it’s impossible to imagine our life without mass media. tv, radio, newspapers, magazines are everywhere. around us all the time, they have a strong influence on our mood, feelings, ideas, attitudes to life and politics. but the mass media offer both advantages and disadvantages.firstly, we always get the latest news, to say nothing of the fact that we can get everything we want from the internet in a few minutes. secondly, weather forecasts can warn of different natural disasters; so the mass media help people to avoid harm and losses. then, there is the possibility of having a good time: it’s wonderful to relax sitting in an armchair in front of the screen or reading some newspapers. nowadays, lots of entertaining, female, musical and fashion magazines, and different tv and radio programs, help us to relax. but there are some drawbacks of the mass media.sometimes i look at various newspapers and magazines, watch tv-news, and i suppose the main disadvantage of them is the amount of negative information they portray. watching the news we learn primarily about wars, crimes, disasters and accidents. i find gossip another minus of the mass to cut a long story short, all the negative and false information can cause stress and a bad mood. and finally, tv and computers have a harmful effect on people. the majority of teenagers don’t read books and never visit theatres. i want to add that tv and computers can spoil one’s health.
Most of my classmates like to play sports because the sport is fun and it can make us more bearable and stronger. They love sports because it brings people together and makes us kinder, helps us not to be weak and inactive. Some boys enjoy playing hockey for its severity, team play and team spirit, for those moments when it seems that it is the only and not a repeatable match in your life. But other classmates prefer playing computer games and eating a lot of fast food instead of doing sports, though it's not useful. I believe that they should not do so because doing sports and eating healthy food, spending more time in the fresh air is more pleasant and much more useful.
Большинство моих одноклассников любят заниматься спортом, потому что это весело, и это может сделать нас более выносливыми и сильными. Они любят спорт, потому что он объединяет людей и делает добрее нам не быть слабыми и вялыми. Некоторым ребятам нравится играть в хоккей за его строгость, командную игру и командный дух, за те моменты, когда кажется, что это единственный и не повторимый матч в жизни. Но некоторые одноклассники предпочитают играть в компьютерные игры и есть фаст-фуд, а не заниматься спортом, хотя это и не полезно. Я считаю, что они не должны этого делать, потому что заниматься спортом и есть здоровую пищу, проводить больше времени на свежем воздухе приятнее и гораздо полезнее.
