The Russian village of Shuvalovka is a cultural experience. Visitors see, what life was in the village hundreds years ago. The modern village of Shuvalovka is the copy of how society looked in 1714. For many years different people received the earth, built buildings and shops. The village recreated traditional log srubny houses in which till the 18th century peasants lived in Novgorod. In each house there is the Russian furnace where the family cooked food. There are also restored shops and factories which provided people with products. Other sight in the village is the Oil Meadow. This place was and remains an ideal place for entertainments. Many holidays, popular sports tournaments, exhibitions and musical events are held here all the year round. In winter months in the village festive events are also held, and the skating rink, driving on sledge from a hill, traditional horse jumps and walks on horses is offered.
Artthere are many different types of arts in the world. the most popular ones are cinema, theater, literature, music and painting. i’d like to tell you a little bit about each of these arts. first of all, my favourite type of art is music. it has always fascinated me how people create such melodic tunes. i love all genres of music, be it jazz, classical, pop, rock, reggae, opera, blues or else. music can change my mood. if i’m sad i try to listen to something cheerful, for example, to disco music. if i want to think in loneliness, i prefer alternative rock. i’m glad that there are so many devices nowadays which allow us to listen to music everywhere we wish. it includes radios, mp-3 players, cd-players, mobile phones. my second favourite type of art is literature. i like reading interesting novels and detective stories. i also value the works of famous writers and poets. speaking of russian writers i’ve read some works of pushkin, lermontov, tolstoy, turgenev, dostoevsky and mayakovski. their works are world-famous and many books have been translated into other languages. theater is gradually becoming an outdated type of art. on the contrary, cinemas become more popular. there are many great theatres and large cinemas in russia. i think people should respect the work of actors and attend theatres more often. as for me, i don’t really like cinemas. if i want to watch a new movie, i buy and watch it at home. painting is another form of art. museums and art galleries have always attracted me. i think that painting is a rather interesting activity. one of my friends is really good at it. he is going to enter the university of arts after graduating from school. his works include oil paintings and pastel. i really admire his talent. i wish i could be as good at painting as him.
