4. Read the poems. Learn them by heart.

Feelings So True

by Mindy Carpenter

You are so much like my mother, My feelings for you are like no other. You are a person I will treasure, Always and Forever. Poems you taught me to write, You are the one who showed me the light. I don't know what I would do, If in my life, I didn't have you. To me, you have been so influential, Keeping things I tell you confidential. You always seem to touch my soul, Without you, I wouldn't feel whole.

Friends

Growing pains Broken chains A sad melody Falling tears Listening ears A friend just for me Reaching out Sharing doubt When life gets me down Hands to clutch Gentle touch Can turn me around

Text a. Press

1. Read, translate the text.

The mass media is an important part in our life. They include press, radio and television. Getting information is one of daily necessities of a human being. Newspapers and various magazines are often call periodicals. We should take into consideration that periodicals are divided into two groups. Some issues are serious or “quality” ones. Others represent newspapers and magazines which help us to relax and have a rest.

As for “quality” periodicals, they give information of current events including the description of home and foreign affairs, political and social problems and news regarding cultural sphere in our country and abroad. A wide range of problems is touched upon in the articles. The majority of articles are addressed to the general reader. Some authors give a description of opinions and impressions of their own. Others report on current events and compare the viewpoints of different political leaders.

Some years ago the majority of people were accustomed to subscribe to several editions. To tell the truth, at present some people can’t afford it. As for my family, we subscribe to the only newspaper – “Arguments and facts”. It is considered to be one of the most popular issues. This newspaper is popular with both young people and grown-ups.

The press in general can be called a mirror of current events. “Arguments and facts” is not an exception. Its editorials and articles contain a lot of interesting information. The articles which are dedicated to the problems of the development of our economy are of great significance. I would like to stress that it gives me a great pleasure to read the articles which are devoted to the so-called youth problems. The articles which give a description of scientific and educational spheres are of paramount importance as well.
