Exercise 9. Read the text and translate it.
I'm a great cinema-goer. I see all the best films that are on in Moscow. I prefer feature films though I enjoy documentaries almost as much, to say nothing of animated cartoon films. I usually go to the cinema for the matinee performances. If I want to go to the cinema in the evening I book tickets beforehand. I always come to the cinema in time. If there is a long time to wait I usually look at the portraits of Russian and foreign film stars hanging on the walls of the foyer, or listen to a little performance that is usually given for the cinema audience in some cinemas of our city. Next week they are announcing a new film produced by Focus Features. They say it is done very well. I'll be glad to go there. I hope I'll have a good time. This film has been dubbed in Russian and it is done so well that when you watch the close-ups you get the impression that they are talking Russian as the lip movements coincide so well with the Russian script. I don't like films based on any book. I think it is better if we don't know the plot of a film. I'm fond of serious films but a friend of mine prefers thrillers and musicals. The other day he saw a film. He liked it immensely and said it was one of the best he had ever seen. This very film had a successful run as the cast was good and the plot was thrilling. I made up my mind to see this film and as it is very difficult to get tickets I’ll get them in advance by telephone.
Answer the questions. Are you a cinema-goer? What is the name of your local cinema? How often do you visit it? With whom do you usually go to the cinema? You prefer the evening performance to the matinee one, don't you? What kind of films do you like best?

B: Seats are not reserved at that movie house, but I am sure we’ll be able to get in. Most likely we’ll have to wait for stall seats. Shall we buy balcony seats, if stall seats are not available? A: Please don’t. I have seen a film from the balcony. It is too far from the screen. You know my eyesight is rather poor. I wear glasses. B: The movie starts in ten minutes. There are many comfortable seats in the foyer. We can wait there. After the picture ends there will be many vacant seats. A: Well, what do you think of the films? B: I enjoyed both of them.
