Читать книгу Топики на английском языке - - Страница 5

Now I would like to tell you about reading the post from the Internet.

In fact, reading plays a very important role in the life of people. Books are a great source of information, knowledge and enlightenment [ɪn’laɪtnmənt] (просвещение).

Nowadays, people read more from their phones, laptops, computers and tablets. I think this happens for a number of reasons. Firstly, now almost each person has at least one of these devises. They can access the Internet from them easily. Therefore, they can download any book from the Internet and read it everywhere they go. It is very convenient. Secondly, there are a large number of sites which offer to do it for free. Moreover, on these sites you are offered a large number of different books, even the newest. So, you do not waste your time and money going to the bookshops or libraries.

Indeed, I read posts, news and other information from the Internet almost every day. Personally, I cannot imagine my life without the Internet. It helps me to get in touch with my friends, to be abreast [ə’brest] (быть в курсе) the news in the world, to find useful information to do my homework.

As for me, I have two accounts in the social networks. The first one is in Vkontakte, the second one is in Telegram. I use them to communicate with my friends and relatives. My favourite website is Vkontakte because the interface is very simple and there are a lot of developed features [’fi: ʧəz] (разработанные функции) in it such as music compositions, communities [kə’mju: nɪtɪz] (сообщества), podcasts, videos and useful news.

Actually, I usually use my phone to read posts from the Internet when I have free time and it can be everywhere: in transport when I go somewhere, at home, at school during the breaks.

In conclusion, I would like to say that the Internet has changed our life drastically [’dræstɪklɪ] (радикально, кардинально). It can be very useful, for example, on the Internet you can book tickets, buy different goods at the e-shops, read the latest news and communicate with other people.

Thank you for listening.
