You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

The mass media play an important part in our lives. Newspapers, radio and especially TV inform I us of what is going on in this world. 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 just in ordinary events. That is why there are so many programmes and articles about natural disasters, plane crashes, wars, murders and robberies. The main source of news for millions of people is television. Still, many people prefer the radio. It’s good to listen to in the car 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 detail. 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.

4) advantages of the device over the others
