the most popular entertainment in our home life is television. we have a choice between five channels ort, rtr and 3 commercial channels. there is also a cable tv station in our town. television plays an important role in our life. it informs people about current events both national and international, the latest achievements in science and culture, and offers some programs, which are both interesting and stimulating. every day we can see different tips of programs on tv. news is broadcast at regular intervals. they also present operas, ballets, music concerts and various shows. broadcast for schools are produced on five days of the week, during school hours. in the late afternoon and early evening tv channels showed special programs for children. in the evenings and at weekends there are broadcasts of sports events. a large time of tv evening’s time is occupied by films and serials, but as for me i like quizzes. a quizzes–program is a question and an answer competition which offers money and other prizes and to the winners. such programs as “wonders field”, “brain ring”, what, where, when”, “guess the melody” are me favorite ones, because they are both informative and interesting. but bast of all i like the programs of “travels club”, because it gives me a chance to travel of other the world with out living home. far away countries and their customs and traditional are come into my living room.

the british press. the british press consists of several kinds of newspapers. the national papers are the ones sold all over the country, with a large circulation, giving general news. there are two main types of national paper - the "popular" papers and the "quality" papers. the popular papers are smaller in size (they are tabloid size), with lots of pictures, big headlines and short articles. they are easy to read and often contain little real information. they give much space to opinions. they usually have "human interest" stories - stories about ordinary people and events. examples of this type of newspapers are "the daily mail". "the sun", etc. "quality" papers appeal to the more serious reader, who wants to read about politics and foreign affairs. these papers such as "the daily telegraph", "the guardian" are bigger in size (they are called "broad-sheets"), with longer articles and a wider coverage of events. they have different pages for home news, foreign affairs, features articles, fashion, business, sport and so on. people in britain buy more papers on sunday than on weekdays. the sunday papers have a higher circulation than the dailies. as with the dailies, there are both popular and quality sunday newspapers. the quality ones have different sections and a colour magazine (usually full of advertisements)

if i would have chance to volunteer, i would like to volunteer in the country, which needs it the most. i i would like to go to africa. i want to help children and women- since they are the most vulnerable.

i am also interested in different cultures, and i would not experience it otherwise.  what could be more different, then africa?

i also understand, that besides helping others i would contribute to my career. i am thinking about medical field, and helping others will help me to see if i am strong enough to go this path. 

what could be better, then helping somebody, who needs it the most?
