modern world is full of information of various kinds which sometimes is even more valuable than money. mass media (the press, radio, television and internet) have a very big impact on modern society. they serve to inform people of different events that take place or may happen, educate, entertain and give us any kinds of information. complete and accurate information is very important to get nowadays.
the press still remains one of the most powerful kinds of mass media, even more powerful than the internet. one can find daily, weekly and monthly newspapers and magazines on different topics. my family is subscribed to moskovsky komsomolets which is one of the most popular daily newspapers in russia. however, i do not read it since i prefer getting news from the internet. my mother also buys monthly fashion magazines like vogue or cosmopolitan and my father prefers sports newspapers and magazines. there are also a lot of newspapers and magazines for children which are colourful and full of pictures.
television plays a big role in our society too and a lot of people prefer watching television to reading a newspaper. television provides a great opportunity for people to learn latest news, watch educational programmes, children's programmes, old and new films and soap operas on tv. tv-series have also become very popular with the russians nowadays.
as for me, i usually watch documentaries and game shows on television. my mother prefers sitcoms and educational programmes; my father watches sports programmes and political talk shows. i think that it is impossible to live without television, even though the internet, i am sure, will replace it one day in future.
radio is less popular than newspapers and television, but still people listen to it in cars or at work. i usually listen to online radio stations while i am doing my homework. every hour radio stations tell latest news in brief. there are also different types of radio stations and one can find any radio station to their liking.
the internet is the newest kind of mass media, but which has become the most popular and greatest source of information and entertainment. if you have the internet access, you may read newspapers online, watch films, listen to music, listen to the radio and even watch television online!
i use the internet every day for various purposes: i chat with friends all over the world, read news and browse the net to find necessary information for my studies. e-mail has become the greatest way of communication. one can send a letter to their friends (even from the most distant countries and places) without the need of buying an envelope, and the letter will be delivered in a few seconds. i also like social media sites, like facebook or vkontakte. i have my profiles there and they help me stay in touch with all my friends both from russia and abroad.
surely, there are advantages and disadvantages of mass media. some of the advantages are education and entertainment. however, one needs to have special equipment, like a tv-set to watch television, a radio-set to listen to the radio, or a computer withthe internet access to surf the net and buying all of these may be hard if one does not have enough money. another disadvantage is that sometimes the information which is provided on the internet is unreliable and may even be harmful to people.
in spite of all disadvantages, people still read newspapers, watch tv, listen to the radio and browse the net.

Spices diversity of wild animals differs greatly from one region of the world to another one. Almost all the world’s largest animals live in southern countries, where there is enough food and the weather conditions are more or less even throughout the year. For example, the biggest terricole is the African bush elephant, which inhabits vast savannas of this continent. The highest animal in the world is the giraffe, which also lives in Africa. Both the giraffe and the elephant are herbivorous, i.e they eat only plant food. Interestingly, the world’s largest carnivore lives in the Arctic. It is the polar bear, which is considered to be one of the largest, heaviest and the most dangerous wild animals. Its diet consists mostly of fish and small marine animals. And as for the biggest marine mammal, it is, of course, the blue whale. . To my mind, the most unusual wild animals live in Australia. It is, for example, the kangaroo – the most well-know marsupial mammal, which breeds the young in the pouch. It is also a koala bear – a sluggish wooly animal which is often called the symbol of Australia. Finally, Australia is home for the emu, the second largest flightless bird in the world.. As for my homeland, the most famous Russian wild animal is, of course, the bear. Also in vast taiga forests one can meet wolves, foxes, hares, squirrels, wild pigs, roe deer, and so on. Some of them can be rather dangerous, especially in mating season.

The official date of opening of the Cathedral is October 20, 1708 — birthday of architect Rena (the day he turned 76 years old), but the actual service at the Cathedral commenced on 2 December 1697. Before commencing construction, the Ren actually had three completely alter the project. The first project intended to build on the Foundation of the burned-out fourth Cathedral new big Church. This project was rejected almost immediately — apparently the authorities wanted something more grandiose. The second project involved the construction of a Church, having in view the plan of a Greek cross. This project was worked out in detail — suffice it to say that up to the present time preserved is executed in scale 1:24 layout of this Cathedral, which today is exhibited in the Cathedral of St. Paul. However, this project was also rejected as too radical. The third project of Ren involves the construction of a rather large Church with a dome and two towers with belfries. This project was approved, and in June 1675 the construction work began. However, soon after king Charles II re-claimed for the project and ordered changes, which he described as decorative. These decorative change was a large dome, made to St. Paul's Cathedral one of the biggest London attractions. It is generally accepted that the dome of the Cathedral was very similar to the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

Under the dome there are three galleries: the internal whispering gallery and exterior stone and Golden gallery. Whispering gallery owes its name not provided by architects, especially its acoustics: a word even spoken in a whisper, at one end of the gallery, repeatedly reflected its walls, causing a murmur could hear people on the other end of the gallery.

In the steeples of the Cathedral are 17 bells, 13 of them in the North-West tower and 4 (including the bell Big Paul (eng. Great Paul) and Large Volume (eng. Great Tom) — in the South-West tower.
