Слайд 17

What makes us watch comedies? Comedies are always unusual. The actors who play in them are always very talented and well-known that`s why we call them « stars». Comedies carry us away from daily routine. We enjoy them very much. Nothing can hold us from going to the cinema if a very jokey comedy is on. We enjoy the comedy greatly, tears are rolling down our cheeks from laughing so hard that we have to wipe our eyes with a handkerchief. It`s especially acute in our time full of violence and injustice. Evils lead arguments and conflicts and fights. We mustn`t be aggressively- minted if want to live in peace. We must be intelligent and kind-hearted, very friendly and tolerant . If we watch a lot of funny films ,we`ll be kinder and more optimistic.
