One of the most valuable things in life is friendship. It is extremely important for people to have someone, who they can trust. It isn’t difficult to find friends, but not everyone can stay for a lifelong period. Those, who stay, become the closest people for us. Usually people meet, get acquainted, communicate and as a result become friends. However, only time can show, whether the friendship is strong or not. For me friendship is not only communication, but support, understanding and sympathy. If your friends are real, they never betray you, they never leave you in trouble, they always listen to your problems and try to help when needed. I have lots of good friends, but two of them are the best. Their names are Lana and Rita. I can always rely on them and share my thoughts with them. We spend lots of time together. I simply can’t imagine life without these people. They make my life brighter and more interesting. When I’m bored, I can always phone my friends and ask them to come over. Sometimes we go to the cinema, sometimes to the theatre or to the museum. For me they are a part of my family. I fully trust them and I know that they would do anything for me. For example, Lana has once saved my life. When we were both twelve, we went to swim in the lake. While we were swimming, I had a leg cramp. Nobody noticed that I couldn’t swim to the shore, but Lana did and she helped me to get out. Such things can happen to anyone, so we always try to be caring and attentive to each other. I know that it’s not easy to find a real friendship. I have met lots of false friends as well. So, now I try to appreciate the relations I have with my true friends.

The influence of television on people’s life and behavior is great. Things have been absolutely different before this electronic appliance entered everyone’s homes. Today, it is an integral part of our lives. However, computers and Internet gradually displace TV sets. People have started watching all TV shows, soap operas, movies and news reports online. 

On average, they spend over 26 hours a week watching TV. It is not only a source of entertainment, but also of information and education. Many people are against this tool. They say that TV brings too much violence, irrelevant and unnecessary information into their homes. There is no doubt that TV is a convenient device and comparatively cheap pleasure. For example, for a family of 4 it is cheaper to stay at home overnight and watch a funny show or a football match, than to go out to the cinema or sports bar. But this is where danger lies. TV viewers become extremely passive. They move less, gaining excessive weight, eyesight and back problems. Moreover, they become passive absorbers of information. 

They have no choice, they just accept what they see and hear, while the information can be fictional or fabricated. For some people TV became an addiction. They can’t imagine living a day without it. Others try to spend less time in front of the screens and they find much more time to do other things, such as meeting up with friends, playing tennis, going to the gym, reading a book. The effect of TV can be rather negative on children. There is so much inexplicable cruelty that they might accept it as standard behavior. There are many other pros and cons of TV, but in my opinion it should be used
