BOOKS IN OUR LIFE

«Books and friends should be few but good», says an English proverb. «Except a living man there is nothing more wonderful than a book! The book is certainly one of the greatest inventions of man. It is a friend and a teacher. We learn many things by reading books. Books teach people to live. The book is a faithful friend. They form our values and our characters. It gives us an opportunity to imagine the future, to look into the past. One can learn a lot by reading books.

There are a lot of libraries in our country, where we can choose any book we need. Everyone has the right to use public libraries. The librarian is always ready to help you to find a book on any subject.

Talks, exhibitions and other events take place in libra­ries. Ex­cept reading special and scientific literature it is a great pleasure to read belles-lettres.

Different people like to read different kinds of it. It depends on one's taste and character. Some people prefer detectives or science fiction. Others like historical books. Girls and women prefer love stories. Children like comics very much.

As for me, I prefer to read science fiction. It is very interesting and exciting for me as my hobby is computing. I read that some scientists think that without the computer the 21st century would be impossible. Computers are penetrating all spheres of human activity. In many of them they become indispensable. They calculate orbits, guide spaceships and planes, play chess, teach pupils, house wives to choose a menu. We often her that the increasing flood of information will be one of the problems of the 21st century. A computer may help to solve it too. It’s hard enumerate all the uses the computer may be put too. To my mind any books are our best friends. We must treat them with care and they will give us a lot of pleasure.


LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Foreign languages are absolutely necessary for us no­wadays because of our growing international contacts with all the countries of the world.

There are many reasons why we begin to study foreign language. One of them is to be able to communi­cate with other people who use this language. We may be planning to travel in one or two countries where the lan­guage is spoken. If we know the language of a foreign country, we can talk to its people and understand what they are saying to us. If we are working in any branch of science, we naturally wish to read scientific books and magazines in other languages. Making business nowadays also means knowing foreign languages because of the gro­wing international business contacts. Knowing foreign lan­guages helps people of different countries to develop mutual friendship and understanding. We can also make our intellectual and cultural horizons wider through con­tacts with people of another culture. It is also very inte­resting to read foreign literature in the original. We can also read foreign newspapers and magazines and to un­derstand films in foreign languages without any help.

Learning foreign languages is compulsory in all the secondary and higher schools in our country. English is a very popular language. People use it in many parts of the world and there is a lot of business correspondence and literature in English.

I think, it is very important to know at least one fore­ign language — English, German, French, Spanish or any other one.


My future profession.

Finishing school is the beginning of the independent life for millions of school leavers. Many roads are open before them: technical schools, institutes and universities. But it is not easy thing to choose a profession out of more than 2,000 existing in the world. Some pupils follow the ad­vice of their parents, others can't de­cide even after leaving school.

As for me I have made my choice long ago. I want to become a computer programmer. My choice of this occupation didn't come as a sudden flash. During all school years computing was my favourite subject. I have read a lot of books about computers. Since seven years I began to play computer games. I think computer makes us to think tings properly, it widens and develops our mind and imagination. Computer is really one of the greatest invention of the 20th century. Nowadays we use it in every sphere of our life and we can’t exist without computer. In the future it will be one of the important profession. It is very interesting occupation but specific and difficult job. But it seems to me love for computer combined with knowledge enough to succeed in my work. I’m sure my dream will come true sooner or later.

My parents are also teachers and I know that teaching is a very specific and difficult job. Teach­ers do not only teach their subjects. They develop their pupils' intel­lect, form their views and characters, their attitudes to life and to other people. It's a great responsibility. It's not as easy as it may seem at first. But I think that love for chil­dren combined with the knowledge I'll get at the Institute would be quite enough to succeed in my work. 17.1'm applying to the Philological Depart­ment and I am sure my dream will come true sooner or later.


TV

It is difficult to imagine our life without TV, radio, cinema and theatre.

TV is a great force in the world. It enriches1 our intellect, gives us opportunities to see the best actors and performances, to hear the latest news, to listen to political discussions. TV gives wonderful possibilities for education and helps us to relax after a day's work. There is a considerable variety of programs, and we can choose what we want to see. TV brings the world into our living room. We can learn more of other countries, customs, occupations, opinions, problems — you can see a pro­gramme which enjoy you most: current events, documentaries, sport and educational programmes, films, plays, the arts, news, variety shows, etc. You always decide which programme is the most exciting, valuable, informa­tive or amusing and is worth seeing. Some people think that it is a waste of time watching TV. Besides, it leads, as they say, to poor health through rushed meals, lack of sleep, eyestrain. People begin to forget the art of conver­sation. They sit glued to the TV screen instead of visiting.

As for me I prefer watching action movies in Nakhodka TV and on holidays I enjoy all Russian canals. My family prefers the news canals and serials. I often like listening music and watching clips on TV. My hobby is computing I think «Computer World program» is valuable for me. I try to know the latest models of modern computers in the world. To my mind it is very exiting. TV is the greatest invention of man.
