1.11 Read the dialogue & make up your own one. Spare Time Jack: How do you spend your spare time, Bill? Bill: Well, my wife and I often go to the movies or to the theatre. And, of course, we never fail to watch interesting TV shows. Read and translate these dialogues. Watching Television Ann: I'm going to the "Progress" this evening. Kate: What's on? Ann: It's a western: "Cowboy Come Home". Kate: But there's a western on television to-night. You're welcome to come in and watch it. Ann: A wide screen and the colour will be better, I think. Kate: Nothing of the kind. Here you can have a comfortable chair to sit in, a drink at your elbow and no journey to make. Besides there are other worthwhile programs on: a documentary on underwater swimming, a half hour sport review and an instalment of a mystery serial play. Ann: Do you prefer seeing a story as a TV film to reading it in a book? Kate: Oh, yes. You can actually see the characters and how they're dressed and watch their expressions. Ann: But a film can also make everything more exciting and vivid and the darkness cuts out human surroundings completely. Kate: But you can't choose your program and it's waste of money to walk out if you're bored. It's so easy to turn off the TV - not that I do turn it off very often. Ann: That's just it. You're drugged by it: you've given up all your old interests. That's why I won't have a TV. I still have time to read, invite friends in for a chat or sometimes go to concerts or to the cinema or the theatre.
