Nowadays, theater isn't very popular. Many young people think it's serious and boring. They prefer to go to the cinema. There are also teenagers who love theater. They claim it's so interesting and inspiring. In my opinion, theater can be greatly attractive for young people.
The first advantage of theater is availability. They are generally available to everyone. There are many theaters, not only in big cities. They can also be located in smaller towns. Tickets are sold stationary or online and are't that as expensive as everyone think.
Secondly, the repertoire in theaters is really diverse. There are a lot of kinds of performance and plays. The plays are staged on different days and at different times. Everyone is able to find something right for themselves that will please us.
On the other hand, theaters are less attractive than for example cinemas. In the theater scene are less special effects. In theater, actors are also play live and unfortunately, young people are addicted to screens.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that the theater can be attractive to young people. We, teenagers should be open to these forms of culture. It can teach us a lot and show us awesowe and new things.

First of all, young people think theater is for an adult and it is boring. In primary school they usually were going to watch a performance of a set book. Teenagers do not like when someone pressures them to do something like reading set books which are usually not interesting. Therefore young people do not like theaters because they are bad associates.
Moreover teenagers do not perceive theater as something to do for fun, because there are nothing attractive to them. They prefer to stay at home watch a movie or hang out with their friends.
Hardly any teenager of their own chooses going to theater although there are a few who like watching performances. In theaters there are so many kinds of interesting plays. Everyone could find something to themselves.
All in all, teenagers do not choos theater with as good grace as cinema. I think the majority of performances are difficult to understand and there are for more mature people. Therefore to understand them young people could watch them.

Telephone - lost on our roads.
Nowadays people cannot imagine life without telephones. Phones are used for gameplay, but they can also be dangerous because they can distract us. This distraction can be especially dangerous on the road. With the "Smart Stop" campaign, we want to stop this growing problem. It is said that every fourth road accident is caused by the telephone. In order to implement this "Smart Stop" project, we would like to invite you to a meeting where you can learn more about this problem. The meeting will be held on Wednesday at 18.00 in the Town Hall. The purpose of the meeting is to make people aware of the dangerous nature of talking on the phone while driving. It is also supposed to make pedestrians aware that writing while crossing the road or walking on the pavement may cause an accident, because our eyes are focused on the phone and not at what is happening in front of us. Poles are often unaware of the risk of using a telephone in road traffic. The "Smart Stop" campaign has already visited many cities and makes more and more people aware of this danger. In my opinion, this project will brighten people's mind and if it goes well in a short time, we will be able to say goodbye to the problem of road accidents by phone.

Nowadays theatre is less popular than cinema. Young people aren't watching plays because they are thinking this is for adults and it is boring. However in my opinion theatres are having uncommon potential.
Firstly the theater offers us a diverse repertoire in which everyone will find something for themselves. This diversity means that theater transmits many values to us. Each play is going to encourage us to think about a specific problem.
Secondly theater is attractive for young people because they are having a change to try themselves as actors. Acting in plays have many advantages.
Playing plays helps us improve our self-confidence and it is a good start for people who dream of an acting career.
On the other hand we are used to the dynamic entertainment and theater seems boring to us. It is to slow for young people. Teenagers are chosing films in cinemas because they love special effects which movies are offering to them. Movies offers to us much more opportunities to create storylines and scenography.
All in all theatres are having a lot of special attributes which are not visible in cinema but they are old-fashioned. In my opinion theatre may be attractive for young people but it will not be easy.

Nowadays a lot of road participants use smartphones. This behaviour is unacceptable and high dangerous, so city council decided to create a campaign in which I also participated. This campaign took place 2 days ago in Zduńska Wola.
The campaign's goal was to make people aware how irresponsible is drive car and use phones at the same time. We had to prepare surveys to show you only real results, that’s where it started. It turned out that over 70% of people use smartphones when they drive. Our next step was organised place in town hall for you and prepare the presentation. When we had everything ready, we announced on the city page and Facebook when the event will take place. A lot of people showed up what surprised me positively. We told you about the dangers and what smartphones cause. The mobile phones distruct us and we are not able to react quickly enough on the road in an emergency. Using telephones may result in a fine.
In my opinion, it is a huge problem these days and such campaigns are so needed to make people aware. On the road, not only yours life is important, but also other road users and we cannot forget about it. I am very proud that my city brings up such an important topics.

Theatre is a place where older people spend their time. At this place we can find actors who play many performances. Many young people think that is boring and they are not interested in it at all. We can also find younger people who's going there too. Nowadays theatre can be attractive for younger society.
The first argument is that in theatre we can see a few different performances whatever we want to see. There are so many categories of performance . Everyone can find something interesting for them.
The second argument is that theatre can provide a few funny moments. People like laughing that's why they will go there. Laughs make people happy and they feel much better.
The third argument shows us what exactly people do when they are bored. They are trying to find something new what takes up their free time.
The last one argument is about young people who want to train more. They are investing their time to go to the theatre and watch some amazing performance.
In conclusion, I think young people also can consider that theatre is an attractive place. They are interested in it because they can find many genres. They can also learn much because of many performances and they can draw inspiration therefrom.

