Mass Media — Средства массовой информации (3)

Mass media or mass communications are the press, radio and television.
Every day we read newspapers and magazines, listen to radio and watch TV. Nowadays there are so many newspapers and magazines, radio stations and TV channels that we have to be very — selective and give preference^to some of them.
What newspapers and magazines do I prefer to read? I like to read the following newspapers: «Komsomolskaya Pravda», («KomsomolTruth»), «Nezavisimost» («Independence»), «Argumenty i Fakty» («Arguments and Facts»).
Several periodicals are available in English. As far as newspapers are concerned they may be daily, or weekly. Magazines may be weekly, monthly and quarterly.
The newspapers and magazines I read are the most readable and have a large readership or circulation. For example, » Argumenty i Fakty» has a circulation of more than 23 000 000. It is the largest in the world. The newspapers

contain and give coverage of local, home and foreign affairs. Their publications deal with very burning problems of our history, latest events and forecasts for future. They also touch upon cultural, sport news. I like the way they present different points of view, approaches to the problems. My parents and I subscribe to some periodicals, so we are subscribers. We buy some of newspapers and magazines in a kiosk.
I often listen to radio, especially in the morning before I leave for school. I prefer to listen to «Mayak» («Lighthouse») programm. They broadcast much news and music. I like to listen to weekend programmes, some of them are very amusing and entertaining.
As to the TV, we have 24 channels. I prefer to watch youth programmes.
In addition I like to see interesting films. They might be feature, adventure, scientific, horror, cartoon and other films. I enjoy seeing Walt Disney’s cartoons. Now and then I like to see the programme «Love at First Sight». It is an enjoyable and entertaining one.

массовой информации — это пресса, радио и телевидение.
Каждый день мы читаем газеты и журналы, слушаем радио и смотрим телевизор. В наше время существует так много газет и журналов, радиостанций и телевизионных каналов, что нам нужно быть очень разборчивыми и отдавать предпочтение некоторым из них.
Какие газеты и журналы я предпочитаю читать? Я люблю читать следующие газеты и журналы: «Комсомольская правда», «Аргументы и факты», «Независимость».
Некоторые периодические издания можно читать на английском языке. Что касается газет, они могут быть ежедневными или же еженедельными. Журналы могут быть еженедельными, ежемесячными и ежеквартальными.
Газеты и журналы, которые я читаю, самые интересные. Их читают многие и они издаются большими тиражами. Например, «Аргументы и факты» издаются тиражом 23 млн экземпляров. Это самый большой тираж в мире. Газеты содержат и освещают новости внутри страны и за рубежом., Их публикации посвящены актуальным проблемам нашей истории, последним событиям и прогнозам на будущее. Они также затрагивают культурные и спортивные новости. Мне нравится, как подаются различные точки зрения и подходы к проблемам. Я и мои родители подписываемся на некоторые периодические издания. Некоторые газеты и журналы мы покупаем в киоске.
Я часто слушаю радио, особенно утром, перед тем как идти в школу. Предпочитаю слушать программу «Маяк». Там передают много новостей и музыки. Мне нравится слушать программы в выходные дни. Некоторые из них очень забавные и интересные.
Что касается телевидения, у нас 24 канала. Мне нравится смотреть молодежные программы. Кроме этого, я люблю смотреть интересные фильмы. Это могут быть художественные фильмы, приключенческие, научные фильмы, фильмы ужасов, мультипликационные и др. Я получаю удовольствие, когда смотрю мультфильмы Уолта Диснея. Иногда смотрю программу «Любовь с первого взгляда». Она интересная и развлекательная.
