The media

2012-02-29T21:26:00.002Z

Do you find information important?

State your reasons:

I think the means of communication are important because if there were no media people would live in an isolated corner of the world without knowing anything or anyone but the people of their land.

Television helps many people to spend their free time and informs them about the country and the world. The telephone and computer are the media people use to talk to each other whether near or far. The computer also helps to have media like Msn, Facebook and many more.

The newspapers and television are a source of information of the country and the world, while magazines are more entertaining.

My opinion on the importance of the media and information itself is that they are a precious gift to humanity .

I live in a terraced house in a street of six houses. I like this because I have a girl friend who lives near me and she can entertain me.
There are nice people where I live but there aren´t many people in my street.
In general, I think I'm very lucky because my neighbours are very nice and are there when I need.
We're a small family – mum, dad and me. I also have pets such as cats.
My school isn't near. It is six miles from my house.
My room is small.
I don't share my bedroom. I like my bedroom because I have what I want and need.

My house

2010-11-17T22:54:00.001Z

I live in a house. I like it because I haven’t got neighbours who annoy me.
There are lots of nice people. I like my next door neighbour because he is friendly and very helpful. Opposite there is another neighbor. In general I think I’m very lucky, because my neighbors are friendly and because they are generous.
We’re a small family, my mother, father and brother. My school isn't near because it is 6 miles from my house. There are people and animals. Children can’t play because there aren't any in my street. My room is big. I don’t share my bedroom. I like my bedroom because it is my refuge when I'm sad and that's where I spend more time. In my room I sleep, play, sing, dance and surf the net.
