English is an international means of communication. Many people learn English for work or for travelling. About 20% of the world's population speak English. It can help you to understand people if you are abroad. You can also read books or watch filmes in original. I study English because it is necessary for career growth and my future development. English is very interesting, but it’s difficult for me yet. I hope I will know this language well in the future. Certainly, the language that unites the peoples of the world is important for society. But we shouldn’t forget the consequences’ scale of the mass adoption of a foreign language. For example, studying French was widely spread in the beginning of the 19th century (eventually - The War of 1812). In the 20th century German caused two world wars (both mainly provoked by Germany). Now it is the 21st century, the century of progress and technologies. The English language is spreading around the world, so can’t we avoid the war with the USA and Great Britain or maybe with the EU? Probably we have to just remember that fanaticism and widescale oblivion have already showed us 3 centuries of people’s madness. I admit that I am not an opponent of linguistics and foreign languages. After tracing the logic chain, I just believe it is worth considering about the upcoming world language domination and countries speaking it.

Since the times of its appearance television has played a very important role in people’s lives. It’s considered to be one of the most powerful media sources. The first sketches of moving objects in electronic devices were made in 1878, later in the 20-s and 30-s of the XX century the first real television appeared.

Television has consequently become a cheap form of entertainment for people worldwide. The first TVs were white and black, and only in 1967 the citizens of our country saw colour television. Nowadays television has progressed and changed a lot for the better. Nearly every family has one or two TVs in their homes, and these TVs differ a lot from the past ones. Contemporary TV sets offer digital television (DTV), high-definition television (HDTV) and other new technologies. There are also hundreds of thematic channels instead of two and three, which were back in the 60-s.
