Yours sincerely, Антон Смарт TV entertainment.Сериал: Жизнь вдовца (Everwood) В основном я смотрю комедийные американские сериалы, но эта многосерийная мелодрама мне понравилась с самой первой серии. Вроде бы ничего особенного на первый взгляд в сериале и нет, нет никаких постельных сцен, нет перестрелок и погонь от полиции. Зато ничего так не подкупает, как трогательная атмосфера жизни в небольшом американском городе. Сериал очень печален, казалось бы вот у одной семьи закончилось очередное потрясение, как вот уже назрели внутрисемейные проблемы у второй семьи. Неспокойная жизнь в этих двух семьях является центральным сюжетом сериала. In its second season on The WB, this engrossing series has proven itself to be much more than the average family drama. Unafraid to tackle any subject, the first season of Everwood confronted topics such as teens with sexually transmitted diseases, a husband who was living a lie by hiding his homosexuality from his wife, a minister who was facing sudden blindness and a frightened 18-year-old girl who had decided to have an abortion. Set in a breathtaking small town in the Rocky Mountains, the series' emotional center is the visceral and often heartbreaking relationship between a father and son. to engross - занимать чьё-л. внимание Andrew Brown's (Treat Williams, Hollywood Ending, The Late Shift) own life changed forever the day his loving wife died. Up until then, he was a world-renowned neurosurgeon whose career always overshadowed his obligations as a parent. When he was faced with the daunting task of raising his two kids, pre-teen Delia (Vivien Cardone, A Beautiful Mind) and teenage Ephram (Gregory Smith, The Patriot) by himself, Andrew traded in the New York skyline for the breathtaking vistas of the Rockies to settle in Everwood, Colorado, a charming and picturesque little town tucked in among majestic snowy peaks. up until then - перед этим When Dr. Brown opened a free clinic for the citizens of Everwood, popular opinion was that he had lost his mind, but that didn't stop one local character, Edna (Debra Mooney, Tootsie), from applying for a job as his nurse and office manager. While Edna and her husband, school bus driver Mr. Irv (John Beasley, The Apostle), welcomed Dr. Brown, the person most disturbed by the new clinic was Edna's son and the only other doctor in town, Dr. Harold Abbott (Tom Amandes, television's The Untouchables). Dr. Abbott quickly forbade his teenage children, Amy (Emily VanCamp, Glory Days) and Bright (Chris Pratt) to have anything to do with the Brown family. opinion - мнение Despite Dr. Abbott's attempts to keep the families apart, Ephram Brown fell for Amy Abbott the first time he saw her. He soon learned that she was obsessed with her boyfriend Colin Hart (Mike Erwin), who remained in a coma after a traffic accident left him with a serious brain injury. For Amy, the arrival of Ephram's father - the country's most respected brain surgeon - seemed like a gift from heaven. despite - несмотря на Dr. Brown finally agreed to use his skill to try and repair Colin's brain damage and bring him out of the coma, and the results seemed to be a true miracle. It wasn't long, however, until Colin was suffering from seizures, and Dr. Brown knew that another surgery was needed. This second operation would be even more dangerous than the first, and, as Dr. Brown explained to Colin and his parents, the odds were not good. finally - в заключение На сайте я обнаружил довольно много информации о сериале и другие вещи, например, узнал, что в Америке существует the National Campaign To Prevent Teen Pregnancy программа по предупреждению подростковой беременности. Сейчас я предлагаю посмотреть хитросплетения второго сезона сериала Everwood. Дети и взрослые, и у тех и у других есть серьёзные проблемы, но они почти всегда справляются с ними, причем наиболее успешно вместе со своей семьей. Показ сериала закончился, и остаётся пожелать телекомпании НТВ включать в свою программу побольше таких трогательных до слёз сериалов. In season two, everyone in town must deal with Colin's death. After all the effort he put into convincing the people of Everwood that they could trust and depend on his skills, Dr. Brown is now an outcast, blamed and even hated for the loss of Colin Hart. Watching their father deal with his demons, Ephram and Delia can't help but feel the sting of his guilt in their own lives. When he realizes the pain his children are going through, Dr. Brown makes an effort to move on with his life, but Colin's death will not be forgotten. to deal with- иметь дело с чем-л. Lost in grief, Amy is unable to forgive Dr. Brown, and she eventually acted out her feelings