Card 12. Let’s talk about the mass media

1. What is the role of mass media in the life of contemporary society?

We live in the era of information. It’s impossible to imagine our life without media. The mass media include newspapers, magazines, radio, television and the Internet. These media have become as important for people as food or clothing.Media is the best way to spread knowledge, information and news from one part of the world to the other. It is also a source of entertainment. Companies use the media to promote their company product. The mass media have become one of the main instrument of political change.The mass media has the power to shape our values. They say, “Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.” It means that mass media has a huge impact on our life. We should know about the impact of the mass media and have our own opinion.

2. Do you agree that all means of mass communication are very effective? Prove your point of view.
I disagree. Let’s take television and newspapers, for example. Television can broadcast live while newspapers have to be printed before they reach the reader. As for the Internet news, it is the quickest, the most convenient and thus the most effective means of mass communication.

3. What can you ask a British teenager about the mass media in his/her country?
What mass media are most popular in your country?
What is the main broadcasting company in the UK?
Is it true that The BBC is the most objective in news reporting?
Do people in your country subscribe to or buy newspapers?

4. Give me a piece of advice on how to decide if the information on the Internet is reliable or not.
Don’t rely on public chats, forums or individual blogs. They may be writing their own opinion. Get information from reliable sites. Verify if the site is reliable by checking its domain name and the author’s credentials.

5. Can the Internet replace other mass media? What is your opinion?
Maybe yes, maybe no. The Internet is a great source of information and entertainment for many people. But there are always those who prefer reading a newspaper or watching TV. We’ll live and see.

Mass Media

The mass media play an important role in our lives. Newspapers, radio and especially TV inform us of what is going on in this world and give us wonderful possibilities for education and entertainment. They also influence the way we see the world and shape our views.

Of course, not all newspapers and TV programmes report the events objectively, but serious journalists and TV reporters try to be fair and provide us with reliable information.

It is true that the world today is full of dramatic events and most news seems to be bad news. But people aren’t interested in ordinary events. That is why there are so many programmes and articles about natural disasters, plane crashes, wars, murders and robberies. Good news doesn’t usually make headlines. Bad news does.

Some people say that journalists are given too much freedom. They often intrude in people’s private lives. They follow celebrities and print sensational stories about them which are untrue or half-true. They take photos of them in their most intimate moments. The question is — should this be allowed?

The main source of news for millions of people is television. People like TV news because they can see everything with their own eyes. And that’s an important advantage. Seeing, as we know, is believing. Besides, it’s much more difficult for politicians to lie in front of the cameras than on the pages of newspapers.

Still, many people prefer radio. It’s good to listen to it in the car, or in the open air, or when you do something about the house.

Newspapers don’t react to events as quickly as TV, but they usually provide us with extra details, comments and background information.

The Internet has recently become another important source of information. Its main advantage is that news appears on the screen as soon as things happen in real life and you don’t have to wait for news time on TV.

Средства массовой информации

Средства массовой информации играют важную роль в нашей жизни. Газеты, радио и особенно телевидение, сообщают нам о том, что происходит в этом мире и дают прекрасные возможности для обучения и развлечений. Они также влияют на то, как мы видим мир и формируют нашу точку зрения.

Конечно, не все газеты и телевизионные программы освещают события объективно, но серьезные журналисты и тележурналисты стараются быть справедливыми и предоставлять нам достоверную информацию.

Это правда, что сегодня мир полон драматических событий и большинство новостей кажутся плохими. Но люди не заинтересованы в обычных событиях. Поэтому есть так много программ и статей о стихийных бедствиях, авиакатастрофах, войнах, убийствах и грабежах. Хорошие новости как правило, не делают заголовки. Плохие новости делают.

Некоторые люди говорят, что журналистам дается слишком много свободы. Они часто вторгаются в частную жизнь людей. Они преследуют знаменитостей и печатают сенсационные рассказы о них, которые являются ложными или наполовину правдивыми. Они фотографируют их в самые интимные моменты. Вопрос — должно ли это быть разрешено?