Nowadays, most of teenagers treat theater as something strange and boring. A lot of theater’s plays are too serious and can’t interest youth. Most of teenagers prefer other more interesting form of entertainment. In my opinion theater is not for everybody and can’t be attractive for young people.
Firstly, theater has a lot of competitors such as cinemas or dance performances. Naturally, theater is less attractive for teenagers than for example cinemas. Common teenager would pick to go to the cinema, meet with friends or stay at home and watch something on TV. Also, cinemas have wider repertoire than theaters, which make cinemas more interesting than theaters.
Another theater’s difficulties are price and availability. Tickets for the plays could be too expensive for common teenager. Also, good theaters are placed only in big cities, so for somebody from smaller town it could be too expensive and too long tour to go. Also, tickets for cinemas are a lot of cheaper than tickets for theaters, so youth with limited budget will pick the cinema. Additionally in pandemic times a lot of people prefer watching things on the Internet, where we can watch plays or films for free.
Summarizing, most of young people didn’t view theaters as something interesting and fascinated. Plays bring up heavy problems, which are boring for young people. I think theaters are entertainment mainly for older people.

Nowadays, theater serves for both entertainment and educational purposes. Many people are eager to usw it, unfortunaltely young people are much less likely to do it than adults. I think theater can be attractive to us, young people, as well as to the elderly. You just need to be properly encouraged to convince people to be curious about a given art.
Much of the school reading is often presented on stage. After the student has read a given book, he or she can watch its interpretation on the Internet. However, a much better experience is to see a play like this live in a theater. I think it would be very interesting to put on shows that would show situations from our teenager life that happen every day.
There are more theaters in large cities than in smaller ones. Traveling many kilometers to a place where we could see a spectacle can be a problem for many young people. Small towns sholud try to invite theater groups to their, place, so that they can exhibit their worsk, for example in the town hall. Ticket prices after the student discount should not be that high. I think such facilities would greatly encourage young people.
For many of us, theater can be attractive, it is enough to encourage us of course, there are many situations that my favor us attending such plays. Young people should develop as much as possible. The theater is the best place for that.

Firstly, we can see various performances in the theater. There are many possibilities, a lot of categories of performance. We can choose what we like and what we are interested in. Each performance deals with the topic of daily life, but there are also comedies, it give us a lof of topic for discussion.
Secondly, we have direct contact with actors by contrast to cinema or TV. We have contact with many people with whom we can share our impressions. We can also see how other people respond to performance.
On the other hand, not every teenager can afford a ticket, which is more expensive than ticket in the cinema. Not everyone has the opportunity to go to the theatre, because it is not available in every city.
All in all, I feel that it will be possible to encourage teenagers to go to the theatre, they choose themselves what performance they want to go, anyone shouldn’t force them.

Firstly, theater offers a lot of plays, so everyone can find something for themselves. Youngers, olders, fans of comedy and fans of old classics, people who want to have fun and people who would like to experience some play deeper. Everyone can choose the type of theater and the play played there. Secondly, the spectacles are accompanied by an amazing atmosphere, because it is something completely different than watching something on the screen. It is different to watch a previously edited film than to watch actors who play live in front of our eyes. Then we see all their emotions and sometimes even small mistakes or improvisations.
Additionally, one must not forget that young people still broaden their horizons and the theater allows them to do so. It develops imagination and teaches creativity. The stereotypes that adolescents are doing nothing but looking at their smartphones are wrong. They like to develop their artistic side and they do it in many different ways. There are also young people who are interested in acting, they would like to do it in the future. For them theater is a place from which thay can draw a lot of inspiration and learn new things.
On the other hand, for some young people theater is a bit boring. They prefer to watch series on a laptop in their room and in comfortable clothes than go to a play where they cannot eat, drink and have to sit for several hours.
All in all, everyone has different interests, theater may have many fans, but also people who simply prefer something different. However, I believe that it does not depend on age, theatre fans are both older and younger and it will certainly stay this way for a long time.

Firstly, repertoire include performances for every age group. There are both serious plays and comedy. The performances are play every day, sometimes a few times, and on different times. Without a doubt, everyone find something to themselves. Secondly, theaters are easy accessible. There are practically in every city. Even in small towns we find performances organised by for example community centre. Thirdly, in theater take place a live performance, not on screen. We can see actors on stage. Sometimes theaters offer an “improvisation performances”. During this kind of play, we can see how actors manage when they are totally unprepared. It is definitely very interesting experience.
On the other hand, tickets to theater are not cheap. There are definitely more expensive than tickets to the cinema. Moreover, in theater we can’t see special effects, which we can see on films.
All in all, I think that theater has more advantages than disadvantages. I believe that it can be attractive for young people. However, they should decided about this on their own, without a pressuring from others.

