Radio and television

Of all the discoveries ever made by man, radio, or wireless, is one ofthe most wonderfull. By means of wireless, you can speak to a man on theother side of the world. Seated confortably in your own home, you canhear music or talking, broadcast thousand of miles away from you — talkson national and international affairs, on science, history and othereducational subjects.

I listen to the wireless almost every evening, mine radio set is splendid. It has medium, long andshort wave-lenghts and it is quite simple to manipulate. All I have to dois to tune into the station I need.

I use my set a good deal for improving my English.
