Ваш зарубежный друг считает, что компьютер вреден для здоровья. Вы с ним не согласны. Докажите, что он ошибается. Приведите не менее двух причин в пользу использования компьютера.
S: Hey, …., how often do use computer?
T: Frankly speaking, I don’t use it very often – sometimes I type an essay. And what about you?
S: You see, I’m going to become a computer programmer, that’s why I spend much time in front of the computer.
T: Don’t you think it is bad to spend so much time in front of the computer?
S: I’m sorry, I don’t agree with you. What is bad in using a computer?
T: I think it is harmful for your eyesight.
S: I don’t think so. Yes, I know that there are people who spend 12 hours or more looking at a screen and doing nothing else. But it’s not about me. I use the computer sensibly (разумно). I don’t like to play computer games, I prefer creating computer projects. Besides, I don’t work at it for hours, not more than 2 hours a day. Moreover, don’t you think that in our multi-media society it’s simply impossible to live without computers or the Internet?
T: No, I don`t have an access to the Internet.
S: I use it every day! I read the news on the Internet, chat with my friends. To my mind, with the help of the Internet we can understand science, medicine and arts better. In this global network you can find any information in a few minutes. It keeps people informed about current events, the latest achievements in science and culture.
T: Right, right. You say you like chatting with your friends, don’t you think it’s boring “to chat” with somebody by typing messages?
S: Come on! I’m sure you know you can do “voice chats” if you have a microphone. By the way, you are interested in foreign languages. You can chat with people from France, Japan, Argentina…. It’s not expensive, it’s like using a telephone but much cheaper.
T: Oh, that sounds like a good way to practice foreign languages.
S: Yes, besides on the Internet there are various kinds of material for students: texts, exercises; you can download video- films and radio- programmes in foreign languages. You say you sometimes type essays. I know a lot of interesting sites where you can find a lot of information on different subjects, unusual facts, the latest data, and pictures for your presentations. I don`t know how you can do without a computer in your everyday life.
T: Mm… You may be right; computers have become part of peoples` life. But I’m afraid a computer is bad for our health.
S: I can’t agree with you. I’m sure a computer is one of the wonders of modern world simply we should learn to use it effectively and safely for your health. You must know where to stop, and everything will be OK.
