#ПОНАЗАИМСТВОВАЛИ
⠀
🧐 Одни, услышав «насвопленный пиджак», с пониманием дела одобрительно кивают, другие делают круглые глаза и задают вопрос: «Простите, какой пиджак?»
⠀
🔁 НАСВОПЛЕННЫЙ (имя прилагательное) означает полученный на мероприятии по обмену одежды или на свопе (от английского swap - обмениваться).
⠀
✔️Это сейчас в тренде. «Виной» всему - осознанное отношение к одежде, стремление продлить качественную жизнь вещей.
⠀
🤝 Своп - это мини-вечеринка, на которой люди бесплатно (!) обмениваются хорошими, но уже ненужными, при этом, как правило, качественными вещами.
⠀
♻️ Принимая участие в таких мероприятиях, мы даём вторую жизнь вещам, тем самым, кстати, внося свою лепту в поддержку окружающей среды.
Вещи из дешевых материалов быстро отправляются на свалку, к тому же лежат там десятилетиями, так как сделаны из искусственных материалов

🎥 Let's speak about movies

🎭Actors
We like to see our favourite actors playing a character – even a minor character – in films, whether these are in lead roles (=main roles), or supporting roles (not main roles).

🏆Every year, the Oscars gives awards to lead actors and supporting actors, but never to the extras (the actors who play people in a crowd, often without a speaking part.)

🎬Other people and things

Then we like to see who the director or producer is, the screenwriter who wrote the screenplay (the script that the actors speak) and who composed the soundtrack (the music background in the film).

📰We'll read film reviews to find out more about the plot (or storyline) and how good the lighting, cinematography (art of shooting the film) or costumes are.

🎞We might even watch a trailer (short extract from the film) to see the special effects.
