Term 2. Transcript for listening task . (the task will be recorded) (the text was adopted by the age characteristics of learners)

Movies play an important role in our life and of course we like to go to the cinema. As for me it is an available popular form of art, I find visiting cinemas is one of the best ways of spending my free time. And everyone can choose his favorite genre of film. There are such genres of feature films like a thriller, a musical, a drama and a comedy. Movies extend our knowledge about people, about the world we live. Sometimes we do need something amusing, pleasant and funny. That’s why we prefer comedies. And there is no doubt that a good film gives us an excellent entertainment.

Watching a good film with children helps us in upbringing. I think taste can be formed through the movies because there are a lot of films about nature, animals, and kind people. Children prefer watching cartoons for hours because it is interesting. And I enjoy seeing cartoons too.
