modern life is impossible without television. it is a part of our life. the attitude to television is different. some people hate watching tv. they believe is waste of time. for them most of programs are rather boring. as for me i enjoy watching tv. i think the role of tv is expressed in the proverb, “it’s better to see than to hear”. paraphrasing it i can say it’s good to see after you have read. it’s so nice to watch screen version of literary masterpieces. it can add much to our understanding the author. believe me it arouses unforgettable emotions. on tv we can see everything we have heard about. there are a lot of entertaining programs, feature and documentary films. sometimes these films provoke hot discussions. our television offers a wide variety of channels. my favorite tv channel is …. it broadcasts a lot of films and programs for adults, teenagers and children. my favorite program is …. it’s great! it is full of good pieces of advice…. when i wake up in the morning i always switch on tv and watch “life news”. i am interested in the news all over the world, main information in our newspapers and magazines. in the evening i usually watch an interesting film or something to entertain or to relax. i am sure watching tv is the most interesting hobby in the world after reading books. it’s my favourite pastime.
hello leia
thank you for your last letter. what have you been up to lately? how is your mother? i'm sorry i did not write for a long time and now i will explain why.
can you imagine i broke my arm! it happened this friday night, we are in volleyball training with the guys. i wanted to take the ball, but clara and i ran to him at the same time. i took the ball, only we fell and clara landed badly on my hand. everything is fine with her, only i was less fortunate, i could not move my arm, it was very painful. the coach called an ambulance and they brought me to the hospital.
i am very bored because i am still in the hospital. i’ve been in bed for a week now and i’m lying here missing all the workouts! i will write as soon as you receive the letter.
see you, leia "
