The movie Matilda, directed by Danny DeVito and based on the much-loved children’s novel by Roald Dahl, tells the story of the problems faced by a little girl, Matilda, and how she overcomes them. In the film, she has to deal with various ‘baddie’ characters who make life difficult for her. Characters like the principal (Miss Trunchbull) and the parents (the Wormwoods) are presented in in the film as very negative and nasty people. On the other hand, ‘goodie’ characters like Matilda’s teacher (Miss Honey) and Matilda’s friend (Lavender) are presented more positively. The director uses many different film techniques (like camera angles and costuming) to make these things obvious and, in the process, creates a very entertaining and enjoyable film.

Спереводом текста: the climate of a country is one of the factors that influence the style of its architecture. it can be best illustrated by british residential buildings. the weather in england is often cloudy and there are few sunny days in the winter season, therefore, as a rule, the windows in an english house are of a large size to catch as much light and sunshine as possible. in the houses built in the past century the windows, besides being large, opened upwards, which is very convenient on windy days. since there is much rain in england, typical british houses have high, steep roofs where rain water and melting snow can easily flow down. most of the houses have a fireplace which forms the most characteristic feature of an english home and is seldom seen in other european countries. the plan of an english house also differs from that of the houses where we live. english architects plan some apartments vertically instead of planning them horizontally, so that an english family having a separate apartment lives on two or sometimes three floors with rooms connected with a narrow staircase. they find it the most convenient style of apartment.there are usually three rooms in each apartment besides a kitchen and a bathroom: a living room, a bedroom and a dining room.
Так как в Англии часто идут дожди, типичный британский дом имеет высокую, ступенчатую крышу, с которых легко стекает дождевая вода и слетает тающий снег.
У большинства домов есть камин - самая характерная черта английского дома; камины редко можно увидеть в других европейских странах.
Планировка английского дома так же отличается от планировки домов, в которых мы живем. Английские архитекторы предпочитают вертикальную, а не горизонтальную планировку квартир - таким образом, английская семья с отдельной квартирой обычно живет в комнатах, расположенных на двух, а иногда и трех этажах, соединенных узкой лестницей. Им кажется, что так удобнее. Обычно, кроме кухни и ванной в каждом жилище есть три комнаты: гостиная, спальня и столовая.
