A personal letter
…I have to think about my pocket money all the time.
My parents try to make me earn money by doing the housework. They try to make me save up and then buy something useful. Do you have to “earn” your pocket money in any way or your parents just give it to you? What do you spend your pocket money on? Do you think you are good with money? Why? |

Television
Give a 3 minute talk on
television. Remember to say:
·
what makes people watch TV
·
when watching TV is harmful for a person, give your
reasons
·
what your favourite TV programme is, why
·
which types of TV programmes you don’t watch, why
·
if you think TV
is good in our country, why/why not
·
if TV plays an
important role in our life, why/why not
To begin with, I would
like to say that TV plays a very important part in our lives.

FOR (What makes people watch TV)
1) TV brings the
world to our living-room. We see people in our country and in other lands and
learn of their customs, occupations, and problems. Sometimes TV programmes
become the topics of common interest of the people and
without them they have nothing to talk about.
2) We become better
informed by watching documentaries, science programmes and discussions. TV makes people argue and discuss things,
think and talk more.
3) TV provides great opportunities for
education. There are programmes devoted to specialized subjects. With the
help of TV it is possible to learn foreign languages.
4) We can see great
events which will pass into history. We can see famous people on the screen.
5) TV helps us to
relax after a hard day’s work because it is entertaining.
6) It is a wonderful
way of escaping from our dull reality
because TV involves us in strong emotions: love, hate, passion. Even the
silliest of soaps help us to solve our own problems by showing us what might
happen if we do certain things. A witty
comedy can improve your mood, if you are upset or exhausted.
7) TV can keep
children quiet. If they are noisy, their parents turn on the set.
8) Millions of
disabled [dIs'eIbqld] and elderly people forget
their misery ['mIzqrI] and pain in front of the
TV screen. People who are on their own do not feel lonely if they have TV to watch.
9) Watching your
favourite programmes will lift your
spirits.

работа,
выполненная за один день)

AGAINST (When watching TV is harmful)
1) Some pupils do
their homework in front of the TV screen. Other pupils are so attracted by television that they do not do their homework
at all and they don’t read books.
2) Television is a
terrible waste of time. A lot of people spend hours watching silly Mexican
soap operas and second – rate American films.
3) Television is
like a drug because people get addicted [q'dIktId] to certain TV
series and they simply can’t switch it off. (to addict [q'dIkt] – иметь дурную привычку).
4) TV prevents children from creating their
abilities. Some children have made watching TV their main leisure activity
and they are not enriching their personalities by developing hobbies
and belonging to clubs.
5) TV may lead to
poor health through rushed meals, lack of sleep, and lack of exercise. TV is terribly bad
for people’s eyes. You can suffer from
eyestrain. You can also get a headache or become overweight because you don’t move.
6) People become
lazy because instead of doing sports they watch TV.
7) People stop
communicating. They sit glued to
the TV screen instead of visiting their friends and relatives. In other
words, they are couch potatoes. ( couch [kaVtS] – диван)
8) There are lots of
unsuitable programmes. There is too
much blood and violence on TV. Every day we can watch some bloody reports,
blockbusters or horrors. Children can’t even sleep well after some aggressive
and violent programmes. The violence on TV creates violence in real life.
9) It’s annoying that most programmes are
filled with silly commercials.