Основным источником информации для миллионов людей является телевидение. Людям нравятся телевизионные новости, поскольку они могут увидеть все собственными глазами. И это важное преимущество. Видя, как мы знаем, веришь. Кроме того, для политиков гораздо сложнее врать перед камерами, чем на страницах газет.

Тем не менее, многие люди предпочитают радио. Его хорошо слушать в машине, на открытом воздухе, или когда вы что-то делаете по дому.

Газеты не реагируют на события так быстро, как телевидение, но они обычно дают нам дополнительные подробности, комментарии и справочную информацию.

Интернет в последнее время стал еще одним важным источником информации. Его главное преимущество в том, что новости на экране появляются, как только они происходят в реальной жизни, и вам не придется ждать времени новостей на телевидении.

Mass Effect is a science fiction media franchise set in an alternate universe in the 3rd millennium developed by the Canadian video game company BioWare. Composed of multi-platform video games and associated media, the core of the franchise is an eponymous trilogy of action role-playing third-person shooter video games, released between 2007 and 2012, which follow Commander Shepard’s mission to save the galaxy from a race of mechanical beings known as the Reapers. A fourth main series game, Mass Effect: Andromeda, was released in 2017. The Mass Effect franchise also includes three mobile games, each with a different gameplay style; seven novels, some written by BioWare writers and some by science fiction authors; four art books; ten comic book series or mini-comics and their anthologies; a coloring book; an animated film; a 3D theme park ride; and eleven soundtrack albums or singles.

The video games have had high sales, with the last major game of the original trilogy, Mass Effect 3, shipping over 3.5 million copies in its first week of release.^[1] Reception of other media in the franchise has been mixed: the comics, such as Mass Effect: Redemption, have been praised for their writing, and novels such as Mass Effect: Revelation have been recommended to fans of the games; but Mass Effect: Deception was derided as inconsistent with the main trilogy.^[2]^[3]^[4] The first part of the franchise—the first game—was published in 2007, while the latest game was published in 2017 and the latest piece of media in 2018.

Данный текст «The Role of Mass Media» не является образцом для письменной работы, например, такой как эссе, и, тем более, топиком для заучивания. Однако он содержит много аргументов и полезных выражений по теме «Средства массовой информации», некоторые из которых вы вполне можете использовать в своем собственном высказывании.

Text «The Role of Mass Media»

It has always been impossible to imagine our life without the mass media. The most ancient mass media are books. Nowadays the most important mass media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and the Internet.

All mass media are supposed to inform, educate and entertain people. Subconsciously they influence the way people look at the world and make them change their views. They even help to mould public opinion.

Let us consider the advantages and disadvantages of different mass media.

On the one hand, radio, television and the press are valuable because they help to get the latest news, including the weather forecast. We can get information from the Internet in a few minutes. Besides, listening to the radio, watching films on TV, reading the press or navigating the Internet is a good way to relax.

On the other hand, the mass media usually focus on negative information. Watching news programs we primarily learn about war, crimes, disasters, and accidents. Negative information causes stress and bad mood. Some children may become aggressive if they watch violent programmes. What is more, there is a lot of gossip in the press and on TV. The latter is also abounds in stupid chat shows, endless daily soap operas and terrible action films.

Some people are complaining that nowadays the media are full of violence and advertising. On the whole, it is true. But nobody makes you to watch it. You have a choice and you are free to choose.

The situation is the same with the Internet, which is considered to be the newest kind of mass media. It’s a powerful means of communication and a great source of information which helps in school studies. As for me, I use the Internet for finding information and for communicating with my mates. I also download music and films.

To sum up, the mass media are an essential part of modern society. We are able to benefit from their advantages and have to copy with their disadvantages.

Some more facts:

Some young people can’t do without a mobile, even in the underground or during the lunch break. …..
There are dozens of radio stations in Russia. Most of them broadcast music of a definite style, for example Radio Chanson broadcasts Russian chanson.
There are talk shows and intellectual quizzes on many radio stations. Radio has another advantage: you can do something and listen to the radio at the same time.
Nowadays many families have several TV sets. Both television and the Internet give people a chance to learn about the world.
