Ход занятия

1. Организационный момент :

Stand up please. Good morning students and dear guests. I’m glad to see you. Sit down students. Let’s start our lesson.

1. Работа с текстом“Television unifies us.”

Today we’ll speak about Mass Media and Internet. I think that Television plays more important part in our life. And now we are going to read the text “Television in our life.”

Television in our life

The press, television and radio (mass media) play an important part in the life of society. They influence the way people look at the world and make them change their views. Some people say, “News is not what happens — it is what you see or read in mass media.” In other words, mass media shapes public opinion. (Sometimes it is good, but sometimes terribly bad. It depends.)

Millions of people in their spare time watch TV and read newspapers and magazines. Television dominates one’s life if the family watches it most of the time. Television informs, educates, and entertains people. It is also a habit-forming drug impossible to resist.

Various TV games, such as quiz shows, and music programs attract a large audience. During TV quiz programs the questions are answered by the viewers.

Then there are daily TV serials known as soap operas. Some people find them boring, others consider them to be good entertainment and relaxation.

There is also a lot of advertising on TV. A lot of commercial firms buy the time to advertise their goods.

Advertising often annoys the general public. A film, a good basketball or football match may be interrupted several times with advertisements for the soap powder or new perfume.

To convince the viewers that a certain product is the best and to persuade him to buy it takes not only a lot of imagination but also a lot of time. The same advertisements are repeated dozens of time every day, which bores the viewers.

Some people say there is too much violence on television, which has a bad influence on viewers, especially young people. Television often shows scenes of violence.

But it is hardly fair to say that TV doesn’t try to raise the cultural level of the people or develop their artistic taste. Many of TV programs are excellent: they are made in good taste and with great professional skill. Television brings into millions of homes not only news and entertainment, but also cultural and educational programs.

Good or bad, television brings the world into our home and makes us closer to other people.

Besides, it is a good company for people who live alone.

• Look through the text please and find — were it is said that TV is more real than reality.
• Find and read about bad influence of TV on viewers.
• Where it’s written that TV is a pleasant way to relax and spend our free time.
• Where it is said that TV is not only entertainment.
• Find what is said about advertising.

Key:

• TV influences the way people look at the world and make them change their views. Some people say, “News is not what happens — it is what you see or read in mass media.” In other words, mass media shapes public opinion.
• Some people say there is too much violence on television, which has a bad influence on viewers, especially young people.

Now let’s speak about Internet.

TASK 1

You should read the text «Internet: how it affects us» and find English equivalents to these sentences.

Internet: how it affects us.

We live in a multi-media society. How does the Internet affect our lives? It can be very helpful to people who carefully choose websites that they visit. The Internet may increase our knowledge of the outside world; there is much high-quality information that can help us understand many fields of study: science, medicine, thearts and so on. In the global network you can find anyinformation in a few minutes. Otherwise you would have to search for the necessary information in directories,libraries or on the phone for a long time.

The Internet has already revolutionized the way welive and work. But these are still early days of the Internet. We don’t know how much it is still changing the world. The Internet is an up-to-date wonder. The proverb says: “nothing is wonderful, when you get used to it” , that is why the Internet fails to astonish us any more.

On the other hand, there are several serious disadvantages to the Internet. Of course it provides us with a pleasant way to relax and spend free time, but some people spend an average of six hours or more a day on the network. Many children look at a screen for more hours each day than they do anything else, including studying and sleeping. It’s clear that the network has a powerful influence on their lives, and that its influence is often negative. Another disadvantage is that for many people the Internet becomes more “real” than reality, and their own lives seem boring. Also, many people get upset or depressed when they can’t solve problems in real life as quickly asthey can do it in internet games. In real life they can not simply press “escape”.
