2. How are your media habits similar to or different from other people in your family?
My media habits are similar to my family's in that we all watch television, especially news and movies, and sometimes listen to the radio in the car. However, I read news online much more than I read physical newspapers, while my parents sometimes read printed newspapers. My grandparents often listen to the radio for news and music at home, which I do less frequently.
Мои медиа-привычки похожи на привычки моей семьи тем, что мы все смотрим телевизор, особенно новости и фильмы, и иногда слушаем радио в машине. Однако я читаю новости онлайн гораздо чаще, чем физические газеты, тогда как мои родители иногда читают печатные газеты. Мои бабушка и дедушка часто слушают радио для новостей и музыки дома, что я делаю реже.
