I am really keen on Muse.

Muse is the British rock group. I like to listen to rock,but choosing from the whole rock world I prefer soft rock nowadays. I know a lot of old and modern songs and artists. But inspite of that I heard of Muse just  two years, although they have existed for about 16 years. This group is from England, Devoshire.

For the first time I heard their song called Supermassive Black Hole that was used as an original soundtrack of Twilight, part 1.
Muse are actually a representative of British alternative rock, but I like them now anyway even if I don't like loudy rock. Though I really adore their unique talent. They are awarders and nominants of Grammie, MTV Awards an the like.
Long live the Muse!

Newspapers and magazines keep us well-informed. I read news­papers and magazines regularly. I like to read local newspapers and magazines for teenagers. My favourite newspaper is «Fakty» and the magazine I like best is «Cool». These publications are cheap editions.

«Fakty» is a weekly newspaper. It contains twenty pages. My family subscribes to it. We can also buy it at the newsagent's. The newspaper covers the most important international and domestic issues. News items receive full coverage on its pages. It also has a supplement with a TV guide and a lot of commercials. I prefer reading «Cool» because it publishes interesting articles that deal with the problems of teenagers. From the magazine articles I can get useful advice about how to cope with problems in difficult situations.

The information I get from the press helps me to understand the present-day world and know the life of the country. I find it interesting and useful to read about the life of young people in the country. I am interested in sport events and cultural issues too.
