theatre” also originates from a Greek word. Theatre is not only the art of acting but also dramatic literature and the place where plays are performed. It was the Greek theatre where the main types of plays were defined (tragedy, comedy and drama). It is interesting to know that the tradition of making rich, beautifully decorated costumes also came from the Greek theatre. For centuries theatre has been the most popular spectator art for both rich and poor people. In Russia puppet theatres with Petrushka and other characters were very popular. Theatre was the place of meeting and dating for the nobles.

- Painting (the word is of Latin origin) is the art of portraying or representing objects with line and color. The first pictures were probably the pictures of animals and were drawn for the reason of magic. There are many items portraying gods. In Christianity they are called “icons”. The most famous Russian icon painters were Andrey Rublyov and Pheophan Greek. Moslem religion prohibited to portray people and let artists paint only flowers and things because they have no souls. Painters express their ideas through composition, coloring and light and shade effect. There are many techniques developed through centuries to interpret the feelings of an artist into flat images on a canvas or a piece of paper.

- Cinema is the youngest of the arts. It appeared in the XIX century when the special device was invented. At first, films were silent but later the techniques for shooting sound films and films in Technicolor were developed. Although the greatest cinema empire is Hollywood, the inventors of the cinema were the French not Americans. The Lumiere brothers invented the first film projector and motion-picture camera in1895.That year on the 28^th of December they demonstrated the first three minutes film Arrival of the train. In that film, a train came towards the camera. People ran out of the cinema, thinking it was a real train.

3. What is the main difference between the theatre and the cinema?

- In the theatre you can see actors in life and they act right before you. In cinema all scenes are shot several times and than the best one is chosen.

4. What causes more emotions the theatre or the cinema and why?

- I think that cinema causes more emotions because it is more realistic.

5. What art do you like best of all?

- Of course, cinema.

6. What else do you know about cinema?

- I know that the greatest cinema empire is Hollywood. Hollywood is a part of Los Angeles. The main studios are situated and most of the films are shot there. All the inventions in cinematography first appeared there.

- I know that the first genres of American films were melodrama, western and comedy, later appeared adventure and historical films. But now the range of genres is much richer, for example: action films, horror films, thrillers, musicals, cartoons and others.

- I know that: the biggest film companies are MGM, Paramount, 20^th Century Fox, Columbia Pictures, Warner Brothers and Universal.

1. What is your favourite film?

- My favorite film is “Romeo and Juliet” by Baz Luhrmann.

I think this film is very touching. It preserves the tragedy of the play. The actors play magnificently This film makes you laugh at some moments and cry at others. I think that this fresh view at “Romeo and Juliet” is very interesting. To my opinion this film is absolutely great.

Teacher: - Well, pupils you know much about cinema. And what do you know about Russian cinematography? I want you to listen to the text about Russian cinematography. Listen to the text and try to understand the main idea.
