It is almost impossible to imagine our life without TV. It plays a great and a very important role in the life of modern man. There is practically no family that doesn't have a TV set. TV is one of the mass media kinds. Radio and newspapers tell us about different events but TV not only tells but also shows. TV has a lot of channels and everybody can watch the programs he likes. Our television suggests various programs: talk show and game show, news and sporting events, about animals and about foreign countries and so on. Soaps-lovers can watch their favorite films almost every day. TV shows us a lot of films of different countries: detective and melodrama, comedy and triller. As former I like to see adventure films, fantasy, comedies. My favorite sporting events programs are about volleyball, swimming, track-and-field athletics and gymnastic. I watch many programs with great interest. These programs are: a wild nature program, "Anshlag", some game shows and so on. There are a lot of films (most of them of foreign TV-companies) with a great number of corpses, with seas of blood now. It's not very good to my mind. I think that one of the aims of TV is to bring up TV-viewers, to cultivate love to our country, kindness and other positive features of character.
the english like what they call "good plain food". usually they like steak, roast beef, yorkshire pudding, and fish and chips.
dinner is the most substantial meal of the whole day. it is usually eaten at 7 o'clock.
the first course may be soup (though the english don't like it very much).
the main course will often be fish or meat, perhaps the traditional roast beef of old england, and a lot of vegetables.
the, next course will be something sweet and often baked, such as a fruit pie. last of all there may be cheese, often with biscuits.
it is common knowledge that the english are very fond of tea. they like to have "a nice cup of tea" 6 or 8 times a day, sometimes even more.
