- What performances do these people like and dislike? (reading/listening for specific information)
I can’t say that I like opera very much. The music is usually marvellous but it is dull to watch it. Usually it is very complicated and it is difficult to find your way in it.
I do like theatre. I prefer comedies. They put me in a joyful mood. Usually I am so involved in the action that I forget that I am watching a play.
I should say that I enjoy ballet very much. When you watch ballet you understand the beauty of a human body. Some people say that it is a drag but I don’t agree with them. It is the most exciting thing in the world. It does make a great impression.
As for me I do enjoy operetta. It is so cheerful, magnificent and splendid. Some people say it is light-minded but I don’t think so. It teaches sincerity and makes me happy.
