Read the text and mark the sentences True or False. About Mass Media
Modern world is full of information of various kinds which sometimes is even more valuable than money. Mass
media (the press, radio, television and Internet) have a very big impact on modern society. They serve to inform
people of different events, educate, entertain and give us any kinds of information. Complete and accurate
information is very important to get nowadays.
The press still remains one of the most powerful kinds of mass media. One can find daily, weekly and monthly
newspapers and magazines on different topics such as fashion, sport, children, politics, economy and others. I
prefer getting news from the Internet. My future profession will deal with fashion so I often buy monthly fashion
magazines like Vogue or Cosmopolitan or read they in the Internet.
Television plays a big role in our society too and a lot of people prefer watching television to reading a
newspaper. Television provides a great opportunity for people to learn latest news, watch educational
programmes, children's programmes, old and new films and soap operas on TV.
As for me, I usually watch documentaries and game shows on television. My mother prefers sitcoms and sports
programmes; my father watches educational programmes and political talk shows. I think that it is impossible to
live without television, even though the Internet, I am sure, will replace it one day in future.
Radio is less popular than newspapers and television, but still people listen to it in cars or at work. I usually listen
to online radio stations while I am doing my homework or jogging.
