The Internet is also widely used for entertainment – you can watch a film online or play computer game
for shopping online, for work…
2. The Internet also offers a lot of opportunities for students – they can have lessons online, look up new words in online dictionaries and encyclopedias, watch documentaries and films in English and find any information they need for their homework and projects

I’m going to give a talk about school.
My school day starts at 7 o’clock and I usually have 6 or 7 classes a day. This year we are having additional lessons to prepare for the exams. I also have a lot of homework to do and that’s because I go to bed late
What I like most about my school is that it is a modern building with lots of facilities. We have 3 gyms…..
I also really appreciate my friends – we chat about everything , they support me a lot and we always have fun!
It is the reason why I prefer classroom learning- it’s easier to study together with my classmates, and I can always ask my teachers to explain complicated tasks
I like school in general , but I think there are things to improve – first of all, we need an additional day off and I think that school uniform is not necessary

for studying abroad
to find work in other countries
to communicate with people all over the world as English is globally used to develop their mind, improve memory and learn other cultures better

3. These days there are a lot of opportunities to prepare for the English exam. We can read books in English, watch films, use online dictionaries, join language speaking groups, etc
4. I think learning languages has become very popular. For me it’s a fantastic hobby. It makes my life more interesting because:
I can speak to natives
watch films in English

A career choice is a very important decision that affects the whole person’s life. People not only earn their living but spend a lot of time on work.

Nowadays, a healthy lifestyle has become a part of our life.
It is popular because everybody is determined to be in good shape, to stay healthy and to enjoy physical, mental and emotional health. People also want to increase their life span.
To keep fit I:
- drink a lot of pure water to boost my energy level and to wash away toxins off my body
-sleep at least 8 hours a day to be active and to be able to concentrate on my studies
-do exercises /any sport to be energetic and cope with stress better
- eat healthy food rich in vitamins, trace elements and proteins, etc.
The most popular sports activity in my region is
- playing football because it develops stamina, agility and team spirit.
- skateboarding
- yoga, dancing, cycling + сформулируйте почему
I think it is very important to lead a healthy lifestyle if you want to be active. I’d better avoid bad habits like smoking, eating junk food or just vegetating in front of the screen.
