My thoughts about science
Nowadays people live in the era of progress and development that provides a wide range of opportunities for everyone. Using accumulated knowledge, people can make discoveries and inventions, which seemed incredible not long ago.Every science has an experience that gives a great opportunity to everyone to reach his own goals and realize his own dreams. It is very important for every person to figure out what science can help to get these opportunities.
To my mind, some sciences are sure to be learned. It is a well-known fact that science is an important part of many different kinds of jobs. Doctors study diseases and discover new cures and treatments. Chemists invent new medicines. Agricultural scientists help to bring fresh nutritious products to our supermarkets. These are just a few examples. You can find many more examples of science on the ground, in the skies, and in the oceans.
Science produces useful models, which allow us to make various useful predictions and attempts to describe what already exists. So, science is a very useful tool. It is a basis of understanding that allows us to act more effectively concerning our surroundings and to better adapt and evolve. Modern science has revealed insights about the
Universe that were unimagined just a few generations ago. Surely some are important for understanding the overall context that gives meaning and significance to our lives. In recent years, scientists of the world have achieved great success in the development of physics, chemistry, biology, and such astonishing, interesting science as psychology.
However, scientific discoveries can also have a negative impact. Some of the latest technological advances that make our life easier or more enjoyable have proven to have unwanted and often unexpected long-term effects. Industrial and agricultural chemicals pollute the global environment, even in such remote areas as Antarctica, and city air is much contaminated by toxic gases from vehicle exhausts.
All in all, we should be very careful using new scientific discoveries and technologies not to damage the world we live in and save our planet for further generations.

It is very important for every person to find out that science can help to obtain these opportunities.
In my opinion, some sciences will undoubtedly spread. It is a well-known fact that science is an important part of many different types of work. Doctors study diseases and discover new drugs and treatments. Chemists invent new drugs. Agricultural scientists are helping to bring fresh, nutritious food to our supermarkets. These are just a few examples. You can find many more examples of science in both the skies and oceans.
Science produces useful models that allow us to make various useful predictions and attempts to describe what already exists. Science is a very useful tool. This is the basis for understanding what allows us to act more effectively in relation to our environment and better adapt and develop. Modern science has revealed a deeper understanding of the universe that was unimaginable just a few generations ago. Of course, the context that gives meaning and meaning to our lives is important for understanding. In recent years, scientists around the world have made great strides in the development of physics, chemistry, biology and such an amazing, interesting science as psychology.
However, scientific discoveries can also have negative consequences. Some of the latest technological advances that make our lives easier and more enjoyable have had unwanted and often unexpected long-term consequences. Industrial and agricultural chemicals pollute the environment even in remote areas such as Antarctica, and urban air is polluted by toxic vehicle exhaust fumes.
Overall, we must be very careful when using new scientific discoveries and technologies to avoid damaging the world we live in and to save our planet for future generations.
Science and technology
We live in the fascinating and challenging world of science. It is a world that more and more over the ages, and especially in the 20th century has come to affect so much of our lives. It is involved with the way we travel, the homes we live in and the clothes we wear, how we become ill and how medicine can make us better, and has given us fantastic means of communicating and exploring.
Technological advances are changing our lives very rapidly. Nowadays we can"t do without such gadgets as mobile phones, PCs, digital tape recorders, air conditioners, fax machines and so on. Many people feel ill at ease without their laptop computers or GPS navigation systems. In my opinion, technology facilitates our lives and saves our time. Computers help us do the most difficult sums and investigate complicated data. People do business, communicate and do the shopping via the Internet. It is much easier to do housework nowadays, thanks to electric equipment such as microwave ovens, washing machines and so on.
The list of the inventions is rather long. We are on-lookers of great scientific achievements such as television and a computer. We can't imagine our life without a notebook or a radio
A computer gives a lot of advantages to a user. The list of the advantages is rather long: computers give us access to the Internet- an international computer network. You can spread a lot of your free time surfing the Internet and get all sorts of information from it. You can enter the chat room with other Internet users and debate urgent problems on line. If you are connectable by e-mail, you can correspond with your own web page and place there information about yourself.
Today computers help people to do many things.
Telephone operators use them to put calls through. Without computers, weather forecasters would make more mistakes. Computers also help scientists to solve their problems.
Computers also help doctors to treat patients. Computers allow users to spend their free time and relax. But computers have some disadvantages. Computers can make people lazy. People waste their time when they play different games on a computer. People forget to go to the libraries, they often find information on the Internet. Wicked games can make people, especially children aggressive and stupid.
But in my view they have more advantages, that disadvantages. It"s an open secret that the computer is a source of education, entertainment and communication. And in my life the computer plays a very important role. It helps me to find information and relax.
However, many people say that technology makes us lazier and weaker. For example, such technological developments as the telephone and the Internet have made communication much easier, but they can cause the loss of social interaction. A lot of people prefer communicating through a keyboard than face to face. That is why people don"t meet as often as they did in the past. A lot of people are fond of watching TV and playing computer games. They spend hours in front of the screen. They have no time to read books or to communicate with their friends. They move less, speak less and they even think less. Of course, such way of life does much harm to their health. To sum up, people should continue to develop technology, but they must do it wisely. Otherwise we may regret in the future.
