My Favourite TV Show I’m not a fan of TV, but if there is something interesting on, I watch it with pleasure. Let me tell you a little bit about my favourite show, which I’ve started watching recently. It’s called the Interns. It is a sitcom about four medical students, who need to complete their internship. Basically, they are interns at the large hospital. All of them are funny and nice, each in their own way. However, being young and inexperienced, they often get into stupid situations. Their head, Dr. Bykov, is only happy to see them fail. He is a strict and demanding patron. He also likes playing mean tricks on them. His friend, Dr. Kupitman, often helps him. The chief physician, Anastasia, on the contrary tries to stop them. She helps and supports the interns in every possible way, because one of them is her son. Another noteworthy character in the show is Lyuba – a chief nurse of the therapy department. On the one hand, she tries to help them, on the other – she also likes playing tricks on poor youngsters. All in all the plot of the show is interesting and breathtaking. I can watch these series nonstop. They are usually short and last only for 20 or 25 minutes. Each series is like a separate story, however the characters are the same. One of the main reasons why I prefer this show to others is its medical implication. My dream is to become a doctor in the future, so I try to learn more about this noble profession. Apart from funny parts, there are many useful series, which contain information about common diseases and their treatment. To conclude, I’d like to say that I strongly recommend watching this show if you want to stay in good mood all day long. Моя любимая передача Я не большая поклонница телевидения, но если показывают что-то интересное, то я с удовольствием смотрю. Позвольте мне рассказать вам немного о своей любимой передаче, которую я начала смотреть совсем недавно. Она называется «Интерны». Это комедия о четырех студентах-медиках, которые должны пройти практику. Одним словом, это интерны в крупной больнице. Все они веселые и симпатичные, каждый по-своему. Однако, будучи молодыми и неопытными, они часто попадают в глупые ситуации. Их руководитель, доктор Быков, от души радуется, когда они терпят неудачи. Он очень строгий и требовательный босс. Он также любит над ними подшучивать. Его друг, доктор Купитман, часто ему в этом. Главный врач, Анастасия, наоборот пытается остановить их. Она всячески интернам и поддерживает их, потому что один из них ее сын. Еще одним примечательный персонаж в шоу – это Люба, старшая медсестра отдела терапии. С одной стороны, она пытается им, а с другой - она также любит подшучивать над бедной молодежью. В целом, сюжет шоу интересный и захватывающий. Я могу смотреть эти серии без остановки. Они, как правило, короткие и длятся всего 20-25 минут. Каждая серия, как отдельная история, однако персонажи не меняются. Одной из главных причин, по которым я предпочитаю это шоу другим, является его медицинский подтекст. В будущем я хочу стать врачом, поэтому я стараюсь узнать побольше об этой благородной профессии. Помимо смешных скетчей, в сериале есть и много полезного, например, информация о распространенных заболеваниях и о их лечения. В заключение я хотела бы сказать, что настоятельно рекомендую смотреть эту передачу, если хотите обеспечить себя веселым настроением на весь день.
На английском языкеПеревод на русский long ago there is a tradition in Russia to say “goodbye” to winter and “hello” to spring. The holiday of seeing off of the winter is called Maslenitsa. The concert is held in our city on this matter, the artists sing age-old songs, chastushkas and organize practical jokes. People take part in different competitions, ride horses and drink hot tea with pancakes not to be frozen. The pancakes are the main attribute of this festival because a pancake is a symbol of the sun. The festival always ends in burning of a big man of straw. The Lenten fast begins after Maslenitsa for orthodox believers. On Forgiveness Sunday in the morning my whole family goes on a visit to my grandmother. She bakes the most delicious pancakes with different fillings. In the afternoon I meet with friends and we go to the central square and see street festivities. I consider that this festival brings people together and let them enjoy themselves and meet the spring together.С давних пор на Руси принято провожать зиму и встречать весну. Праздник проводов зимы называется Масленица. У нас в городе по этому поводу проходит концерт, артисты поют старинные песни, частушки и устраивают розыгрыши. Люди участвуют в разных конкурсах, катаются на лошадях и чтоб не замёрзнуть пьют горячий чай с блинами. Блины считаются самым главным атрибутом этого праздника, так как блин символизирует солнце. Праздник всегда заканчивается сжиганием большого соломенного чучела. Для православных людей после масленицы начинается Великий пост. В прощеное воскресенье, мы с утра идём всей семьёй в гости к бабушке. Она печёт самые вкусные блины, делает их с разной начинкой. Днём я встречаюсь с подругами, и мы идём на центральную площадь смотреть народные гулянья. Я считаю, что этот праздник сближает людей и позволяет им вдоволь повеселиться и встретить долгожданную весну вместе.
