Why TV commercials are important to us

Why you like it very much
You know Some eo Ie who watch TV uite often believe
that TV commercials are better than the programs In the past,
w didn't have so many commercials oll1>i:itnow we have
pi nty of them before, in-, e middle and after each pro ram I
think TV commercial add ariety to the programs because
metimes the program _.~ecomes- -_ ve~ monotonous and some~
V commercials give ou a chance f9r ~ent.You can see
diff rent people, characters and cartoons in a couple of minutes
I gues the commercial I like very much is sponsor_e~ a
dory making washing powder It is about a pro uct called
NO ryan which in English means "the sea" A couple are asked
how they spend the weekend and they say "beside Darya"

Talk about your favourite writer (author)
Talk about:
Who he or she is Who introduced him to you What his or her best work is What he or she usually writes about
First of all, I believe that a good writer can change th~_w~orl~ with his works comm -en1s words creativity and even by his
sense of our Writin makes the difference between civilized man and bar arians In other words, writers were the real emperors of new civilization anc,i c:ultlJ~e They conquered the h~s and minds of people The writer I admire so l1! uch is [5:iar IwalD, He was introduced to me by a teacher, Ig~ess he was our Math teacher He has written several mast~rPl~ces. I suppose his best work is "Adventures of Huckl~berry Fi~n" since it depicts the w'!.y a white boy and a Negro can 1.lve together in piece This book, in my opinion, is~ ra_C1s~ and discrimination He wrote about social issues in ,!_Ianguage that is understandable to everyo[1e Hemingway says Huckleberry Finn is the basis of western literature and I agree ,with him This book 'impressed me a lot It somehow affected
m later life I talk about that in different occasions and encourage people to read it It's wortb r~gdj.IL ore than_once

there two years ago I was in eal, a bilingual city where
many people speak both languages, but most of t -em-speak
either English or Frenc~.It is a ve nice country and the l2eople

You should mention:
Your relationship to him or her How he or she looks~
What he or she is like
I should say the one in my family who I really look up to, of course besides my parents, is my elder sister She's four years older than me There is this gap between her and me as far as age is concerned but I think it works in my favour Yo~ kn?w I've had friends who were in more or less the same situation and they were always complaining that they can't get along well with their siblings, but that's not the case with me Well to be honest I can't say we are always laughing with each other and things like that but she does have a good sense of humour One thing that is quite interesting to me is how we can convey what is going on in our minds by the way we look Well I'm not sure if she understands it too I hope I'm not too predictable (1) I think I can have an insight into her mind by her facial expressions I always turn to her for advice on how to do my works or specially for book suggestions because she's really into books and she is often very friendly and patient In a sense she's everything I want to be in future

One invention that was introduced before computers were invented was Radio I think in some ways it revolutionized means of communication that were available at the time and when it was mass-produced and it was affordable by all people
it really brought something lets say interesting into lives People would spend time together listening to radio programs
or people who were alone found a new companion It~Iso helped educating people a lot and managed to deliver information to different places and I think we can say it was the beginning of a new era Still I think it had some disadvantages but then again every new invention has its disadvantages you know we see how people talk about internet addiction and disadvantages of the internet well I can imagine at the time radio was introduced the same problems emerged But anyway I think radio acted as ste[lQ.l!l8=slQnes for the age of technology and it brought people closerto each other and tried to make the world a better place to live
