CULTURAL LIFE IN A BIG CITY AND A SMALL TOWN:
A BIG CITY.
In a big city there is usually a better choice of cultural facilities than in a small town/village. In a large city, you can go to: a cinema, a theatre - in the theatre you can see different kinds of performance: a drama, a comedy, an opera, a musical, a ballet.
If you want to see a performance in a theatre, you should buy or book the tickets in advance. Theatre performances take place in the evening and there is always special class atmosphere so people should wear nice clothes when they go to the theatre. After you come to the theatre, you leave your coat in a cloakroom and an attendant will show you your seat. When the performance ends, the audience applauds and the curtain falls. If the performance is excellent, the actors can get a standing ovation.
An art gallery - in an art gallery, we can see exhibitions of classical or modern art. For example the exhibitions of: photographs, paintings, sculptures, book illustrations.
A museum - in the museum we can learn about the history of our country or the history of the whole world. You can see exhibitions of things which show us how people used to live in the past.....

A SMALL TOWN / A VILLAGE.
In small towns and villages there are not as many opportunities for cultural life as there are in big cities. Some villages have a community centre or a club where sometimes discos or balls are held on special occasions - for example on the Mothers’ day or during Christmas.
If people who live in a village want to see a film or a theatre performance, they have to travel to the nearest town or a city. If they don’t want to travel, they can watch a film on TV or they can borrow a DVD and watch it at home......

MY ATTITUDE TO CULTURE:

The main heroes are 2 young people Romeo and Juliet whose families hate each other. They fall in love but their families don’t like it and they want them to break up.
