  the person i admire  when i think of someone special, who i could look up to, my grandfather comes to my mind. there are, of course, many prominent people, that are worth admiring. many teenagers are fans of some rock singers, famous actors, but for me the hero is my granddad. he is rather old now, almost 80. nevertheless, he looks and acts as an up-to-date person. he is neither tall nor short, more of a medium height, but he is well-built. he always speaks to the point and tries to stay informed of all the current events in the world. he went through the second world war and had several injuries. he survived the times of real famine and poverty. growing up in a family of 15 children, he had to share one coat and one pair of shoes with his siblings. the same can be said about food. he had to share his only piece of bread or candy with a great number of starving brothers and sisters. however, they survived and they learned to appreciate every little thing in this world. by the way, my grandfather’s name is vladimir. he is my mum’s father. he has always been good to me and my younger sister, though we are not his only grandchildren. when we were little, he would take us to the ice-cream booth at the central park and buy as much ice-cream as we wanted. he would also take us to the merry-go-round. all his life he worked at the factory, where he created vehicle parts. although he has retired long ago, he still does some minor jobs to keep busy. whenever any of his relatives needs help, he is always there for them. he is a great husband, a wonderful father and the best grandfather in the world.

The 20th century made great changes into the theatre. cinema, radio, television, video altered the course of the major performing arts and created the new ones. but still there are hundreds of puppet theatres, conservatoires and philharmonics, musical comedy theatres, drama theatres and opera houses where the audiences are excited at the prospect of seeing a play and the actors are most encouraged the warm reception. we go to the theatre to see a play, that is to say, a performance given by actors and actresses. a play of a serious character, dealing with important human problems is called a tragedy. a play of a humorous, lighter character is a comedy  (or   a farce). dramatists are called playwrights nowadays and there are no longer such great dramatists as shakespeare or g.b.show.cinema   plays an important role in the life of any society. cinema has become a part of the modern way of life. cinema is an excellent vehicle of culture. its possibilities are unlimited. in the earliest years of cinema its power to show the contemporary events was recognized and appreciated. more than anything else this unique quality secured popularity for the film as a new form of instruction and entertainment. that’s why cinema is considered to be one of the best ways of spending one’s leisure time.
