TITANIC
(1) It was a big international hit. It made $1.8 billion and it won
eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
The film was expensive to make, and it included many computer-
generated images. (2)
It tells the story of two passengers from different social classes. Rose
is a seventeen-year-old rich girl. (3) On the ship she meets Jack
Dawson, a third-class passenger. (4) But tragically, the ship sinks
and Jack dies.
The love story between the two main characters is fictional. (5)
Some people, like Margaret Brown, who tried to save other
passengers, were very famous in real-life.
In 2010, the director, James Cameron, made another best-selling
film, Avatar. (6) That's why Cameron is such a famous
Hollywood name!​

I want to describe the picture of Graham Children, written in 1742 by William Hogarth. The painting depicts four children, watching the bird. Moreover, if younger children are passionate about what is happening and lively react to it, the older girls are frankly posing for the artist, there is no childish innocence in their characters. The boy is  playing on a mechanical organ, probably to improve the birds singing. The baby is sitting on chair near the basket with flowers. The cat on the back of the chair is enchanted by watching the bird  in a locked cage. The clock on the mantelpiece, decorated with the figure of Cupid with a plait, is next to a sandglass. These symbols of death, probably,  is not accidental. It was known that when the artist had been painting the picture, the baby was no longer alive.  After careful examination of the picture  you begin to feel anxiety:  a sinister subtext is hidden under a visible (seeming) tranquillity. Although the children are exposed to light, the world directly behind them is dark and threatening(ominous). Hogarth makes it clear that only ignorant (inexperienced) in life can smile with such confidence because they do not understand the signs that inexorable time sends to them. It opens the hidden  matter of the painting - the fragility and uncertainty of human being.

Dear Olga!

I've just received a letter from you! I am so glad to hear that you have entered the university you wanted! Congratulations to you and to your family. As for me, I’ve started yoga classes two weeks ago. Yoga turned out to be really cool! Of course I can't do all the asanas that our instructor does but I try, I really try to do my best. If I improve enough, the coach would take me to India to attend authentic yoga courses. By the way, how are your training sessions going? I've seen the pics – you are the one true champion! I’m sure you’re up to winning lots of medals this season!

Give my best regards to your mom,

Yours,
Kate 

Дорогая Ольга!

Я только что получила твое письмо! Я так рада, что ты поступила в тот университет, в который хотела. Мои поздравления тебе и твоим родным. Что касается меня, я две недели назад начала заниматься йогой. Йога, оказывается, — это очень классно! Разумеется, я не могу выполнить все асаны, которые под силу нашему инструктору, но я стараюсь, очень стараюсь. Если я достаточно продвинусь, тренер сможет взять меня в Индию, чтобы посетить аутентичные курсы йоги. Кстати, как проходят твои тренировки? Я видела фотографии — ты настоящий чемпион! Уверена, что в этом сезоне ты заработаешь много медалей!

Передавай горячий привет своей маме,

Всегда твоя,
Кейт
