Modern Technologies

     Modern technologies are simply an advancement of old technologies. Cinema came into life at the beginning of the XX century and was a modern technology of that time. Electricity, radio and television were considered to be modern technologies, too.
     The invention of the computer was a very important event. Now our homes and offices are fully equipped with computers, printers, scanners,  and we can not imagine our life without the internet.
     New technologies are making life faster, easier, more comfortable and interesting. The things we can do on the internet nowadays are: connecting with friends all over the world, online shopping, banking, working from home and distance learning. Isn't that convenient? Could people imagine that in the XX century?

     However we should realize, that digital and electronic inventions have both positive and negative impacts on our daily life.
     I know that people think it is convenient, but also very dangerous. People are stopping to talk to each other face to face in real life. They are becoming anti-social and starting to depend more and more on their gadgets. Some of my friends spend most of their time occupying their gadgets (smartphones or i-pads) even when we go out together. There are many people nowadays who use social networks (such as Facebook or Instagram) and don't understand that one day they may have problems with their privacy.
     It is difficult to imagine our life without new technologies today. However, there are serious arguments both for and against the use of them in our life.

Speech Patterns
Agreement and Disagreement

     Translate the following
     English people use a rather elaborate roundabout way of asking for things. And when they refuse, they try to do it very
     politely.

     - Do you agree with me? Could you possibly do it? Would you do it?
     - I agree with you. I couldn't agree more. (Oh, yes), certainly.
     - I'm afraid I can't agree with you. I'd like to say yes, but it's just not possible.

III. Reading. Writing. Free Speech

1. Distance Learning

     One of the advantages of modern technologies is the possibility for humans to find any information they want in no time.
     Furthermore, you can get education with their help. Just stay at home, get out of your bed in the morning, make yourself comfortable in front of the computer and get connected with the teacher. And here you are! You are having a lesson without going out, taking a bus or the underground and even without any extra trouble like putting on yourself decent clothes. Isn't that convenient?
     It's more than convenient. It's wonderful!

2. Our Comfortable Life and Health Problems

     Nobody would deny the importance of modern technologies. Smartphones, i-phones, digital cameras, headphones, printers, scanners have made our life easier, quicker and more comfortable.
     However, it's not always healthy to use them for a long time. Sitting long hours in front of the computer leads to eyesight and back problems. Cell phones contain negative vibes that affect human organism.
     Many health specialists are against the excessive use of cell phones and other means of modern technology.

3. No Action - No Health

     We have stopped washing clothes by hand. We have stopped washing the dishes after meals, because the dishwasher can do it for us. Very few people use the brooms - there are vacuum cleaners for cleaning up. We don't go on foot any more - there are cars and buses for this. We can do a lot of things on the internet nowadays without even going out: connecting with friends, doing online shopping, banking, working from home and even distance learning.
     However, cars, household appliances and the internet that make people's life easier often lead to idleness and obesity. No action - no health.

4. Addiction to Technology

     We should realize that people can be addicted to technology. And in our technological world more and more people start to depend on their gadgets.
     In a restaurant, on a bus and in a taxi you can see people busy using their mobile phones. They sit silently one near another without seeing each other and looking like strange creatures from another world.
     It's common knowledge, that the extensive usage of mobile phones leads to different kinds of diseases. One of them is depression.

5. When Technology Fails

     The human society is growing. Every person wants to make everything automatic, and it is difficult to imagine our life without new technologies today. They are very convenient and we all use them every day. However, the problem with technology is that it sometimes fails and doesn't work properly. Then it may take a lot of time and money for recovery.
     The more technology you use, the more time, money and nerve you spend and lose. One of the most important losses is your privacy and independence.

Theatre

     Theatre is one of the oldest kinds of arts. People used to come to the theatre to see tragedies, comedies, ballets and  to listen to operas.
     Cinema, television and radio came into our life much later. They brought the world into our homes. However, they didn't move theatre away from our life. Theatre can't be substituted by any of them.
     There are many theatres and theatre goers in Moscow. The most popular theatres are the Bolshoi theatre, the Maliy theatre, the MHAT, the Tabakov, the Puppet theatres and many others. The most famous of them is the Bolshoi theatre.

     II. Listen to the texts from part III (Reading. Writing. Free Speech) and read them together with the speaker (as many times as you need to do it at the speed of the speaker). Mind your pronunciation!

III. Reading. Writing. Free Speech
1. Cinema

     Cinema came into our life at the beginning of the XX century and like theatre brought tragedies, comedies, operas and ballets into it.
     Going to the cinema has always been a happy part of our life. Some people  go to the cinema when they want to see a super new film which is much talked about. Other people go to the cinema when they want to have a change.  Sometimes students prefer watching films to reading books, though it is not so valuable. Through films one can vividly see the events of history or the contemporary countries, cultural and wild life of those.

2. Radio and Its Advantages

     Radio is one of the most wonderful discoveries made by human beings. It came into our life in the 19th century. Priority in the invention of radio belongs to the Russian scientist Popov.
     One of the advantages of the radio is that it can be enjoyed anywhere: at home, in the office, or in the car. The biggest advantage is the following: you can listen to it while doing other activities like driving or household(s) tasks. One of the most  useful functions of radio is introducing people to the best literary works. It is especially important for those who are slow readers.
     There are many radio channels, and people have their favourite ones. They listen to them regularly. Some radio programs are especially interesting for the young who choose those through internet. Sometimes radio listeners send emails (or even write letters) to the radio-studios and express their viewpoints.

