People are becoming more dependent on high-tech devices more than reading books. Is it good or bad?
Sure in reasonable limits and with definite targets it is good. We can’t imagine our life today without the Internet. With the help of modem devices I have got an opportunity to access news, documents, images, sounds, video and games, to make friends, to book tickets and to purchase different things online. There are a lot of different sites for students, gardeners, businessmen, engineers, for people who are fond of music, cinema, theatre, sports and even for disabled people. What is more, the Internet has revolutionized the way people communicate. Sending electronic text messages is much faster and easier than writing letters. People use e-mail to stay in touch with friends worldwide. The only thing is not to go crazy about constant buying new brand devices though the high-tech world is developing so fast.

Let s talk about art.
How important is art in our lives?
It is human to admire beauty around us, we are often struck when we see a painting or read a beautiful poem, or listen to soothing music. Art is everywhere around us in many forms and holds a significant value in our lives. It is difficult to describe "art" in literal terms, but broadly it is understood as a form to express one’s feelings through any object or medium like paper, music, colours, technology, magic, photography, etc. It can be abstract, realistic, naturalistic, conceptual and inspirational.
We are surrounded by art and also rely on it in our daily routine. When we enter someone’s home, it is difficult to stop ourselves to appreciate the way the living-room is decorated. It’s also art. One doesn’t have to be a painter, every individual expresses himself/herself, uses imagination and creative energy to embellish and decorate the surrounding.
Art has many forms. Visual and performing arts are the ones that can be related easily. Visual arts broadly comprise of paintings, drawing, clay modeling, architecture, photography, etc. Performing arts include dance, music, opera, theatre, magic, spoken words, circus art and musical theatre. It is interrelated with entertainment.
Music has a great impact on our mood. It makes us joyful and relaxes us and keeps the energy on. Not only music but also movies, plays and theatre also make us active.
It can be concluded that the importance of arts in our lives is very similar to entertainment. Nowadays art and craft education are encouraged at schools for children. It can be inspirational as well.

Art can be defined as communication between an artist and the audience. When an author writes, he takes words to create a story to communicate to us. Through this story, we are able to create a picture of the characters, visit new places, and find new meaning in simple events. An author’s writing style is his platform for sharing art.
Let’s talk about people’s reading preferences. What do you like reading?
Undoubtedly, the role of books in our life is really great. Books help to understand people surrounding us better. Devoting much time to reading we become better informed and more educated. Reading plays a great role in my life, too. It develops my literary taste, it makes me think over the important questions, that have to worry everybody. Reading develops my speech and helps me express my views, thoughts, ideas in clear, simple words. It also develops my outlook and my attitude to the life.
Reading plays a very important role in the life of people. It educates a person, enriches his intellect. Books help to mould a person’s character, form his moral values. Besides, books bring pleasure and delight. It’s a wonderful way to spend spare time. Sometimes we read the same book again and again. Thanks to books we learn to express our thoughts and feelings more exactly. The book is a faithful and understanding friend. There are books which have been our favorites since childhood. People are fond of reading different kinds of books. Some people enjoy reading detective stories, adventure stories, novels, biographies, other prefer classics. Fairy tales are enjoyed and read by children, books about adventures and journeys are enjoyed by those who are fond of travelling. Legends and myths are read by those who are fond of history. Some people devote much time to reading books and reading becomes their free time occupation, their passion.
My reading preferences are various. For me, it is not the genre of the book that matters, but the talent and emotions the author has put into it. The choice of a book to read depends on my mood and the amount of free time I have.
But when I am not pressed for time, I prefer classical literature of the 19th and 20th centuries. To my mind, it was the "golden age" in the history of literature when masterpieces were created.
