what are the qualities or features of a good newspaper, current affairs television program, or news website

                The media play an important role in our life. It informs people about current affairs or what could happen.  They also entertain us and help make our live better.   We can extract information from different sources, such as radio, television, newspapers, and internet.  Everyone finds something interesting through means of media. Mass media influences the way people dress, eat, communicate and many other parts of our lives. That’s why it is very important to know that sometimes the information could change or could be the defamation. Some of the journalists bring us false information in order to impress readership. Nobody wants to be cheated. So there are some factors to be a good source of information.

                The quality of a good source of information is an honest. Often we believe what are in the newspaper or what say on television and if it is not true we lose the credibility of the source of information. Some days ago I found on internet that the famous American actor Jim Carrey is seriously ill, and he needs a help. Of course, I was shocked, and decided to check the information on the other website. Fortunately, it was defamation. And I lost the interest in the site where I had found it, I was disappointed.

                 The second thing is interesting and eye-catching information. We never pay attention to television program if it is not interesting for us or it could be good information, but poorly told. I always pay attention for the one television channel where often tell about aliens and their space plates, I know it could be not true, but I pay attention for this channel because of bright and colorful saver and leading tone. And it is interesting for people when it gives us to thing about something, to teach us. It is TV channels like Discovery, Animal Planet and National Geographic. Sometimes we don’t want to learn just want to relax and dissipate our attention we find necessary television program or other source of information. It is depends on our mood our preferences, depends on every person in particular.

           Almost all people in the World want to keep up with the time. So it is necessary for people to be informed of relevant information and the journalists try to find out fresh information try to find out it first. It will be strange if we read in some newspaper that Michael Jackson died, because it is not new for this time.  Most of the time if we see news  we want to know about what is going on in the World now not what was some years ago. We learn what is fashionable now, about new books, movies and about the world events. As for me, I think that, internet probably unites all media sources nowadays. So I can easily watch the same films or channels online, to learn news, so that’s why most of the time I exploit it. 

           We should remember that we can’t fully trusted mass media, but this is greatly facilitates lives for millions people. I can’t imagine life without the media; it is part of my life.                  

«It is more important to have a job you enjoy doing than a job which pays well»

       There are several reasons why I agree with the statement «It is more important to have a job you enjoy doing than a job which pays well». I know that many people disagree with this statement, because if you earn much money you could travel, could buy what you want, and could do a lot. And often when I say, I thing  that the job I enjoy doing is more important for me, than a job which pays well; people tell me that I would never be happy without money.The first place why I agree with the statement is if you really like what you do you will progress. If you will progress you will improve the quality of the work, and then will become demanded specialist and will earn much money. The person who likes his job working with enthusiasm, and of course he wants to do it better and better. I have a teacher at school who doesn’t like her job; she always tells us how it is hard to be a teacher. And most of my classmates don’t like her lessons, because she talks boring about the subject, doesn’t give us any interesting exercises. I think that it is because our teacher doesn’t like what she doing, doesn’t enjoy the job. In comparison, I have the other teacher her lessons are very interesting; she gives us a good knowledge, amazing exercises; sometimes we play games on her lessons. After the lesson everybody has a good mood and a good knowledge, and I know that she likes her job. She became the best teacher of the year 6 mounts ago, and it confirms that you will a good specialist if you do what you like and what gives you enjoyment.          

         The second place, working in a job you hate is like a torture. Every day every employee who doesn’t enjoy doing the job, but he have to do it because of the money, forces himself to go and work. Of course, if the person forces himself to do something he has a bad mood, and not good efficiency, and he doesn’t want to work qualitatively, just want to do something which is not connected with his job. And he will never be happy and will never have a promotion, has a lot of stress; it is very bad for the health.  Most of the time people can’t stand and dismissed their jobs because of the stress, nerves, and unwillingness to work; people do what they hate doing because of the money, parents, and something else, and it is not always productive.  My friend played the piano for a long time, but he didn’t like it, he did it for his parents. After he had got a diploma he never played. Because he forces himself to play and now he hates doing it.     

         It is very important to understand what job you really like to do, if your decision will be a good for you, you will never be unhappy and will progress. And every person who can’t change his job should remember that he can make his boring job more interesting. 

Internet is the most important development of the last fifty years.

