A new theatre
1 Read the following advertisement for a new theatre.
Скоро в столице будет новый театр, где можно будет смотреть разнообразные
спектакли и музыкальные мероприятия. Этот театр красивее и больше, чем
другие в городе, и атмосфера в нём будет лучше.
Открытие театра запланировано на следующий месяц. Первыми спектаклями
будут новые оперы и известные балеты. Всё будет грандиозно!
Наша рекомендация — заказывайте билеты в кассе театра. Так можно выбрать
лучшие места в театре, и билеты не такие дорогие, как через турагентство.

Я обычно не обедаю, у меня нет времени. Днём я стараюсь есть фрукты или
пить кефир, когда получается. А когда не могу, я предпочитаю ничего не есть.
Я занимаюсь спортом тридцать минут по утрам. Вообще, я здоровый человек,
и я не хочу толстеть. На даче, где мы сейчас живём, есть небольшой бассейн.
Мне больше всего нравится там купаться.
Как показал опыт, лучше не бросать спорт. Если ты бросишь — сразу надо
покупать одежду на несколько размеров больше.
Glossary
стараюсь – try
кефир – kefir (a yoghurt-like drink)
