Parents

Parents want their kids to be safe. Are teenagers safer with a mobile phone or without? Many parents want their children to have phone so that they can be in contact at any time or in any place. On the other hand for lots of parents a phone is the source of possible danger. Parents worry that their child may meet the wrong kind of friends on social networking sites or that they might receive cruel messages from school bullies. Some parents have rules about their children s mobile phone and internet usage and bad behavior can result in removal of mobile privileges.

School

Mobile phones are permitted at school in the UK but pupils are not allowed to use them in class and they must be on silent during lesson. Teachers can take away phones if these rules are broken. School students can use their phones at break time and at lunch time. Some teachers in British school complain that pupils don't always follow the rules at that lesson are not disturbed by people texting, making and receiving calls, looking at social networking sites, watching videos and even making videos in the class.

A mobile phone contract in the UK usually comes with a number of the text messages included in the price. Of course lots of people send messages completely free of charge using an app that is also free to download. If you want to send a text messages in English you need to know some abbreviations.​

Food is an essential part of our daily life. One famous English saying goes “We are what we eat”, and it’s true. The food we eat can influence our body and our mind. It contains nutrients, such as proteins, vitamins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates. Different products contain different nutrients. For example, we can get lots of vitamins eating fruit and vegetables. As for me, I like salads very much but I don’t like meat products. The food we choose to eat depends on many factors. First and the most important is the taste. If we like the taste of the product, we often eat it. The second factor is its nutritional value. If the product is healthy and useful for our body, we should add it to our ration. Other factors include culture and religion. Advertising also influences our choices a lot. When we see colourful ads on TV, we decide to try the product. For some people food is just a fuel for energy. For me, it’s a pleasure. I like almost everything, except meat products and spinach. My usual day includes three or four meals. For breakfast, I prefer a cup of tea with a cheese and ham sandwich. Sometimes I eat cereal with milk and drink a glass of orange juice. For lunch, I prefer salads from fresh vegetables and a soup. At about 5pm I have a cup of coffee with shortcake. For dinner, I like pasta or rice with vegetables. Sometimes I eat French fries and hamburgers but I know that it contains a lot of fat. That’s why I try to cut down on fast food. I also try to it less sugar and salt.

Information Please went to television in 1952. From June 29 to September 21, it was telecast by CBS on Sunday nights at 9:30pm. Fadiman, Adams and Kieran were back in their usual seats, along with two guest celebrities, but that turned out to be the program's last moment of glory.

The popularity of the series also led to film shorts (1940-1943) and two card games. The show was satirized by the zany panel of radio's It Pays to Be Ignorant.

A variation of Information Please, this time a program devoted exclusively to music with the same four-member panel format, became popular when it was televised in Los Angeles in 1953. After two years of local success, Musical Chairs became a summer replacement series on NBC. The Bill Leyden-hosted game show lasted eleven weeks on the national airwaves.
