To start with, nowadays there are lots of hot debates about computers in the school. Some people strongly assure that they could replace teachers, however, others disagree, singling out that new technologies have a great deal of drawbacks.
I definitely stand for the second point of view. My first argument is that computers are quite harmful not only for the eyes of children, but for thier nervous system too. Because of this they become agressive, tired and cannot concentrate on the work. Furthermore, pupils can misuse computers: it is possible to chat or play the games instead of learning. What is more, today it is very dangerous to rely on computers. If it breaks down, your information will be lost.
However, there are some people who are fully against it. They point out that with computers it is simply enough to make tests and check them. I agree up to the point, but it must be taken into consideration that in this way pupils have more possibilities to answer with the help of classmates and there is nobody to control them. Moreover, they are trying to persuade that that computer can manage every work you want it to do. I strongly disagree, as I do believe, that only the teacher could explain difficult problems to the children, so that they understand it.
To sum up, it is not an easy question to answer and opinions are different. Personally I am in favour of learning with the help of teachers. To my mind, nothing could take their place.
На английском языкеMy Favourite Singer I like music very much. There are several bands and singers that I especially enjoy listening. However, if I were asked who my favourite singer is, I would answer – Justin Timberlake. In my opinion, he is not only a gifted singer but also a good actor. His songs are all rather melodic. I have once seen one of his concerts and I should say it was an amazing show. Justin Timberlake was born in Memphis, on January 31st, 1981. He was singing and dancing from the very childhood and his musical idol was Michael Jackson. At the age of eleven he appeared on one TV show with a country music song. A bit later he became a cast member in the Mickey Mouse Club together with such future stars as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and JC Chasez. In 1995 the boy band ‘N Sync was formed where JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake became members. Their debut album was released in 1998. It was called ‘N Sync and in October of the same year it won the second place in the US hit parade. The album was sold in 10 million copies. In late 1999, Timberlake made his acting debut in the Disney Channel. Gradually, he became the idol of many young people. His solo career began in 2002 with a song “Like I Love You”, which he performed at the MTV Video Music Awards. His debut solo album was called “Justified”. He has released several other albums since then. Justin Timberlake is married to Jessica Biel, who is a famous actress. Apart from television work, Justin is involved in some business ventures and philanthropy. For instance, he owns three restaurants in the USA and he has been active in several charitable pursuits. He also set up his clothing line. I like almost all his songs but my favourite one is “What goes around comes around”.