Going to the theatre may seem old-fashioned and dull for young people. Most of them prefer cinemas or other forms of spending free time. However, theatre have also supporters among teenagers. I am convinced that this culture institution can be attractive for young people.
Firstly, many theatres have a really diverse programme. Theatres offer really nice comedies or various improvisation plays as well as musicals and dramas. Furthermore, theatres try to develop and also adjust to the young people. Everyone can find something for oneself. When I was a child, teachers usually used to organise school trips to the theatre for some boring plays. It could have been discouraging.
Secondly, theatres are generally available for everyone. There are many theatres in the city, but we can also find a theatre in a small town. We can buy a ticket online as well as inside of the theatre. Nowadays, most of people can afford to go to the theatre and if I were parent, I would not refuse to give money for my child, if my child would like to go to the theatre.
On the other hand, so many people prefer other forms of entertainment for example going to the cinemas or watching television in home because this is less demanding and more convincing for them. For example, they do not have to worry about elegant outfit, which is necessary in the theatre.
Taking all the arguments into consideration, theatre can be attractive for young people. I think that adults should encourage teenagers and children to going to the theatre and choose for them more interesting plays.

I reckon that present isolation has been an opportunity which was seized by the culture. As I mentioned in the very last paragraph, the theatre was looking itself among the Internet just like every other business. Consequently, a considerable amount of dramas have appeared on platforms like Spotify, YouTube and Facebook, with an increasing number of young recipients. It is worth noting that, the theatre seems to understand it has to find subsequent consignees via the websites.
Moreover, repertoires have been changed in order to ensure popularity within teenagers. It should be noted that, minority of them are interested in oldish perception of the World, which could be found in ancient-based performances. To my mind actors comprehend social changes and the number of spectacles about modern reality is still growing. As far as I am concerned, it is going to be a constantly increasing trend, because not only can you raise the amount of young viewers, but also profit.
Summing up, the theatre is becoming more and more attractive for teenagers. The culture seems to be keen to change and adapt for contemporary demands. In my opinion, the youth are able to see art amends and increasingly get into the theatre

Firstly, in theater we can meet a lot of actors, who appear in many movies on TV. Young people like to meet famous people. They often take photos with them. It's a really good way to meet your idol.
Secondly, in theater a lot of performances can teach young people a lot of important things. They show us how we should treat our friends. They cover addiction issues. It is an everyday problem so young people are interested in them.
On the other hand a lot of performances have old scenarios and they go on too long. Because of these young people get bored quickly and they don't focus on show, so they don't want to go to theater again.
Moreover, there aren't any special effects in theater, which would be of interest to young audiences. Additionally, scenery doesn't change, so every thing is happening in one background.
All in all, in my opinion theater can be interesting for young people, but it must be modernized.

1) Taking the dog to work is an issue which frequently generates a great deal of heated debate within the society. Some people advocate of this behaviour. However, sceptics point out that taking your dog to work is not a great solution.
One very convincing argument in favour of taking the dog to work is the fact that contact with pet has a positive effect on the mood of employees. This is clearly illustrated by the fact that (as research shows) pet owners suffer from depression less often. An additional advantage of taking the dog to work is your dog is not forced to miss you at home and waiting for you when you finish your work as well as dog owners also do not have possibility miss their dog.
The most serious negative aspect of being the dog in workplace is the fact that dog also can irritate employees and pay their attention completely unnecessary. Employees may have a problem with focusing on their work’s duties. Last but not least disadvantage of taking the dog to work is the fact that dogs usually need a lot of attention. Dogs want to play with others and these pets can make a lot of noise by barking. If you take your dog to your workplace, you will have to stop working and going outside with your dog.
Taking all the arguments into consideration, the obvious conclusion to be drawn is that there is evidence that taking the dog to work provide some benefits. However, there are also a lot of drawbacks of being the dog in workplace. Personally, I am convinced that it is not a good idea.

I used to think the same way until I went with my classmates to watch a spectacle called ,,Romeo and Juliet". At first, right when the show started I didn't want to watch it, but when it really started I enjoyed it more than being at the cinema. There are real actors acting on the stage, so it's much more realistic than what we see in movies. What's more, more and more theatres involve audience in their plays. For example there can be an interactive show in which actors take a person or a few people from the crowd on the stage and include them in the story. Playhouses are available for everyone . As a matter of fact not every town has its own theatre, but I'm sure you have one in your neighbourhood.
I reckon theatres can be really attractive and if the plot is good a performance can be better than a film in a cinema. You can feel like you are included, and you take part in all the adventures. I recommend it to everyone who has never been to a theatre or who thinks that it's a boring and unattractive place.
