Translate the sentences from Russian into English.
1) Сложно отличать правду от выдумки. Поэтому я не люблю документальные и биографические фильмы, потому что режиссеры часто врут в своих фильмах и им нельзя верить. Я люблю фантастику и ужасы, а также романтические комедии. It is difficult to differentiate between truth and lie. So, I don’t like documentaries and biopics because the directors often lie in their films and you shouldn’t believe them. I like science fiction films, horrors and romantic comedies.

2) Я никогда не видела, как кто-то совершает преступление. Но папа стал свидетелем того, как вооруженные грабители напали на магазин. Охранники не заметили, как преступная группировка пробралась в супермаркет. Грабители взяли в заложники всех покупателей и держали их на прицеле. На следующий день я увидела об этом по телевизору и прочитала статью. Грабителям предъявили обвинения, а затем их арестовали. I've never seen anyone commit a crime. But dad witnessed armed robbers attacking the store. Security guards did not notice how the criminal group came to the supermarket. The robbers took all the customers hostage and held them at gunpoint. The next day, I saw it on TV and read the article. The robbers were charged and then arrested.
