  1. Read the text and translate it and answer the questions in writing: Television in modern life

Modern television offers the viewers several programs on different channels. In addition to regular newscasts one can see plays and films, operas and ballets and watch all kinds of contests, TV quiz shows and sporting events. One can also get a lot of useful information on the educational channel. A good serial (a detective story or a screen version of a classical novel) can keep the whole family in front of the telly for days.

Television most definitely plays a very important part in people’s lives.

But is this a good thing or a bad one? Haven’t we become lazier because of television? Don’t we go out less than we used to? Don’t we read less? Aren’t we turning into TV-addicts? Aren’t we ruining our health by spending a lot of time glued to the screen?
