10 вопросов к тексту (9 класс, Афанасьева 1 часть, 23 страница 4 упражнение) Can you imagine your life without television? Most Russian families watch it. Some families keep the television turned on most of the time, even when they have meals or receive visitors. They can watch anything that is on, including trash . They turn the television on first thing in the morning and forget to turn it off when they go to bed. These people get so used to TV watching that they feel depressed if the television is not working. Yet, in most families, television is turned on for two or three hours a day. Young children are not recommended to watch TV for more than an hour a day. Nowadays there are TV programmes that serve the needs of any age groups and any interests. Men traditionally watch sports programmes and never miss important football matches. If they want to watch a film, they choose a comedy, a thriller or a crime film. Women often watch serials, comedy series, pop-music concerts, romantic comedies and melodramas. Both men and women watch the news, talk shows and quizzes. Those who have more developed tastes listen to classical music, watch plays and serious films. Some people prefer science programmes, political broadcasts and documentaries. Young people never miss a good musical programme or a popular comedy series and some watch reality shows. Children watch cartoons, children's educational programmes and bedtime stories.

Как я провёл лето
My name is Andrey. I’m twelve years old. My favourite season is summer. My holidays began and it’s not necessary to wake up early and go to school. In June of this year I had a rest in the sports training camp. The time I spent there was very interesting and joyous. I made new friends and learnt much. We played football and volleyball. We were taught how to condition us to the cold. We had a shower bath every morning. When my father saw me he said that I’d grown up. In July I spent time with my grandmother and grandfather in their village. My grandfather went fishing and to the forest to gather mushrooms and berries with me. He taught me how to recognize edible mushrooms and orientate in the forest. I helped my grandmother with housekeeping every day. In the evenings I read books or went for a walk with my friends. In August my parents took a month’s holiday and we went to have a rest to the South together. Every day we sunbathed and swam in the sea. The weather was wonderful. We went to watch waterfalls and we were at lake in mountains. I spent my summer well and I was full of impressions. Меня зовут Андрей. Мне 12 лет. Лето - моё любимое время года. Начинаются каникулы и не надо рано вставать и идти в школу. В этом году в июне месяце я отдыхал в спортивном лагере. Там было очень весело и интересно. Я нашёл много новых друзей и многому научился. Мы играли в футбол и волейбол. Нас учили правильно закаляться. Каждое утро мы обливались холодной водой. Когда папа меня увидел, сказал, что я очень повзрослел. Июль я провёл в деревне у бабушки с дедушкой. С дедом мы ходили на рыбалку и в лес за грибами и ягодами. Он научил меня распознавать съедобные грибы и ориентироваться в лесу. Каждый день я бабушке по хозяйству. А вечерами читал книги или просто гулял с друзьями. В августе у родителей начался отпуск, и мы вместе поехали отдыхать на юг. Целыми днями мы загорали и купались в море. Погода была замечательная. Мы ездили смотреть водопады и посетили горное озеро. Лето я провёл замечательно, у меня осталось очень много хороших впечатлений.