    There were many important scientific and technological developments in the second half of the twentieth century years, such as penicillin, computer, internet, cell phone and many others remarkable and incredible discoveries. I can’t imagine life without internet; it is one of the most important developments in my opinion. There are several reasons why it helps us in our life.
    First of all, the internet is a great keeper of information. We can take knowledge from internet; it could answer the important questions. Study on the internet helps us to keep a lot of time, for example yesterday I was searching information about a famous Russian writer Tolstoy, and it took about 3-5 minutes to find necessary information on the websites, such as Google, Wikipedia, Yandeх and etc. The Internet allows us not to buy books and newspapers in the shops; we could find it for free or buy them on internet with enviable speed. I often listen to music, see some videos and movies, and play games on internet. Thanks to the internet channels, I learn how to cook different dishes, how to draw animals and I can enumerate this list for a long time. My cousin learned to swim on the internet. He looked at the screen and swam on the carpet, like in the lake, it was very funny!
       The second place, Internet has solved a big problem communicating with each other. Directors of old movies predicted the future realistically; they showed people how they would easy communicate with people. In the old fantastic movies people looked at the men and women, who without difficulty, could speak with each other just look at the screen, for people for that time it was too fantastic. Nobody could have imagined how quickly and quietly this fiction will be in their life. Now we can send messages around the world at the touch of a button, we can talk with friend or relatives as part of the world they would be. When my mother was abroad we could speak every day on Skype. In contrast talk on the phone; it was easier and cheaper for us to use Skype. We may share information in social networks; I like social networks such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, VK etc… We could learn about life our favorite singers and actors, politicians, could look at their photos, read their thinking. The social networks help many people to feel freer than in the real world. The third place, we could work on internet, do business, participate in auctions. Many people advertise their products, job on internet, it is very convenient. Meanwhile, there is a lot of garbage on internet; many people use the Internet for their own purposes. Unfortunately, they could harm us. For example, give us a job and then refuse to pay money. Sometimes we spend on internet more time than we really need it, and it is a big minus.

       Of course, the internet has improved our life. And in  my opinion, it has been the single most important development of the last fifty years.

I prefer to spend most of the time with friends.

There are several reasons why prefer to spend most of my time with friends. First of all, very important thing in my life is to communicate with people. I have wonderful friends; we spend a lot of time together. We often discuss some news in our life, movies, music, fashion, weather. Some days ago we were in the cinema, it was so fun! After we had bought a lot of pop-corn, juice, we started watched a fantastic movie "Interstellar". The movie was very interesting. I don't think that I will be so happy to watch the movie along. I spend much time with friends at school, we help to each other to do our homework and help with some difficulties. The second place, spending time with friends gives me a lot of positive. I know that if I am along much time, I start looking for flaws in myself, start to feel lonely. Sometimes every person has some problems, disappointment; when you are in the society most of the time you fell a support, friends can give some piece of advice, can show that there are so many beautiful things in our life, and can listen to you as a psychologist or you just detract from worries, problems. The third place, different people have different knowledge. Some of my friends are good at math, some good at economic, some good at chemistry .We often study from people around. We are changing with knowledge while communicating. I think that every person needs friends; even introvert, the person who often looks inside yourself and doesn’t like communicate with people, needs friends in order to fell happier. I can’t say that I am always with my friends, sometimes I prefer to be along, and it helps me to relax, I understand what I really want to do, I make plans, listen to music, do my homework. I don’t force myself to be with people or to be along, because to be along as important as to be with people. I try to follow what I really need now.

Why I want to study at AUCA. There are several reasons why I want to enter to AUCA. First of all, it’s very important for me to get a quality education, AUCA can give such opportunity. AUCA has a reputation as an honest university; it is the university without corruptions. It means that there are people who study honest and became the best specialists. As is known, many people from AUCA are already working in a prestigious companies and organizations, such as: Google, BBC, USAID, IBM, Cisco Systems, Citibank, Deloitte&Touche and etc. The second reason is the language, I will study in English. It will help me to learn English language perfectly; of course it would help me to communicate with different people, abroad, in work. The third place, American University in the Central Asia helps us to enter and to study. The University gives different opportunities for people who have creative abilities, talents and a bid desire to study at AUCA. That University cooperates with many universities and organizations around the world, it is good opportunity to travel and see more, it is very good chance for me. My goal is to be AUCA’s student, because it is the best university in the Central Asia.

Yes, I have a younger sister. Her name is Darina. She is only 6 month. She is so funny, I like when she smiles. I looked after my sister when my mom is out or when she is busy. I spend about 3-4 hours a day with Darina. Sometimes I go for a walk with her; Darina is always sleeping while we are walking. I like playing with her, I like showing some animals to her. She likes when I sing the song for her, she laughs when I do it. When I was the only child in the family, I very like it and I thought that I do not want a sister or a brother. But, as soon as my younger sister had born, I understood that it is beautiful not to be the only child. It is nice to take care of her. Sometimes I do not have enough time to do my homework and much less time on hobbies. But I love my younger sister very much. I can’t imagine the life without my beloved sister. Oh.. I haven’t read this book, but I want. Do you like the plot of the last book about Harry Potter? What happened with Harry in the last book? Do you want a continuation of the book?
