Millions of people are fond of watching. There are many different TV programmes, shows, soups, interesting films, advertisements, news, plays to watch on TV.

My parents spend a lot of time watching everything. Of course, sometimes they show something interesting but not very often.  If somewhere something important or dangerous takes place journalists will report these events on TV, but their endless soups are awful.

Other people say that television is becoming a national disease. I agree with them. 

Lots of my friends are fond of watching but I have to confess, I hate TV programmes. I think it's waste of time. And I think that they damage their eyes, become lazy, put on their weight and have no time to do sports or to read books. 

I prefer doing sports, playing games in the open air and taking part in different sport competitions.

 

Миллионы людей любят смотреть телевизор. Есть много различных телевизионных программ, шоу, сериалов, интересных фильмов, рекламных роликов, новостей, пьес, которые можно посмотреть по телевизору.
Мои родители проводят много времени, смотря все подряд. Конечно, иногда по телевизору показывают что-то интересное, но не очень часто. Если где-то что-то важное или опасное происходит, журналисты сообщат об этих событиях по телевидению, но их бесконечные сериалы - это ужасно.
Другие люди говорят, что телевидение становится национальной болезнью. Я с ними согласен.
Многие мои друзья любят смотреть телевизор, но я должен признаться, я ненавижу телевизионные программы. Я думаю, что это пустая трата времени. И я думаю, что они портят зрение, становятся ленивыми, увеличивают свой вес и не имеют времени, чтобы заниматься спортом или читать книги.
Я предпочитаю заниматься спортом, играть в игры на открытом воздухе и принимать участие в различных спортивных соревнованиях.

 

"Nature provides free lunch, only if we control our appetites." This is a powerful sentence. Nature cannot provide for a community that is taking faster than it can produce. Example, a mother with nine children cannot make them all lunch at once. Some will be served before others, and they will have to be patient. If all the children want seconds, the mother will be tired and may not be able to provide the second meal. Statistics from Webecoist state that, "Oxygen-starved dead zones that cannot sustain life now cover an area approximately the size of Oregon. Dead zones are caused by excess nitrogen from farm fertilizers, factory and vehicle emissions, sewage and other pollution runoff." Humans causing these large, and increasing, dead zones will cause an extreme depletion in sea life. These animals are dying due to human error.
