Every day we needsome information. It may be information of all kinds: about sport, about study,about health. There are many ways to recieve any information you need: from newspapers and magazines, TV and radio programmes. Of course, radio isless popular than newspapers or TV. As for me I listen to the radio only in acar and in a bus, I don't listen to the radio at school or at home except thetime when I do my homework. But very seldom, because I have Internet and Iprefer listening some music and news using it not radio. Of course, I know someradio stations such as "Mayak", "Russain Radio" and"Eho Moskvy" (Эхо Москвы — название передач не переводится наиностранный язык) and my favouriteradio programme is "Virgin" because they play rock and popular music24 hours a day. When we speak about massmedia I always speak about TV and TV programmes.Millions of people are fondof watching. There are many different TV programmes, shows, soups,interesting films, advertisements, news, plays to watch.My parents spend a lot oftime watching everything. Of course, sometimes they show something interestingbut not very often. If somewhere something important or dangerous takesplace journalists will report these events on TV, but their endless soups areawful.Other people say thattelevision is becoming a national disease. I agree with them. Lots of my friends are fondof watching but I have to confess, I hate TV programmes. I think it's waste oftime. And I think that they damage their eyes, become lazy, put on their weightand have no time to do sports or to read books. I prefer doing sports,playing games in the open air and taking part in different sport competitions.
