We all know that most children watch too much TV. Many years ago, there was usually
only one television in each house and parents could control when their children watched
TV. But in the last 30 years, this has changed. Now many children have televisions in
their bedrooms and others can watch TV on their phones and computers. It’s difficult for
parents to control how much they watch and the problem is getting worse.

When there was only one television in the house, it was easier for parents to control what
and how much their children watched. The parents could switch off the TV when they
wanted to. In most countries, the TV companies were also responsible for what sort of
programmes they broadcast when children were watching. For example, they didn’t put
on shows which were frightening and they often put on programmes for children that
were educational or informative.

However, children often watch TV and their parents don’t know that the TV is on. A
survey in the USA found that the majority of children (in some age groups this increases
to 70%) have a TV in their bedrooms. Many of these children do less exercise and have
more health problems compared to children who don’t. They also get lower marks in their
school tests. As well as this, children are spending more time alone in their rooms
instead of interacting with family and friends.

It’s very difficult to take TV away from a child, but it is possible to control the time spent
watching. Parents can take action with computers by using parental controls on websites
like YouTube. There is also a gadget you can buy and programme to limit the number of
hours a week a child can watch TV. This applies to all TVs in the house. When a child
starts watching, he/she has to type in a special number. When they reach the limit, the
TV won’t switch on!

Television can be a good thing which can help children learn a lot. However, it’s
important that parents know when a child is watching too much and it’s their

Chemistry is my favorite subject. All classes are very interesting and varied. Modern chemistry is a huge field of human knowledge and plays an important role in society. Chemistry is closely related to other natural sciences. Today it is impossible to name any sphere of production where the person did not come into contact with chemistry. Virtually all of our lives, our health, our mood are closely linked to the many substances that surround us and the chemical processes that take place around us and within us. That is why chemistry is an extremely interesting subject.
Most of all I like to work practically in classes, to perform laboratory work. This knowledge will help us a lot in the future, especially for those who plan to connect their lives with chemistry. I have only vivid impressions from classes.
Перклад:
Хімія – мій улюблений предмет. Всі заняття дуже цікаві та різноманітні. Сучасна хімія являє собою величезну галузь людських знань і відіграє важливу роль у житті суспільства. Хімія тісно пов'язана з іншими природничими науками. Сьогодні не можна назвати жодної сфери виробництва, де б людина не стикалася з хімією. Практично все наше життя, наше здоров'я, наш настрій тісно пов'язані з численними речовинами, що нас оточують, і хімічними процесами, що відбуваються навколо нас і всередині нас. Саме тому, хімія – надзвичайно цікавий предмет.
Найбільше я люблю на заняттях працювати практично, виконувати лабораторні роботи. Ці знання нам дуже до в майбутньому, особливо тим, хто планує пов’язати своє життя з хімією. В мене виникають тільки яскраві враження від занять.
