My Dream
I usually wake up when my alarm clock goes off, and even if I have had some dream, I seldom remember it.
But I cannot forget the strange dream that I had a few months ago. I dreamt that I was walking down a long corridor of an ancient castle. The corridor was lit by torches hanging on the walls. Suddenly I heard a rattle, a door opened and in the doorway I saw a figure of a knight in full armor. The knight called me by my name. I walked closer and saw that the knight was holding my smartphone, which I had lost a few days before. For some reason I was not surprised and took my smartphone. Then I turned around and walked along the corridor in search of an exit from the castle, but at that moment the wind blew, the torchlight went out and suddenly something pushed me hard in the back. I fell down and dropped my smartphone. I tried to grope it around, but I could not find it. I was scared and then I crawled on all fours forward. Soon I hit a wooden door and pushed it open. I was blinded by the bright sunlight, and then I woke up. It was still night and everything was quiet at home.
Since that night I have often thought about this dream, but I still have not found my smartphone.
Мой сон
Я обычно просыпаюсь, когда срабатывает мой будильник, и даже если мне снился какой-то сон, я редко помню его.
Но я не могу забыть странный сон, который приснился мне несколько месяцев назад. Мне снилось, что я иду по длинному коридору древнего замка. Коридор был освещен факелами, висящими на стенах. Внезапно я услышал стук, дверь открылась, и в проёме я увидел фигуру рыцаря в полном вооружении. Рыцарь позвал меня по имени. Я подошел ближе и увидел, что рыцарь держит мой смартфон, который я потерял несколько дней назад. Я почему-то не удивился и взял смартфон. Затем я повернулся и пошел по коридору в поисках выхода из замка, но в этот момент подул ветер, факела погасли, и вдруг что-то сильно толкнуло меня в спину. Я упал и выронил смартфон. Я пытался нащупать его, но не смог его найти. Мне было страшно, а потом я пополз на четвереньках вперед. Вскоре я ударился о деревянную дверь и открыл ее. Меня ослепил яркий солнечный свет, а потом я проснулся. Была еще ночь, и дома было тихо.
С той ночи я часто думал об этом сне, но свой смартфон я так и не нашёл.
Nowadays there are a lot of programs influencing on people’s outlook, behavior and opinions on TV. A lot of people watch reality shows. Reality television is a genre of television programming that present dramatic or humorous situations and features ordinary people instead of professional actors. For example, one of the most popular reality shows in Russia is «Dom 2». Married couples build a house that is in final draft played out among them by audience voting. It was led by many famous people. Undoubtedly, reality shows have both advantages and disadvantages.
On one hand, there are some positive aspects to reality shows. To begin with, they show usmany life situations. We are a part of show. It teaches us not to do silly and thoughtless actions. As a result, we can obtain some life experience. In addition, it helps to relax after a hard day.
But on other hand, reality shows have disadvantages. Firstly, there is a lot of violence in these programs. Secondly, most viewers are teenagers. They have unformed tastes, character and beliefs. These shows influence on their psyche. Finally, psychologists attribute the popularity of these shows with the desire for peeping at someone else’s life, which is satisfied by such programs. Of course, there are other factors defining popularity of any scandal programs: curiosity and a desire of strong feelings.
For this reason, I am against reality shows. I don’t think it’s the best way to spend time. Reading books or communication with friends is a better way to
