It is almost impossible to imagine our life without TV. It plays a great and a very important role in the life of modern man. There is practically no family that doesn't have a TV set. TV is one of the mass media kinds. Radio and newspapers tell us about different events but TV not only tells but also shows. TV has a lot of channels and everybody can watch the programs he likes. Our television suggests various programs: talk show and game show, news and sporting events, about animals and about foreign countries and so on. Soaps-lovers can watch their favorite films almost every day. TV shows us a lot of films of different countries: detective and melodrama, comedy and triller. As former I like to see adventure films, fantasy, comedies. My favorite sporting events programs are about volleyball, swimming, track-and-field athletics and gymnastic. I watch many programs with great interest. These programs are: a wild nature program, "Anshlag", some game shows and so on. There are a lot of films (most of them of foreign TV-companies) with a great number of corpses, with seas of blood now. It's not very good to my mind. I think that one of the aims of TV is to bring up TV-viewers, to cultivate love to our country, kindness and other positive features of character.

Dear Andrea,
Thank you for your letter. I’m awfully sorry for not writing for so long because I’ve been busy at
school studying for my exams. How are you keeping?
In your letter you took a deep interest in my hobbies. Well, I do collect small things and most
of them are small figures of penguins. Frankly speaking, I like buying clothes on my pocket
money. My mother doesn’t like it and we often argue. My friends spend their money on going to
a cinema or on computer games. Isn’t it silly?
As I’ve heard you have just entered courses. What courses do you attend? Do you go alone
or with your friends? Do you enjoy spending your time there?
Well, got to go now.
Keep in touch.
Best wishes,
Katya
