VIOLENCE BREEDS VIOLENCE
Nowadays the number of crimes involving violence is growing in almost all countries in the world. The main cause of this development is undoubtedly the use of drugs especially in large cities. The higher rate of unemployment and growing racism are significant reasons too. Meaningless murders and assaults are the frightening results. Nowadays we can see how people not only in countries like the United States, but also in countries like Sweden, arm themselves with weapons for protection, but violence breeds violence.
It is often claimed that an efficient way to lower the number of acts of violence is to have more sever sentences. However, people who commit these crimes often have serious social and psychological problems. Many of them may therefore be indifferent to how severe the sentences are. Besides, these criminals do not think that they will ever get caught. Because of these reasons, there is a doubt that acts of violence will decrease if the governments make the sentences for this type of crime more severe.
A common measure to reduce the acts of violence is to increase the number of policemen patrolling the streets. Although this is a good way of preventing acts of violence, it will not actually stop people from becoming criminals.
Some people are convinced that it is impossible to erase the violence related criminality completely, but there is a way in which it can be reduced considerably. Children should be informed about crimes related to violence and drugs. This information should be given in kindergarten as well as in elementary school. Furthermore, it should especially reach those children who live in areas with high crime rates. The information should take the form of a discussion, not a lecture, led by some expert, preferably a local police officer.
Hopefully, the children would then at an early age already have some understanding of these problems that would be valuable to them for the rest of their lives. Although the costs for such a project would be considerable, the benefits would be great. It would certainly prevent many from becoming violent criminals in the future.

НАСИЛИЕ ПОРОЖДАЕТ НАСИЛИЕ
В настоящее время количество преступлений с применением насилия растет почти во всех странах мира. Основной причиной этого развития, несомненно, является использование наркотиков, особенно в крупных городах. Более высокий уровень безработицы и растущий расизм также являются значительными причинами. Бессмысленные убийства и нападения-пугающие результаты. Сегодня мы можем видеть, как люди не только в таких странах, как Соединенные Штаты, но и в таких странах, как Швеция, вооружаются оружием для защиты, но насилие порождает насилие.
Часто утверждается, что эффективный способ снижения числа актов насилия заключается в более строгом отбывании наказания. Однако у людей, совершающих эти преступления, часто возникают серьезные социально-психологические проблемы. Поэтому многие из них могут быть безразличны к тому, насколько суровы приговоры. Кроме того, эти преступники не думают, что их когда-нибудь поймают. Из-за этих причин есть сомнения в том, что акты насилия уменьшатся, если правительства сделают приговоры за этот вид преступления более суровыми.
Общей мерой по сокращению числа актов насилия является увеличение числа полицейских, патрулирующих улицы. Хотя это хороший способ предотвращения актов насилия, на самом деле это не помешает людям стать преступниками.
Некоторые люди убеждены, что невозможно полностью стереть преступность, связанную с насилием, но есть способ, с помощью которого ее можно значительно сократить. Детей следует информировать о преступлениях, связанных с насилием и наркотиками. Эта информация должна быть предоставлена в детском саду, а также в начальной школе. Кроме того, она должна охватывать прежде всего тех детей, которые живут в районах с высоким уровнем преступности. Информация должна иметь форму обсуждения, а не лекции, которую должен вести какой-то эксперт, предпочтительно местный полицейский.
Надеюсь, что дети тогда в раннем возрасте уже имеют некоторое представление об этих проблемах, которые будут ценны для них на всю оставшуюся жизнь. Хотя затраты на такой проект будут значительными, выгоды будут значительными. Это, безусловно, помешает многим стать насильственными преступниками в будущем.

On April 23, 1564 William Shakespeare was born in Stratford - upon - Avon. His mother was the daughter of a farmer. His father was a glove - maker. William attended a grammar school in Stratford and had quite a good education. There he learned to love reading.
While he was a teenager, he married a woman some years older than himself. He had three children: the eldest is the daughter and then twins – a son and another girl. In 1587 William went to work in London leaving his family at home. Some people say that the reason was his love of poetry and theatre.
In London Shakespeare began to write plays and become an important member of a well - known acting company. Most of his plays were performed in the new Globe Theatre built on the bank of the river Thames. In 1613 he stopped writing and went to live in Stratford when he died in 1616. His plays are well - known and still acted not only in England but in the whole world.

HOLLYWOOD: LIFE AND TIMES
At the start of the 20th century, a new city was beginning to grow on some flat land near the sea in southern California; its name was Los Angeles - the name of the old Spanish mission that had been there for many years.
At the same time, a new industry was just being born; the cinema. In America, they talked of "motion pictures", but this soon became shortened to "movies".
America’s movie industry began life in New York; but by 1910, movie-makers were moving to Los Angeles. In New York, everything was too expensive; workers, land, taxes. Worse than that, it was difficult to make movies in winter, because it was too cold.
By contrast, the Los Angeles region was full of advantages. In California, they could make films all through the year; and everything was cheaper. In particular, there was lots of land for sale.
The movie-makers found what they needed a few miles outside Los Angeles; and before long, large new studios were being built in an area called Hollywood, at the foot of some small dry hills.
Movies quickly became very popular, particularly after "talkies" first appeared in 1925. Nevertheless, movies were expensive to make, and film companies needed money - lots of it. For this reason, Hollywood rapidly became dominated by a small number of big companies such as MGM, 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros. and Paramount.
Since then, the big companies have had their ups and downs, but most of them are still there. Some old names have disappeared, but some new ones have appeared, companies like Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg’s company Amblin.
Naturally, Hollywood has changed a lot in 80 years! Today the biggest studios belong to huge international firms. For instance, News Corporation, which now owns Fox, also owns newspapers on three continents (including the Times of London), and satellite TV networks in America, Europe and Asia.
It is only huge companies like Fox that can afford to make today’s very expensive films; and for Titanic - which was at the time the most expensive film ever - Fox had to get help from another big company, Paramount!
Once Hollywood could make films just for America; today it has to make them for the world. The suburb of Los Angeles has become the headquarters of a global dream-machine. Perhaps we dreamed differently in the past. Today, thanks in part to Hollywood, people everywhere have similar dreams.
We now live in the age of global culture. Hollywood did not invent this culture - but for better or for worse, it has become one of the most powerful elements in it. Like it or not, we all now live on planet Hollywood.
