1. People are motivated to make new inventions by their thirst for knowledge, curiosity, willingness to help to improve life, by future popularity in some ways and, of course, by many other factors.
2. In my opinion progress in science and technology influences people's lifestyle greatly. It's difficult to imagine modern life without the computer, TV, electricity, cars, trains, planes and so on.
3. The radio, then the radio phone, then the cell phone, (video-phone - on the skype in PC.)
4. To my mind, the greater the progress in our life, the better the quality of life of people.
5. On the one hand the world is changing for the better, but on the other hand more pollution of the air, water and land.
6. I would like to live in my time, I can't imagine my life without modern conveniences and new technologies.
7.Yes, nuclear weapons and hydrogen bombs.
8. Maybe dynamite.
9. I see robots; electronics on the one hand, but overpopulation, pollution, radiation on the other hand. People should realize that many things depend on them and we all should do our best to stop destructive policy and do not do harm to the planet we live on!
1. Люди мотивированы на новые изобретения жаждой знаний, любопытством, готовностью улучшить жизнь, будущей популярностью в некотором роде и, конечно, многими другими факторами.
2. На мой взгляд, научно-технический прогресс очень сильно влияет на образ жизни людей. Сложно представить современную жизнь без компьютера, телевизора, электричества, автомобилей, поездов, самолетов и так далее.
3. Радио, затем радио телефон, потом мобильный телефон, (видео-телефон - по Skype на ПК.)
4. На мой взгляд, чем больше прогресс в нашей жизни, тем лучше качество жизни людей.
5. С одной стороны, мир меняется в лучшую сторону, но с другой-все больше загрязняется воздух, вода и земля.
6. Я хотел бы жить в свое время, я не могу представить свою жизнь без современных удобств и новых технологий.
7. Да, ядерное оружие и водородные бомбы.
8. Может быть динамит.
9. Я вижу роботов, электронику с одной стороны, но перенаселенность, загрязнение, радиацию - с другой. Люди должны понимать, что от них многое зависит, и мы все должны делать все возможное, чтобы остановить деструктивную политику и не вредить планете, на которой живем!
my trip
travelling is the most exciting thing in the world. first of all, it lets us discover the world from different sides, visit different countries and experience their cultures and traditions. moreover, we have a chance to enrich our knowledge about life in general and particularly about ourselves. travelling also gives us an opportunity to meet new interesting people, learn new languages, taste different national dishes and develop our skills. that’s why i’m trying to travel as much as possible. last year i visited new-york, usa. i got there by plane. it took me more than 8 hours. the most exciting thig i saw was the empire state building. i had a fantastic time and learnt a lot about this marvelous and famous landmark.the first thing i’ve noticed about this beautiful building is that it looks like a giant pencil, with a tall and pointed top. i caught my breath, when i rose my head to see it at first. the architecture of the empire state building is gorgeous.. there was so much to see and do inside the tower. there were two observations with spectacular views, lovely coffee shops and some souvenir shops. i’ve bought several postcards, so that i will always remember that day.i felt a little sad when it was time to live. i had a good time in new-york and i hope to go there again next winter.
