Do you know Robin Scott? No? Well, not many people do. He’s the lead singer with
M and a star for the future. M’s new record is a huge hit at the moment. It’s called Pop
Muzik and it’s already very popular in the UK and Europe. Robin and his girlfriend, Brigit
Novik, sing the lyrics. Their strange voices make it sound very different. Brigit’s voice
sounds like a robot! Robin is certain to be a big star in the future. This is just the beginning
for M.

Many people that newspapers and TV the best way to keep up with currents events. But I have another opinion. in our time Internet is in common use. It is cheap and a lot of people consider it very comfortable. I agree with them. Internet gives us access to knowledge of the world. Another good reason for using Internet is discussion. You can discuss everything you want with other people. But what about old source of information? In our time we don't have enough time to search the latest news in newspapers. It is uncomfortable way to be aware of recent events. May be you can find any information you want on TV but it has a lot of advertising. It annoys me. You will spend much more time watching it than you just find it on your favourite news web-site. In conclusion I want to say that Internet is cheap and it won't take much time for searching. Join the club!

Today, due to the epidemic of coronavirus, many people have to stay at home to protect themselves and their loved ones. As for the students .. well, many of them switched to distance learning and continue to study with the same success without leaving their homes. And here the question begs - is distance learning really better?

Okay, for me going to school was much more convenient and easier - while sitting at home I lose a lot! I can only chat with my friends and classmates on social networks and instant messengers; from a luminous computer monitor my eyes constantly hurt; and finally, I sit at home literally all day, and I don’t walk at all (although I used to walk very little, and my only walk was “to school - from school”)! I never understood and do not understand people who like distance learning - many people like it because you can write off homework from ready-made homework websites, and of course you don’t need to leave home - introverts would like it - but this good side for me is the WORST side, because nothing can compensate me for live communication!

So as you see - I literally hate the distance learning; I wish the quarantine will end soon so I’ll see my classmates and my dear teachers, of course!
