Hi
Sarah, what's up?
I'm checking out the college course catalog
for next semester.
Oh really? Which college are you looking at?
I'm looking at Woods College.
They have lots of good courses in the catalog
here.
Woods College? I know that is a very good
school, but it is so far away!
I know! That's true.
Woods College is halfway across the country
from here.
Well, how can you go there?
I mean, you have a job here.
And you have to work to help support your
family.
Are you really contemplating leaving this
city to go study at Woods?
Привет,
Сара, как дела?
Я проверяю каталог курсов колледжа на следующий
семестр.
Да неужели? Какой колледж ты смотришь?
Я смотрю колледж Вудс.
У них здесь в каталоге много хороших курсов.
Колледж Вудс? Я знаю, что это очень хорошая
школа, но она так далеко!
Я знаю! Это правда.
Колледж Вудс находится на другом конце страны.
Ну, как же ты сможешь ездить туда?
Я имею в виду, что у тебя работа здесь.
И ты должна работать, чтобы помочь содержать
свою семью.
Ты действительно собираешься уехать из этого
города, чтобы учиться в Вудсе?

Oh
no! I couldn't leave this city.
After all, I have a job and a family.
Then how can you study there?
Why even bother looking at the catalog?
Because I can take classes through their " Distance
Learning" program.
What's a "Distance Learning" program?
I've never even heard of one of those!
Well, it's kind of new.
"Distance Learning" means that you
can take classes at a college that is in a
different city or state, but you can take
the classes from your home.
How can you take classes from a college if
you don't even live there?
О
нет! Я не могу покинуть этот город.
В конце концов, у меня есть работа и семья.
Тогда как ты сможешь учиться там?
Зачем вообще утруждать себя просмотром каталога?
Потому что я могу посещать занятия по их программе
"Дистанционного обучения".
Что такое программа "Дистанционное обучение"?
Я никогда даже не слышал о таком!
Ну, это кое-что новое.
"Дистанционное обучение" означает,
что ты можешь посещать занятия в колледже,
который находится в другом городе или штате,
но ты можешь посещать занятия из своего дома.
Как ты можешь учиться в колледже, если даже
не живешь там?

DALLAS - KING OF THE SOAPS
My
favourite soap opera by far is none other than
Dallas. Dallas left its mark on a generation of
television viewers like no other soap before it
or since. First shown in 1978 as a five-part mini-series
on the CBS television network, it was so successful
that it continued to be made for more than a decade,
with the final episode being aired in 1991.
Dallas
was in essence the story of a struggle for power
and influence between and among two feuding families,
the Ewings and the Barnes. Always melodramatic
and occasionally absurd, the real strength of
the series lay in the excellence of the characters
and (for the most part) the actors who played
them.
The
character that stood out above all others was
JR Ewing, played by Larry Hagman. JR was the villain
that all other soap opera villains have to measure
themselves against. Unscrupulous, manipulative
and scheming, JR was the man the audience loved
to hate.
Bobby,
his younger brother, played by Patrick Duffy,
could not have been more different. Until he was
killed off, Bobby was a one-dimensional, too-good-to-be-true
character. On his return from death, however,
he had lightened up, become more laid-back and
even learned to enjoy a joke or two.
Bobby's
wife Pamela was played by the beautiful but hardly
enigmatic Victoria Principal. As a Barnes among
the Ewings, Pamela was inevitably torn between
the two camps, caught in the middle, never able
to satisfy either side. It was Pammy who had a
year-long 'dream' during which Bobby was murdered
and she married someone else. When she eventually
'woke up,' Bobby was back and her new husband
had gone. Ridiculous!!
Miss
Ellie had the task of holding together a family
which often seemed to be bursting at the seams.
As played by Barbara Bel Geddes, this was a wonderful
character, but one season she fell ill and had
to be replaced by Donna Reed. In her own way,
Reed was as good an actress as Bel Geddes, but
she was simply wrong for the part. Thankfully
Bel Geddes returned for the following season.
However, as the series continued her declining
health meant that her appearances on screen became
more infrequent towards the end.
Cliff
Barnes was the local Assistant District Attorney
and he always sought to expose JR's corrupt practices.
He later set up a rival oil company called Barnes-Wentworth
and this led to further feuding with the Ewings.
Cliff Barnes was played with great self-assurance
by Ken Kercheval.
The
third brother was Gary though his appearances
were sporadic. He spent most of his time in another
soap, Knots Landing. Gary was played originally
by David Ackroyd but later more notably by Ted
Shackleford. It was also later revealed that the
head rancher at Southfork was also a half brother.
He was Ray Krebbs (played by Steve Kanaly).
The
storyline for which Dallas became most famous
was when JR was shot and we were all kept guessing
before finally discovering it was his wife Sue
Ellen's sister Kristin who did it. Sue Ellen was
a former Miss Texas who becomes a hopeless drunk
after marrying JR. Sue Ellen was played by Linda
Gray, Kristin by Mary Crosby.
The
programme was at one time immensely enjoyable
but the later series were increasingly ridiculous
and the acting suffered. But I'll always remember
those early years when Dallas was the best thing
on television and JR ruled not just Dallas but
the world.
