LEISURE TIME
Let’s talk about leisure time.What do you like doing in your free time?
In big cities people spend their free time by going to the theatre, cinema, museums, art galleries, concert hall, fitness or disco clubs. When I have some free time I can choose any of them. But when the weather is fine, I like to go for a walk along the boulevards and streets of the city with my friends, enjoying its architecture.
As for me, I prefer to spend my free time doing three things: doing swimming, pursuing my hobby which is collecting rare books, or listening to music in which I prefer jazz and classical music. Doing sports helps me keep fit. The reason why I collect books is that I am really keen on reading: Books open to me a whole world of events and people..
I enjoy listening to music, as music helps me relax and relieve stress. When I listen to music I forget about the troubles of everyday life.
2.Do you find it useful to read books?Yes, I do. Because you can learn many things from books?
3. What questions can you ask a British friend about his/her free time? Have you got a lot of free time? Do you often go to the theatre or to the cinema? Do you go in for sports?
4. Give me some advice on what to do in my free time? There are a lot of things to do in your free time. Your plans may depend on several factors: time, your mood, money and may be weather or some other details. To my mind the best way to relax at the weekend in summer is to go somewhere to the country and enjoy nature and quietness. Sometimes it is very pleasant to go for a walk to the park, to eat out, to go to the cinema or to the museum.
5. Many parents think that children should spend less time playing computer games, that they should play outside or do some sport instead. What do you think about this? Unfortunately, today’s children are spending a lot of time in front of the TV, playing on consoles and staring at computer screens. In my view, playing outdoors is so important for children – not only to help them stay active and healthy, but also to socialize with friends.

MASS MEDIA
1. Let’s talk about mass media. What does your family like?Mass Media plays a very important role in modern society. The most important means of media include radio, television, newspapers, magazines, and Internet. These sources inform, educate and somehow entertain us. My favourite media resource is Internet. It represents all sources in one. If I want to read the daily news, I go online. When I want to listen to the radio or to watch a new film, again I turn on my computer. Basically, Internet is the media resource which has successfully displaced all other means from use. If I had no Internet at all, I would choose television. This is another media resource which I find engaging and useful. The programs I like watching are Animal Planet and BBC Wildlife Specials. These programs are not only interesting but also educational. I also like watching comedy films and some soap operas. Speaking about printed press, I should say that my parents are subscribed to a local newspaper. They also buy some magazines from time to time. My mum likes reading “Elle” and “Cosmopolitan” magazines and my dad usually buys magazines about motor and racing cars.
2. Is there any means of communication you can’t live without? I can’t live without any means of communication. To tell you the truth we should have rest from any form of communication. But I can’t imagine my everyday life without the Internet. In my view, the Internet is a great source of information and entertainment for many people.

3. What questions will you ask people who live without a TV set, computer or radio? Where do you find information? Why don’t you use radio? Is it boring to live without news?
4. I’d like to watch an interesting programme on TV. What can you advise me? It depends on your preferences and interests. Sometimes people watch TV just to relax. In this case my advice may be very different. So, I personally would recommend you to watch any programmes on Discovery Channel. If you’ve got a pet you would enjoy watching Animal Planet Channel. Also there are many programmes about education and culture. So you’ve got a great choice.
5. Can the Internet replace all the other means of mass media? What is your point of view?
Maybe yes, maybe no. The Internet is a great source of information and entertainment for many people. But there are always those who prefer going to the theatre or reading a good book. We’llliveandwe’llsee.
