COMPUTERS: ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
Computer is known to have been a very useful invention of the ХХcentury. Computers make our everyday lives easier. One of the main advantages of computers seems to save time. Stored information can be easily found at the touch of a button, people doing their work much faster than they could in the past. We know computers to save a lot of storage space. One computer disc, for instance, can hold the same amount of information as several books.
Computers can be used for education and fun. Children can get basic computer skills through programs that allow them to learn, draw, paint and play. In today’s technological world, this knowledge can only help them in the future. However, computers turned out to have various negative aspects. Many jobs have been lost as computers can do a lot of tasks more efficiently than people. This has led to high unemployment rate in many countries. Moreover, endless hours in front of a computer screen can cause health problems: eye fatigue and headaches.
There are people who claim that computers are unnecessary and make our lives more complicated. They think that we have become too dependent on computers.
Computers seem to be a useful contribution to our fast-moving world. If there had been no computers a lot of highly technological achievements would have been impossible. Computers having changed our lives for better, there is no reason why we should not make them work to our advantage. However, it must be remembered that they are here to serve us - not to replace us.

WE MUST PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT
Our country.Our environment. There are many big and small rivers, green forests, high mountains, lakes and seas in Russia we must protect. There are some laws and decisions on the environmental problem. We have state organizations which pay attention to it. The international conventions pay much attention to the control of pollution too.
There are a lot of industrial enterprises in our country that is why we can’t ignore the problem of the protection of our environment. We have the main aim of the protection - our environment must be clean. What must we do for it? We have to control atmospheric and water pollution, to study the man’s influence on the climate. The pollution of the environment influences the life of animals, plants and our human life. If we don’t use chemicals in the proper way we’ll pollute our environment.
Our plants and factories put their waste materials into water and atmosphere and pollute the environment. There are many kinds of transport in our big cities that is why we must pay attention to the protection of our nature and the health of the people.
Radiation. Now it has become one of the main problems. It is not good for health of people. Many people died from radiation in Chernobyl. It was a tragedy. The other problem is an earthquake. We know about some terrible earthquakes in Armenia. Our scientists try to forecast earthquakes, then we can protect ourselves from them.
Fortunately, it’s not too late to solve environmental problems. We have time, money and even technologies to make our planet a better, cleaner and safer place. We can plant trees and create parks for endangered species. We can recycle litter. Individuals and groups of people can work together to persuade enterprises to stop polluting activities.
