Lesson 32.
B: The plane, of course; it’s only two flying hours to Kharkiv from here. Without any intermediate landings, non-stop service.
A: Is it flying weather today?
B: It is flying weather, certainly. There is no mist, no storm, nothing to prevent any flights.
A: I wonder what is the fare ?
B: The price of a ticket is the same as in a second-class carriage. But think how quicker you will reach your destination.
A: That’s quite true. But I’m rather afraid to be air-sick.
B: No need to worry at all. With these modern planes on the line, you’re sure to get along very fine.
A: Well, then I think I’ll book my ticket and go there by plane.
B: And perfectly right you are in deciding so. I wish you good luck.
A: When does the plane take off?
B: Precisely at midnight.
A: Is it far to the airport?
B: Rather. It’s out of town.

dramas, comedies, soap operas, sporting events, cartoons, quizzes, variety shows, and motion pictures.
Commercial TV stations broadcast mostly entertainment programs because they must attract larger number of viewers in order to sell advertising time at high prices. Advertising is an important part of commercial TV. Advertisement appears between and during most programs.
Public television focuses mainly on education and culture. There are programs on wide range of subjects—from physics and literature to cooking and yoga. Public TV also broadcasts plays, ballets, symphonies, as well as programs about art and history. Public TV attracts less viewers than commercial TV.
Newspaper is a publication devoted chiefly to presenting and commenting on the news. Newspapers can be daily and weekly, they print world, national and local news. Newspapers provide an excellent means of keeping well informed on current events, they also play a vital role in shaping public opinion.
Newspapers have certain advantages over the other major news, media-television, radio, and newsmagazines. For example, newspapers can cover more news – and in much greater detail – that can television and radio newscasts. Newsmagazines focus on chief national and international news.
Magazine is a collection of articles or stories – or both – published at regular intervals. Magazines can be weekly or quarterly. Most magazines usually contain a lot of illustrations.
Magazines provide a wide variety of information, opinion, and entertainment. For example, they may cover current events and fashions, discuss foreign affairs, or describe how to repair appliances or prepare food. Subjects addressed in magazines include business, culture, hobbies, medicine, religion, science, and sports. Some magazines seek simply to entertain their readers with fiction, poetry, photography, cartoons, or articles about television shows or motion-picture stars.
So the functions of newspapers and magazines are: to keep us well-informed, to enrich our outlook, to reflect our life, to entertain us.
Radio is one of the most important means of communication. It enables people to send words, music, codes, and other signals to any part of the world. People also use radio to communicate far in to space.
The most widespread and familiar use of radio is broadcasting. Radio broadcasts feature music, news, discussions, descriptions of sports events, and advertising. People wake up to clock radios and ride to their jobs
