To begin with every day we  need some information. it may be information of all kinds: about sport, about study, about health. there are many ways to recieve any information you need:   from newspapers and magazines, tv and radio programmes. on the one hand,   radio is less popular than newspapers or tv. as for me i listen to the radio only in a car and in a bus, i don't listen to the radio at school or at home except the time when i do my homework. but very seldom, because i have internet and i prefer listening some music and news using it not radio. of course, i know some radio stations such as "mayak", "russain radio" and "eho moskvy" (эхо москвы - название передач не переводится на иностранный язык) and my favourite radio programme is "virgin" because they play rock and popular music 24 hours a day.   on the other hand, when we speak about mass media i always speak about tv and tv programmes. millions of people are fond of watching.  there are many different tv programmes, shows, soups, interesting films,  advertisements, news, plays to watch. for example, my parents spend a lot of time watching everything.  of course, sometimes they show something interesting but not very often.   if somewhere something important or dangerous takes place journalists will report these events on tv, but their endless soups are awful. other people say that television is becoming a national disease. i agree with them.  in conclusion, i want to say that lots of my friends are fond of watching but i have to confess, i hate tv programmes. i think it's waste of time. and i think that they damage their eyes, become lazy, put on their weight and have no time to do sports or to read books.  i prefer doing sports, playing games in the open air and taking part in different sport competitions.       начну с того, что каждый день нам нужна информация. это может быть информация любого вида: о спорте, об учебе, о здоровье. есть много способов, чтобы получить любую необходимую информацию: из газет и журналов, теле-и радиопрограмм. с одной стороны,   радио менее популярно, чем газеты или телевидение. что касается меня, я слушаю радио только в машине и в автобусе, я не слушаю радио в школе или дома, за исключением времени, когда я делаю . но редко, потому что у меня есть интернет и я предпочитаю слушать музыку и новости, используя его, а не радио. конечно, я знаю некоторые радиостанции, такие как "маяк", " радио» и «эхо москвы", а моя любимая радиопрограмма "вирджи", потому что они рок и поп-музыку 24 часа в сутки.   c другой стороны, когда мы говорим о масс-медиа, я всегда говорю о телевидении и телепрограммах. миллионы людей любят смотреть телевизор. есть много различных телевизионных программ, шоу, сериалов, интересных фильмов, рекламных роликов, новостей, пьес, которые можно посмотреть по телевизору. например, мои родители проводят много времени, смотря все подряд. конечно, иногда по телевизору показывают что-то интересное, но не часто. если где-то что-то важное или опасное происходит, журналисты сообщат об этих событиях по телевидению, но их бесконечные сериалы - это ужасно. другие люди говорят, что телевидение становится национальной болезнью. я с ними согласен. в заключении хочу сказать, что многие мои друзья любят смотреть телевизор, но я должен признаться, я ненавижу телевизионные программы. я думаю, что это пустая трата времени. и я думаю, что они портят зрение, становятся ленивыми, увеличивают свой вес и не имеют времени, чтобы заниматься спортом или читать книги. я предпочитаю заниматься спортом, играть в игры на открытом воздухе и принимать участие в различных спортивных соревнованиях.
