One day I was walking along the embankment. The weather was not very fine and I decided to go home and to watch TV. But my parents were fond of television and always told that it was their only pleasure. They watched various pop-concerts, comedies and TV series. I could only watch their favorite programs. I always dreamed of watching some educational and cultural programs on TV.
Однажды я прогуливалась по набережной. Погода была не особенно хорошей, и я решила пойти домой и посмотреть телевизор. Но мои родители сходили от телевизора с ума и постоянно говорили мне о том, что это их единственная радость. Они смотрели разнообразные поп-концерты, комедии и телевизионные сериалы. Я могла лишь смотреть их любимые программы. Я всегда мечтала о том, чтобы посмотреть какие-нибудь образовательные и культурные передачи на телевидении.
I came home and learned that my parents were going on holiday. It meant, I could choose any television program I liked. Every evening I watched something entertaining. But I felt very lonely. One evening I switched on my TV and tried to find something interesting for me. I didn`t want to enjoy any education program. I chose a light show to cheer myself up. At that moment I understood my parents. I was seldom at home and they felt very lonely. To cheer them up they chose such programs and they became accustomed to them.
Я пришла домой и обнаружила, что мои родители собрались уехать в отпуск. Это означало, что я могла выбирать любые телевизионные программы, которые мне нравились. Каждый вечер я смотрела что-нибудь развлекательного характера. Но я чувствовала себя одинокой. Однажды вечером я включила мой телевизор и попробовала найти для себя что-то интересное. Я не хотела наслаждаться никакими образовательными программами. Я выбрала легкомысленную шоу-программу, чтобы поднять себе настроение. В тот момент я поняла своих родителей. Я редко бывала дома, и они чувствовали себя очень одинокими. Чтобы взбодрить себя, они выбирали такие программы, и они к ним привыкли.
American society seems to be much more informal.
