Номер 88, страница 27 - гдз по английскому языку 7 класс (enjoy english) учебник Биболетова

88 Read what four people think about computers. Who do you agree with? Why?

Clare (17): I really enjoy using my computer. It's so interesting. I can make new friends and chat with them on the Internet. Now I have two close friends from Italy and Canada. Next summer we are going to meet in Paris and spend a week together visiting museums and painting. Painting is our hobby. Besides, the Internet helps me in my studies. I can find the necessary information and ideas on the Internet and then use it in my work.

Jason (12): I'm learning how to use the computer. It's very important for me because I want to be a computer programmer. I enjoy playing computer games. It's so exciting. Sometimes I am lucky and sometimes I am not, but I hate losing and try my chances again and again.

Mr O'Neal (their father): Computers offer wonderful opportunities for everybody. But I think that young people spend too much time using computers. They don't have time (and sometimes wish) for communication with their relatives and friends, for reading, sport and other traditional hobbies. Computers are dangerous and addictive¹.

Mrs O'Neal (their mother): I hate computers. Children sit in front of them for hours. It's bad for their eyes. They can't stop playing computer games. They become nervous, angry and tired. Computers are a waste of time. Children use them only for games and don't really learn anything.

Прочтите, что думают о компьютерах четыре человека. С кем вы согласны? Почему?

Ответ:

I agree with Clare and Jason. I think computers offer many great opportunities for learning, like programming, and for connecting with friends, just like Clare mentioned making friends from Italy and Canada. Playing computer games is also a lot of fun, as Jason said, as long as you don't play too much. While I understand Mr and Mrs O'Neal's concerns about spending too much time on computers and the potential negative effects on health or traditional hobbies, I believe that with balanced use, computers are a very valuable tool for both education and entertainment.

Я согласен с Клэр и Джейсоном. Я думаю, что компьютеры предоставляют множество прекрасных возможностей для обучения, например, программированию, и для общения с друзьями, как Клэр упомянула о знакомстве с друзьями из Италии и Канады. Играть в компьютерные игры также очень весело, как сказал Джейсон, если только не играть слишком много. Хотя я понимаю опасения мистера и миссис О'Нил по поводу того, что слишком много времени проводится за компьютерами, и потенциальных негативных последствий для здоровья или традиционных хобби, я считаю, что при сбалансированном использовании компьютеры являются очень ценным инструментом как для образования, так и для развлечений.
