If you are a typical teenager today, you use your MP3 player on the way to school, you text your friends all day and then surf the Net, send emails, instant messages or play on your games console in the evenings. In my opinion, teenagers are completely hooked on technology and I believe this has a positive effect on their lives.
To start with, using the gadgets and devices that are available because of new technology makes life more enjoyable. For example, MP3 players make travelling more entertaining. In addition, media devices such as mobile phones and laptops allow access to information and entertainment and make communication easier and faster.
Secondly, technology is a valuable resource that has allowed teens to learn new skills. For instance, many teenagers today are able to multi-task and do research using the Internet. Furthermore, they have learnt keyboard and computer skills that will help them at school and later in their working lives.
On the other hand, there are those who believe that technology has had a negative effect on today’s teenagers. They say that teens become distracted and waste their time with their gadgets instead of concentrating on more important things such as schoolwork. As a result, teens become antisocial as they prefer to communicate digitally instead of face-to-face.
In conclusion, teenagers’ use of gadgets and devices enriches their daily experiences in many ways. As technology advances, I think teenagers will be better prepared for the future.
Если ты типичный подросток, то вы пользуетесь вам MP3-проигрывателем по дороге в школу, весь день посылаете текстовые сообщения друзьям и потом сидите в интернете, отправляете электронные письма, мгновенные сообщения или играете по вечерам на игровых приставках. По моему мнению, подростки целиком и полностью подсели на технологии, и я уверен, что это оказывает положительное влияние на их жизнь.
Для начала я хотел бы сказать, что использование гаджетов и девайсов, которые существуют из-за новых технологий, делают жизнь более приятной. Например, MP3-проигрыватели делают путешествия более интересными. Кроме того, медиа-устройства такие как мобильные телефоны и лэптопы, предоставляют более легкий и быстрый доступ к информации и развлечениям.
Во-вторых, технологии – это ценный ресурс, который позволяет подросткам приобретать новые навыки. Например, сегодня многие подростки выполнять сразу несколько задач и выполнять исследования с использованием интернета. Более того, они освоили клавиатурные и компьютерные навыки, которые им в школе и позже в трудовой жизни.
С другой стороны, есть те, кто полагает, что технологии имеют отрицательное влияние на сегодняшних подростков. Они говорят, что подростки становятся рассеянными и напрасно тратят свое время со своими гаджетами, вместо того чтобы сконцентрироваться на более важных вещах таких как школьная работа. В результате подростки становятся асоциальными, поскольку они предпочитают общаться в цифровом режиме, а не лицом к лицу.
English is now the most important and widespread language in the world. It is the state language in five countries: Great Britain, Canada, the USA, Australia and New Zealand. English is one of the six official and working languages of the United Nations. It is the second working language in the European Community. In many Asian and African countries, such as India or Egypt, in former British colonies people speak English besides their native one. People also speak English in Europe. English is spoken practically all over the world.
Independent Ukraine has relations with many countries. More and more direct contacts are established with the countries of Europe, with the United States, Great Britain, Canada and other English-speaking countries.
Taking into account the economic development in our country, hundreds of joint ventures have appeared in every city and town of Ukraine recently. Besides, a lot of foreign delegations come to our country. Our businessmen, tourists, experts often go abroad. As I have already mentioned just English is the language of the international communication. That is why it is very important to learn English.
Nowadays, a lot of people study foreign languages in every possible way. Foreign-language study groups are organized at industrial enterprises, at the offices of big firms, at the educational establishments, at research institutes.
I think English is worth studying. There is a proverb "A new language – a new world". In my opinion, every person, who goes abroad, should be able to find his own way about in an English-speaking community without interpreters.
It's a pity that not much attention is paid for studying foreign languages in our schools. There are some schools specialized in studying foreign languages in Ukraine. Their pupils have lessons in foreign language every day. But their number is rather small. Most schools have Foreign Language only once or twice a week. It's impossible to master any foreign language under such conditions. That's why those who want to improve their knowledge have to take private lessons. But not all, who want to know foreign language well, have the possibility to pay for them.
