I would like to tell you about modern technology. Some people say that modern technology has big advantages and that it helps us in our life. But others say that modern technology is useless and we can easily live without it. As for me, I support the former point of view, and now I will try to do my best to convince you.

Firstly, all modern inventions facilitate human life. People learn new information thanks to TV and the computer. The washing machine, the dishwasher, the microwave oven, the vacuum cleaner… All these subjects give a person more free time. Secondly, the Internet, for example, helps people not only to get necessary information but also communicate with relatives, friends, colleagues, and partners even without leaving the house. There is Skype or e-mail using which you can solve most problems very quickly. Thirdly, modern technology can save us from getting bored by various interesting programs on TV or fascinating computer games.

But there is another point of view. Some people are sure that modern inventions make us lazy, and we don't want to go outside or meet with friends. Besides, some people also think that technology influences man’s health, his physical and psychological condition.

I don't agree to that point of view. People meet and walk with their friends when it is possible, but in our times life has become very fast and the Internet helps to accelerate the solution of insignificant problems. Moreover, you shouldn't use the electric equipment all day long if you are afraid to suffer from it.

On the whole, I would like to say that I am for technology as it helps to make our life easier and brighter, and you can spend more time on other pleasant things and enjoy life. Don’t you agree with me?

Я хочу рассказать вам о современных технологиях. Некоторые люди говорят, что современные технологии имеют большие преимущества и что они в нашей жизни. Но другие говорят, что современные технологии бесполезны и что мы можем спокойно жить без них. Что касается меня, я поддерживаю первую точку зрения, и сейчас я попытаюсь сделать все возможное, чтобы убедить вас,

Во-первых, все современные изобретения облегчают человеческую жизнь. Люди узнают новую информацию благодаря Телевидению и компьютеру. Стиральная машина, посудомоечная машина, микроволновая печь, пылесос … Все эти предметы дают человеку больше свободного времени. Во-вторых, интернет, например людям не только получить необходимую информацию, но также общаться с родственниками, друзьями, коллегами и партнерами даже не выходя из дома. Это Скайп или электронная почта, с которого можно решить большинство проблем очень быстро. В-третьих, современные технологии могут нас от скуки с различных интересных программ на ТВ, или с увлекательных компьютерных игр.

Но есть и другая точка зрения. Некоторые люди уверены, что современные изобретения делают нас ленивыми, и мы не хотим выходить из дома или встретиться с друзьями. Кроме того, некоторые люди также считают, что технологии влияют на здоровье людей, на их физическое и психологическое состояние.

Я не согласен с этой точкой зрения. Люди встречаются и гуляют с друзьями когда это возможно, но в наше время жизнь стала очень быстро и интернет ускорить решение незначительных проблем. Кроме того, вы не должны использовать электрическое оборудование в течение всего дня, если вы боитесь страдать от этого.

В целом, я хотел бы сказать, что я за технологии, так как они сделать нашу жизнь проще и ярче, и вы можете потратить больше времени на другие приятные мелочи и радоваться жизни. Разве вы не согласны со мной?

Don't tell him about our plans.

I waited for an answer, but she didn't say a word.

He said that he would wait for me at the library.

He told us that he was going to buy a new car.

Do you speak English?

Come here, Mike. We need to talk .

To tell you the truth, I don't remember anything.

Did the director tell at the conference?

Do you know how to say good-bye in Arabic?

We spent the whole evening talking about old friends.

Can you tell me the time?

My watch says ten o'clock.

I can't tell the difference between them.

Say for yourself. I have a different opinion.

I'd like to talk it over with my family before making a decision.
