I must also mention political newspapers, such as "Pravda", "Limonka", etc. They are sold in Russia for those who want to be informed about the peculiarities of the political life of the country.

The Internet is the newest kind of mass media. Only few people in Russia now use it on the regular basis. There are several reasons for that: it is rather expensive, not all places have connection and many people do not have telephones or computers, especially in the village. In the Internet you can now find any kind of information. It can be called a kind of combination of newspapers, radio, TV and computers. All main newspapers and broad¬casting companies have their sites in the Internet. So, you can find there the latest news without buying a paper. It is also possible to subscribe to the electronic version of some British and American newspapers, but you will have to pay for that. One can study English in the Internet. I like to use the Internet, because I can find there any information I want - information about different countries, pop stars' songs and even prepared papers on all topics. Via e-mail and in chat rooms I can communicate with children all over the world. With the help of search engines one can easily find the necessary information. It's a pity we have neither a computer nor the Internet at home.

All the mass media have their advantages. They supply us with political and other important information, entertain and give food for thought. But they also have some disadvantages. You can read your newspaper wherever you want, but you need a radio set if you wan! to listen to it. You can watch TV only in the place with a TV aerial and electricity. You need both telephone and electricity to navigate the Internet But the worst thing about mass media is advertising. They all catch our attention just to get more money for the advertisements. I understand that they have to sell time to buy good films and make programmes, but it is a shame to cut a good film to show soap or beer. One more disadvantage is that information is not always reliable, especially in the Internet.

Hobbies

В данном разделе вы можете ознакомиться с билетами по различным предметам, школьными и экзаменационными топиками по английскому и немецкому языку, конспектами, а также материалами по педагогической практике.

Hobby is an occupation which is not a business done for money. In English hobby is something done during one's leisure time for rest and pleasure. That's why hobbies are so different - all people are different. The English say, «so many men, so many minds» and «tastes differ». These proverbs mean that every man has his or her own likes and dislikes, so, he or she gets pleasure from doing different things.

Some people choose their hobbies on the basis of considering different factors, such as their likes and dislikes, fashion, their financial state and education. Others begin doing something occasionally and finally get stuck to it. Our life now is changeable, and it happens sometimes that one's hobby becomes one's job and vice versa.
