Television in Our life  

 

Television now plays an important role in our life. It is difficult to say if it is good or bad for us. It is clear, that television has advantages and disadvantages.  

 

But are there more advantages than disadvantages? In the first place, television is an entertainment. But it is not only a convenient entertainment. For a family of three, four or five, for example, it is more convenient and less expensive to sit comfortably at home than to go out to find entertainment in other places. They don't have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre or cinema. They turn on the TV-set and can watch interesting films, concerts, football matches.  

 

But some people think that it's bad to watch TV. Those who watch TV need do nothing. We are passive when we watch TV. Television shows us many interesting programmes. But again there is a disadvantage here: we watch TV every evening, and it begins to dominate our lives.  

 

My friend told me that when his TV-set broke down, he and his family found that they had more time to do things and to talk to each other. There are other arguments for and against television.  

 

Very often the programmes are bad. Sometimes they show too much violence in films and news programmes. There is also too much pop music and ads. Ads on the whole are convenient for grown-ups. But is it good for children to watch all those ads where they show all kinds of underwear and what not?

У меня есть кот. Ему примерно год, его зовут Тоша, и он замечательный! У него медово-желтые глаза и розовый носик. Шерсть Тоши белая, длинная и пушистая. Мой кот очень красивый, добрый и ласковый. Он любит играть с игрушками и спать где-нибудь в теплом местечке, например, на своей подушке у батареи. Когда я делаю уроки, он любит сидеть у меня на коленях, а иногда садится на стол и внимательно смотрит в мой учебник и тетрадь. Такое впечатление, что мой кот умеет читать - так внимательно он смотрит!

Mr. Mills asked James if he had already written to the University of Madrid. James apologized and said he hadn't had time. Mr. Mills said there was no point in apologizing to him. He added that James had to apply early because they filled their places very quickly. James explained that he was afraid not to pass his Spanish exam. Mr. Mills asked if James had been working hard.  James affirmed it and added that he was much better at French and he had hoped to apply to Paris. Mr. Mills agreed that James was better at French and asked James if Mr. Mills put his name down for Sorbonne would James write that night.  James promised to write as soon as he got home.
