Part 1
-It seems that we have an inborn instinct for melody, which was "preinstall" in us before we were born. It's the same instinct we have for language: we can recognise notes and tunes as naturally as we can learn words. That's why melody is very similar to language.
-Pentatonic is a musical scale, which consists of five notes. Every music system shares these five notes in common, so pentantonic scale can be found all over the world. It's important, because we can easily recognise these notes. Enormous numbers of songs of different music styles are based on these notes. They are our genetic inheritance, like five fingers.
-Notes: C - до, D - ре , E - ми , F - фа, G - со, A - ля, H - си
Every musical system has its own number of notes. In Western scale there are twelve notes, other cultures have many more, so it makes notes sound much closer together.
-Pitch (высота) - is a major auditory attribute of musical tones. It discribes how "high" or "low" you want your note to sound.

Part 2
 -"Interval" is the distance between the notes in the melody. "Semitone" is the smallest interval between the notes. "Whole tone" is 2 semito.
- The experiment: He's trying to sing 2 whole tones and then 2 semitones. He claims, that it is easier for people to sing the whole tones rather than semitones.
- The creation of the melody is very similar to the creation of the story, and with playing notes, one by one, it's like you're telling a story, word by word. Storytelling is based on a large amount of archetypes. So it is with tunes. There are ancient patterns and arrangements of notes that function as archetypes for the millions of melodies.
- "Modes" are basic common scales for all cultures.
- The Aeolian mode sounds solemn and sorrowful

Part 3
-Diatonic  - is the specific key which recognized role of each of the 7notes in a sistem of singers or instruments.
-The old notes were strict fixed, and the new are may be played in different ways.
The new notes are more progressive because you can not to play them equally, but you can create your own ways of their playing.

Part 4
-The first tone of the melody is presented in tis basic form. It is not overcomplicated. Than minor key can turn to the major. Some minutes later another melody interrupts the first. Its short and dramatic. By the end of the concerto the melody involves the variations, but we never hear it again so as simple as it was in the beginning.

Part 5
-The dorian mode is the same as in songs of 16th century. He associates ths sound with an industry, that have been around for centures. This songs has roots in very old songs.

Nixon, Nicholas (b. 1947), American photographer. He is known for his extraordinary photographs of ordinary people. I love photography as kind of art. In this picture, the woman's hands hold a child. We do not see what these woman and the child look like. This photo like a symbol of caring, love, protection. For me, it has  one more meaning. Not only the manifestation of love of the parents, but also a manifestation of God's love as  father to people as his children. From this picture breathes warmth and tranquility. There is something to think about.
1) James Cameron was an peculiar child. He read books about science fiction everywhere and he was always absoreved it. He was trying to understand the possibilities and limits of the world. I don't think that he was a very popular, because he lived in his own world. Maybe he had a some friends, who had the same interests as he. I wouldn't have refuse to have the such friend, I like to associate with different people. But I'm not sure that he would have been interesting with me,  in the science fiction - I'm not strong. 
2) I think  the time influenced much on James Cameron's mind, it was  the 60s was the time of new inventions, explorations. At that time James Cameron became assured that there are a lot of secret worlds not only in space, but in this planet also, like fascinating alien-like creatures beneath the ocean, and there is no limit to imagination. Each time has its pluses and minuses. I do not like that nowadays people are living in a hurry, all life goes on the run.

3) Diving and drawing were the most important things for James Cameron when he was young, because he likes the feel of discovery and he could paint whatever he imagine. He was fond of diving also because of the underwater life, unusual creatures.
4) I have seen the both movies, and I can firmly say that these are realy worth seeing. He introduced CG and ILM in these films. It's very impressive.
5)  To my mind, he likes both things. He liked these two things since his childhood. I like these films.
6) The first lesson is that the respect and love of your team is more important then money and success. You wil never buy it. The next thing is that you shouldn't limit yourself, you should do what your heart says, what you eager to do.

1) The rhythm is the beat.  It is the most important element in music.  It drives the music forward.  It is the gasoline of music.
2) The rhythm is come from beat and pulsation.
3) Tempo
4) Swing is one variation of the jazz. Swing uses a strong rhythm section.
