Learning languages. English is a world language that conquered the world.

Languages are very important in modern life. But learning languages is very difficult and time consuming. The quickest way to learn a language is to go to the country where it is spoken. You can improve it, only if you communicate outside the classroom a lot. Writing notes and e-mails, reading books and watching TV programmes in English can help a lot. Many of us want to speak a foreign language, but we either have no time for it or lack motivation. If a child wants to learn a foreign language easily and get some fun at the same time, he should play different games in English. Pictures and toys work very well too. We know that young children pick up new words very quickly. There are also many cartoons, films and songs in English for children. Some of my friends are very good at languages. They say that the golden rule is to do lots of revision at regular intervals. I can say that there are many reasons why people should study English. English is the most widely spoken language in the world today and it looks as if it will be a world language for a long time. It is taught in many countries of the world because it is the chief language of international business, advertising, home computers, broadcasting and air traffic control. In my opinion one should be motivated to learn English. English is very important if you want:

-to get a good job

-to travel abroad (English is the dominant or official language in over 60 countries)

-to be familiar with social and cultural life in other countries

-to have something to do in your spare time

-to be well educated

-to be able to communicate with people from different countries

English helps avoid culture shock and gives you a feeling of confidence. There are no magic solutions, you simply have to work at it.

Answer the following questions in written form:

-How long have you been learning it?

-Do you enjoy it? Why?

-How do you learn new vocabulary?

-What do you think are the best ways of learning it?

Newspapers. News not to be missed.

Newspapers used to carry real news, but their real role today is to shock and entertain us. Before radio and TV were invented, newspapers were the only source of information. But with the development of other means of the mass media newspapers have lost their unique quality. They are not more in demand these days. There are still different types of newspaper to read: some are called tabloids which are targeted at younger readers and they shock and entertain them at the same time. Others are quality newspapers which earned their authority many decades ago, for example, The Times, The Moscow News, The Komsomolskay Pravda, The Izvestya and many others. They really supply a lot of up-to-date information. One can find there useful and educational articles on economics, politics, environment etc. What is more important, reading such articles develops my outlook. I can say that many of them meet my requirements because they keep up with time. The whole world is speaking about digital newspapers which will be updated and mobile. I heard that moving pictures in newspapers had become a reality, but I have never seen such a newspaper yet. We don`t subscribe to any newspaper. My father buys some from time to time, usually it is a sports newspaper. You know he is a football fan.
