Television plays a very important role in our life. It is a powerful sourse of entertainment and information, a door through which the whole world can enter our homes. There is virtually no family that does not have a TV set. Some people prefer to spend their free time watching light TV programmes while others prefer watching political and educational programmes. After the decrease of television censorship we can watch many really interesting programmes: informational, political, musical, educational, for children and for old people, sporting, and many different games. It is difficult to say what TV programmes one likes most of all. From the informational and political programmes I prefer "Night News" and "Podrobytsi", because in my opinion, they discuss different important events of our country and abroad.
Many people like such musical programmes as "Melorama", "Chance", and some others because music helps them to get though difficult times or to get over bad mood.
New programmes, such as "Dancing with the Stars" and "The First Million" are enjoyable and entertaining ones. Schoolchildren can learn better geography, zoology, and biology by watching regular TV programmes such as "The Traveller's Club" and "The World of Animals". Programmes such as "What? Where? When?" attract the attention of many people, too. It is rich in many facts taken from everyday life, history of the country, literature and science.
Learning foreign languages is especially important nowadays. Some people learn languages because they need them in their work, others travel tourists, for the third, studying languages is a hobby. Every year thousands of people from Russia go to different countries as learn or to work. A modern engineer or even a worker cannot work successfully with an imported machine or a computer if he doesn’t know English. Diplomats, historians and scientists need know languages in their work, too. If you want to be a stewardess, a pilot or an air traffic control officer, you must learn English, the language of international communication. And how can a shop assistant or a cashier in a big department abroad understand a foreigner if she doesn’t know a foreign language? So a modern and cultural person must know foreign languages. There are store who know more that one foreign language. We call them polyglots.
My friend’s mother is a teach¬er of foreign languages. She knows English, French, German, Spanish and, of course, Russian. Is she a polyglot?
