I. Task 1 Reading. Read the text and mark the sentences 1-4 True or False.: Virtual reality

Not long ago computers were considered an amazing invention. Today they form part of our everyday life. The latest thing today is Virtual Reality. A Virtual Reality system can transport the user to exotic locations such as a beach in Hawaii or the inside of the human body.

The Virtual Reality system is still in the early stages of its development. At the moment it is necessary to put a large helmet on your head to see the simulated world and you have to wear a special glove on your hand in order to manipulate the objects you see there. Lenses and two miniature display screens inside the helmet create the illusion that the screen surrounds you on every side.

You can «look behind» computer— generated objects, pick them up and examine them, walk around and see things from a different angle.

Already today Virtual Reality is used in medicine. In hospitals, surgeons could plan operations by first «travelling» through the brain, heart or lungs without damaging the body. It is also used in police training schools. In schools pupils could explore the Great Pyramid or study molecules from the inside. Developers of Virtual Reality say its potential is powerful.

The word which comes closest to describing Virtual Reality is «simulator». Virtual Reality technology resembles the flight simulators that are used to train pilots. But of course there are dangers as well as benefits.

Task 2 writing

How many people, so many opinions, but still you can distinguish both the pros and cons of virtual reality. Positive characteristics include the following parameters:

Interact with games on a new, impressive level. This has never happened before. Sitting at home, you can travel to ancient Egypt or fight in space for a new planet. Since what is happening in the device seems real, then the emotions from this are genuine.

Good leisure. After a hard school or work day, you can immerse yourself in a fantastic world, forgetting about all the problems, without leaving home.

Development of non-standard thinking. Sometimes in games you have to react immediately, otherwise there is no way. Without this ability, they can't "survive", so gamers need to adapt.

Disadvantages:

Stress on the nervous system. Due to the fact that in horror movies, the feeling of fear is achieved due to loud sounds and a sharp change in the picture, this can negatively affect the gamer's nervous system.

High price of the device. Augmented reality is not a cheap toy, and you will have to pay for such a pleasure, and pay a lot.

It takes a lot of time. Playing games and watching movies in VR takes a long time, and you may not notice how deep the night has already come.
