I think friendship is a feeling which can last forever. I am friends with a boy who lives next door. His name is Daniel. In general he is very shy and brainy. I think Daniel will never betray me. I make friends with Daniel because we talk our problems through. Besides, we have a good laugh together and have similar interests. We both like English and Maths. As a friend he is loyal. We play computer games, go on a picnic together, ride a bike, play football and swim in the river. Daniel is my best friend.

   Nowadays television is the main branch of mass media. It appeared much later than newspapers, magazines and radio. The first TV set was constructed in our country not so long ago - it happened in 1949.

   The majority of people watch TV just to relax or to learn some sporting events, to enjoy a good film. Recent events or fresh information are reported over the television. So, people turn on the Russia or NTV Channel to be informed about the latest Russian, European and World News.

   There is one interesting question. Why do teenagers so much time in front of the television screen instead of walking, viziting friends or learning something? It absolutely clear that watching TV for many hours is bad for your eyes.

   It is an absurd idea that television makes you its slave, but some friends of mine are sometimes so attracted to the screen that they don't do their homework till night. Some of them even fail their tests because they watch TV too much, or choose to spend a fine day glued to the rest, rather than go for walks. That's why only a small part of my free time is given to television.

   In my opinion TV is a great force. We must watch television to be well informed.

   В наши дни телевидение является важнейшим средством массовой информации. Оно появилось намного позже, чем газеты, журналы и радио. Первый телевизор был собран в нашей стране не так давно - произошло это в 1949 году.

   Большинство людей смотрят телепередачи исключительно для того, чтобы отдохнуть и узнать спортивные новости, насладиться хорошим фильмом. Информацию о только что произошедших событиях всегда передают по телевидению. Поэтому зрители включают канал "Россия" или "НТВ", чтобы узнать последние новости в России, Европе и мире.

   Существует один интересный вопрос. Почему подростки проводят так много времени перед телеэкраном, вместо того чтобы погулять, сходить в гости к друзьям или выучить что-нибудь? Абсолютно ясно, что многочасовое сидение у телевизора портит зрение.

   Мысль о том, что телевидение порабощает человека, - абсурдна, но некоторые мои друзья подчас так увлекаются, что до самой ночи не садятся за домашние задания. Некоторые из них даже не в состоянии написать текст, так как смотрели телевизор, или предпочтут провести хороший денек, глядя в "ящик", нежели пойти погулять. Вот почему лишь небольшую часть своего свободного времени я посвящаю телевидению.

   На мой взгляд, телевидение - огромная сила. Мы должны смотреть телепередачи, чтобы владеть информацией.