with new, wild behavior that concerned her parents deeply. Colin's death also stands between Amy and Ephram, just as it strains the tenuous friendship Ephram had been forging with Amy's brother, Bright. Another change is the return of Colin's sister Laynie (Nora Zehetner, Song of the Rose) who left boarding school to live at home with her grieving parents. lost in grief - потерянная в горе Also this season, both Ephram and Bright face decisions about college, and both boys find their choices to be at odds with the plans their fathers have for them. Ephram's future as a concert pianist has reached a turning point and became a source of conflict in the Brown family. decision - решение Dr. Brown will continue to offer medical services to the townspeople. He treated a teenage girl when her breast implants rupture, dealt with prescription anti-depressants and discovered a sex club whose surprisingly young participants are not interested in practicing safe sex. As he helped his neighbor, Nina Feeney (Stephanie Niznik, Guardian Angel, Vanishing Son), through her divorce, Dr. Brown became romantically involved for the first time since his wife died, though he worries about the affect his relationship will have on his children. Dr. Abbott also faced changes when his estranged sister, Dr. Linda Abbott (Marcia Cross, Melrose Place) returned from her work abroad to join the family practice. to offer - предлагать From creator/executive producer Greg Berlanti (Dawson's Creek) and executive producer Mickey Liddell (Go), Everwood is produced by Everwood Utah, Inc. in association with and distributed by Warner Bros. Television Production Inc. Обучающие материалы - на мой взгляд оригинальная идея. Почему бы не перинять опыт США и начать производить что-то подобное. Вот например, прошел "Ночной дозор", и выходит в свет пособие по физике, где объясняется, что лампочку нельзя зажечь, просто держа её в руке. Следющий материал взят с сайта http://www.youthmedia.com A C T I V I T Y 1 GETTING THE “THUMBS DOWN” Everwood is a TV series about two families in a small town in Colorado who deal with many of the same issues you and your family face. Dr. Andy Brown and his teenage son, Ephram, often argue about freedom, privacy and family decision-making. Ephram sometimes thinks he knows what’s best for himself and his pre-teen sister Delia.When Ephram first comes to town, he immediately falls for Amy, the daughter of the town’s only other doctor,Harold Abbot. Eventually, he becomes friends with Amy’s brother, Bright. All three teens and, in fact, all of Everwood’s residents, do the best they can, make mistakes, and try to correct them—just like real people. The teens on Everwood are just like you—they have to make decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. As Ephram, Amy and Bright look at their college prospects, they are taking their first steps toward deciding about careers. The characters also face situations that may be similar to yours. Ephram has been told he is not a good enough pianist to get into Juilliard, one of the country’s best music schools. Bright has been turned down by every college to which he has applied. He let his grades slip and was thrown off the football team, so he also lost out on the football scholarship he had been counting on. Think about how you would feel in each of the situations described above, then answer the following questions. PART A.What if, like Bright on Everwood, you
were turned down by every college or
training program to which you applied? List five words or
phrases that describe how you would feel: What five things would you do to deal with these feelings? List
some practical next steps you might take: PART B.Have you ever been
fired or laid-off
from a part-time job? What did you learn
from the experience? Draft a short e-mail
to a friend who was just fired from his or
her first job.What would you tell your
friend that he or she could learn from the
experience to turn a negative into a
positive? PART C.When Ephram first moves to Everwood,
he is immediately attracted to Amy, and
thinks that she feels the same way about him. Then he finds out
that she is trying to get close to him so that Dr. Brown,
Ephram’s father, will operate on her boyfriend. He feels
disappointed and betrayed.
Often, feelings and intentions are misunderstood, and someone
gets hurt. Think of a time when you found out that someone you
liked didn’t feel the same way about you.When you realized this,
how did you feel? What did you do as a result? issue - разногласие At the end.На этом мой выпуск завершен. Всего доброго и до новых встреч! Любые предложения, замечания и комментарии принимаются по этому адресу.