3. Television

     When television came into our life some people thought that theater was not needed any more. At home one can enjoy a theater performance, a film produced a hundred years ago or a modern talk show. The success of such shows depends very much on the personalities of the talk show hosts. For many tv-viewers the attraction of TV is the possibility to watch the  events online especially the sport ones. In fact television brought the world into our homes.
     In many cases preferences of people depend on the age. Elder generation often enjoy the films of their youth time, psychological dramas or comedies. Younger ones prefer adventures, horror or detective films. Nearly all people watch news regularly.

4. Modern Technologies in My Family

     My Grandpa is fond of radio and listens to it from early in the morning till late at night. He says that he is always in need of information.
     My Dad is a computer lover. He started to deal with the computer in his early childhood and he has been using it since that time.
     My Grandma enjoys television. Someone told her that it had brought the world into our homes and she still believes it. She watches television between meals and during the meals, between numerous telephone calls and stops watching it only when I start doing my homework. She is sure she must always help me because I am not ready for the complicated modern life.

5. My Mom is a Theatre Goer

      My Mom is a theatre goer. She knows all the theatres in Moscow: from the Bolshoi theatre to the new one in the basement of our house. She watches everything - tragedies, comedies, ballets, musicals and operettas. Furthermore, she listens to operas and knows not only the names of the composers, but the most talented actors. She likes to have her seats in the stalls. Actually, she does not care where to sit, because it is not so important for her as to attend the theater. If there are no tickets for the stalls she buys tickets for the dress circle, box and the balcony. She says she is thankful to my grandma who used to take her to the theater when she was a preschooler.

1. What Do I Do during My Spring Holidays

     The third quarter of our school year is over. We celebrate the end of the third quarter in our school. Then we go on our spring holidays.
     The spring holidays last a week. My parents take me to the country. I spend my time with my grandma. We read books, watch films on TV and on the internet and go for a walk. I come back to school healthy and happy.

2. The Summer Holidays

     
     The summer holidays are the longest. They start at the beginning of June and are over at the end of August.
     During the summer holidays you can go to different places: to the country, abroad, to Crimea or St.Petersburg.
     If you stay in Moscow you can go to the summer school in Modern Education School. I went to the summer school last June and I liked it very much. You can learn many new things there and meet new boys and girls.

3. The Autumn Holidays

     The autumn holidays begin at the end of October. In the middle of November they are over.
     Some people think autumn is a dull season. The summer is over, the trees stay naked, it often rains and the days are grey and short.
.   But  I like autumn. Of course I like September best of all, because nature is beautiful in September - everything is red and yellow. But I like October, too. The first quarter is over at the end of October and you have many days of holidays.

4. What Do I Do on My Days Off

     On Saturdays and Sundays I get up later than usual: at nine or ten o'clock in the morning. My parents are still asleep, but my grandma and grandpa are not. They do their morning exercises, have breakfast and go for a walk. I join them and we have a great time together.

5. What Would Happen if People didn't Have Any Holidays and Days Off?

     If people didn't have any holidays and days off, they would be very dull and nervous. They would be very tired and unhappy and they would become old at their early age. 
    On the other hand, they would be busy all the time and would have no time for quarrels, wars and other bad deeds.

Grade 2, Unit 4. Holidays. Day Off

Text

     I went to school at the age of seven. It was Monday, the 1st of September. Now I am eight and I am a second grade pupil. I go to Modern Education School. I like to go to school, but I like to have holidays even more.
     We have four holidays in a school year: autumn holidays, winter holidays, spring holidays and summer holidays.
     The autumn holidays are in October, the winter holidays are in December and January, the spring holidays are in March. The summer holidays are in June, July and August.

     It's winter now and I am on holidays. Ded Moroz brought me wonderful presents: skates and skis. My Mom takes me to the skating rink on Red Square every morning and we skate there. We go to Sokolniki to ski there two times a week in the evening.
      In the evenings we go to the theatre or cinema.

III. Reading. Writing. Free Speech

1. What Do I Do during My Spring Holidays

     The third quarter of our school year is over. We celebrate the end of the third quarter in our school. Then we go on our spring holidays.
     The spring holidays last a week. My parents take me to the country. I spend my time with my grandma. We read books, watch films on TV and on the internet and go for a walk. I come back to school healthy and happy.

2. The Summer Holidays

     The summer holidays are the longest. They start at the beginning of June and are over at the end of August.
     During the summer holidays you can go to different places: to the country, abroad, to Crimea or St.Petersburg.
     If you stay in Moscow you can go to the summer school in Modern Education School. I went to the summer school last June and I liked it very much. You can learn many new things there and meet new boys and girls.

3. The Autumn Holidays

     The autumn holidays begin at the end of October. In the middle of November they are over.
     Some people think autumn is a dull season. The summer is over, the trees stay naked, it often rains and the days are grey and short.
.   But  I like autumn. Of course I like September best of all, because nature is beautiful in September - everything is red and yellow. But I like October, too. The first quarter is over at the end of October and you have many days of holidays.

4. What Do I Do on My Days Off

     On Saturdays and Sundays I get up later than usual: at nine or ten o'clock in the morning. My parents are still asleep, but my grandma and grandpa are not. They do their morning exercises, have breakfast and go for a walk. I join them and we have a great time together.

5. What Would Happen if People didn't Have Any Holidays and Days Off?

     If people didn't have any holidays and days off, they would be very dull and nervous. They would be very tired and unhappy and they would become old at their early age. 
    On the other hand, they would be busy all the time and would have no time for quarrels, wars and other bad deeds.
