Риджентс Story and Write What you Think about The First Day at school

what is the  internet  for me? i can say internet is my second home, not real, of course, but virtual.  it’s a reality of modern life: we can’t imagine our existence without the use of www (world wide web). it’s a pity but  people are obsessed with the idea of being online. and i’m not an exception. i use vkontakte, facebook, twitter, instagram. i’m an active user of all these social networking sites. i chat with my friends, play online games, listen to music and watch funny videos. i have the internet in my phone. for one hand, it’s cool that i can watch news when i go by bus/train/metro. from the other hand, i notice that i’m  keen on the internet. if i have nothing to do, i open my phone/laptop and surf the internet. sometimes i don’t even take the time. the internet impacts my life.

the internet has pros and cons. of course, for me the internet is a great pleasure. thanks, developers of it! but i understand that the internet can  influence us both positively and negatively. first of all i tell about a positive side of the internet. i can communicate with any person from any part of the world. i have friends in various countries so it’s easy to talk with them by skype or viber for instance. the internet helps me to prepare my lessons. i seek for additional material practically every day. i can find almost everything in the web. so cool, now i needn’t to spend many hours in libraries as my parents spent. i like  shopping online  and with the help of the internet is a real pleasure. i order cloths and other items on aliexpress.

now i’ll tell you about cons of the internet. first of all it’s a kind of obsession. people (especially teenagers) can’t control themselves. they need to be all the time in the internet. the internet also blocks our brain (i think so sometimes). i can just take the composition from the internet, transform it a little bit and the homework is ready. we need to think ourselves but nowadays we are too lazy to do this, the internet can do everything for ourselves. it’s true.

the internet is a great thing! i’m happy to live in the 21st  century with all modern technologies and devices.

Many people like watching TV in their free time. It’s one of my favourite pastimes too. However, I try not to spend a lot of time in front of the screen. I usually watch music channels, new and interesting films, funny cartoons and educational programs. I’d like to tell you a little bit about my favourite TV program. It’s an informative show called “Galileo”. It is named after a famous scientist Galileo Galilei, who liked making experiments. I watch this program regularly and try not to miss the next issue. It is usually shown at weekends. Each time the presenter of the program Alexander Pushnoy explains different phenomena of nature and shows amazing experiments. Most of all I like the part with these experiments. In my opinion, “Galileo” show is interesting not only for children but also for adults. Not every adult knows seemingly obvious facts. For example, why the sky is blue, why the sugar is sweet, how the paste is colored in tubes. This program can surprise even the most skeptical spectator. Usually each edition contains five different stories and experiments. Together with the presenter you can travel to distant places and even transfer in time. The “Galileo” team has several special agents, who conduct the experiments at scientific laboratories, factories and plants. Sometimes they travel into past or future. Some episodes are shot in foreign countries, such as Japan, the USA, Ukraine, etc. My favourite program ends with the words “The world is more interesting than you think”. I absolutely agree with this statement and I always recommend my friends to watch “Galileo”.
