Задание 2. Прочитайте и переведите статью.

Both the Internet and television are the forms of Mass Media that's why they have some similar features. First of all, they keep people informed. It means that we can get to know about the latest world news due to them, find educational information, articles connected with your hobbies and the like. Secondly, both television and the Net gather big audiences so people can find new topics to discuss. Moreover, it gives a wonderful opportunity to communicate with other people. Certainly, it's not a direct communication and the Internet and TV can't change real friends but they just give extra-chances to active people.

TV and the Net are similar in the way they give us information. TV-sets and computers have colorful screens and special sound appliances. Here I'd like to say that one of their disadvantages is a bad influence on health because users are glued to these screens. So we can say the way of giving us information isn't very convenient and healthy.

However TV and the Web differ very much. The main advantage of the Internet which I appreciate very much is that you don't depend on somebody or something. There's no schedule! You just start up your computer and begin surfing the Internet looking for whatever you want. I consider that if you want to know the latest news it's better to log on the Net. There you'll choose the topic and read or watch not one but lots of articles on it. Isn't it comfortable? And you're not told about crimes, crashes, violence every time (compare with TV news!).

On the Internet you can find not only small news items but big articles on different subjects and even books. To my mind, articles are very useful: they play a big educational role. What about virtual books? Well, I'd rather read paper books. For me reading good books associates with pleasant moments, such as sitting in the armchair, drinking tea and dreaming. Can reading from the screen be so nice? I think, no. Besides, it causes heavy eyestrain and backache.

Nowadays people search for different sorts of music, videos, films in the Web. So do I.

I prefer the Internet to TV because I can find there my favorite music whenever I want. Fortunately, the Internet in our country is quite good, the speed is fast and it's possible to watch, for instance, a long film there.