Nowadays people can't imagine their lives without different technical devices. Every day we use computers, laptops, mobile phones, i-Pods, digital tape recorders and so on. I have always wondered if our lives could be better without these technical devices. Personally, I can't do without my computer as it helps me study. For example, it helps me prepare reports and create beautiful presentations. Besides, the computer is a great source of entertainment. I often play computer games, watch films or listen to music. The Internet helps me learn the latest news, access useful information, communicate with my friends and what not. A mobile phone is a vital part of my daily life. It gives me an opportunity to be reachable everywhere and to keep in touch with my friends. However, many people say that technical devices enslave those who use them. Besides, they do much harm to our health. For example, if people spend much time in front of the screen, they have problems with their eyesight and sleep. They don"t go out or exercise, they feel exhausted and depressed. Computer games can cause addiction and make people aggressive. As for mobile phones, they use electromagnetic radiation which can influence our health in a negative way. To conclude, I would prefer a technological way of life to a natural one, though it has a number of disadvantages. In my opinion, modern society can't do without progress and technology. People can avoid the risk to human life and health if they use technological devices wisely.
Mobile phones have changed people's lives. They give us an opportunity to stay in touch and to be reachable everywhere. It is very comfortable, especially for the busy modern lifestyle. So, the mobile phone has become a vital part of our daily lives and it is difficult to imagine how people lived without mobile phones in the past. In my opinion, the mobile phone is a very useful device. Thanks to it, I can access people I need to speak to and I can never miss anything important. If I need some help, I just call my friends and they rush to rescue me. If I have a meeting and I"m late, I can send an SMS with my excuses. It is very fast and convenient. What is more, with the help of my mobile phone I can access the Internet, send and receive photos and video, play games, listen to music and what not. However, mobile phones have some disadvantages. Firstly, they deprive people of privacy and it is almost impossible to relax with your mobile phone on. Secondly, many people are worried about the harmful influence of mobile phones on their health. Mobile phones use electromagnetic radiation. Scientists say that there is no significant health effect from mobile phone radiation. But still it is better not to use your mobile phone too often. To sum up, a mobile phone is very useful because it gives us the freedom of movement. It has made communication much easier. But we shouldn't forget that a face-to-face conversation is much better than just a telephone talk.
We are living in the modern world, full of computers, automatic devices, gadgets, cell phones and many other different interesting and useful things that technological progress has given us for usage. Although not even years have passed as we couldn’t even dream about the time when it would be enough just to tap on a screen and get connected with the other person on the different end of the world.
Science has given us the opportunity to fly into space and step on the moon, to start studying different parts of our galaxy and even farther. For example, what wonderful pictures of our galaxy and planets and stars surrounding Earth Hubble telescope has shown to us. Now we can develop further and maybe ever step on the other planets and even populate it.
Technology has considerably made our life easier due to different discoveries. For example, nowadays we can travel with extremely high speed in different directions: many countries have high-speed trains which help us to feel comfortable all the way.
Older people have different devices that have highly improved the level of their life, such as special cars for driving or hearing aid that helps them to no longer feel useless in the society.
On the other hand al this computerized environment may damage us too. Our children spend more and more time playing computer games, texting their friends instead of meeting them in the streets, living more and more in their own virtual world. Girls try to compete whose cell phone or tablet is better and more modern, or who has more friends on Facebook.
Anyway technology has its advantages and disadvantages, but we cannot escape from progress, the development is inevitable. But our responsibility is to preserve ourselves as a modern, just and peaceful civilization.
We live in the modern world, crowded with computers, automatic devices, mobile phones and other interesting and useful things that technological progress has given us for use. Although even twenty years ago we could not even dream of a time when it would be enough to touch the screen and connect with a person on the other side of the earth.
Science has given us the opportunity to fly into space and set foot on the moon, begin to study different parts of our galaxy and even beyond. For example, what beautiful photographs of our galaxy, its planets and stars surrounding the Earth the Hubble telescope gave us. And now we can develop further, and perhaps we will set foot on other planets and even settle on them.
Technology has made our lives much easier thanks to various discoveries. For example, today we can travel at incredibly high speeds to different destinations: many countries already have high-speed trains, allowing us to feel comfortable on the road.
Older people have many different devices that have greatly improved their standard of living, such as special cars and hearing aids, which make them feel useful to society.
On the other hand, this whole computerized environment can cause harm. Our children spend more and more time playing computer games, texting with friends, instead of meeting on the street. They live more and more in their virtual world. Girls began to compete to see who had a better and more modern mobile phone, or who had more friends on a social network.
Still, technology has its advantages and disadvantages, but we cannot run away from progress, development is inevitable. But our responsibility is to keep humanity modern, fair and peaceful.
Oral topic in English with translation: The achievement of science
(Do scientific developments create opportunities for satisfying the needs and desires of the people and for making their life easier? What achievements of science do you use in your household?)
As the years go forward our life becomes faster, a lot of new things appear, our mind develops and it cannot stop. It "s like a strong river which never ends to run and it is rapidly spreading all over the earth. Many centuries ago people even couldn't imagine that we will be able to exchange information using telephone, fax, Internet as long as they couldn "t think that there are a lot of planets except our earth and that people can fly them.
If we think how had everything developed, how many new things had appeared and how had the minds of people become so wide we even won"t be able to understand it because nowadays we cannot imagine our life without such inventions like lamps, ovens, central heating and others. During the centuries people have been invented the things to make our life easier. A great invention such as transport plays one of the most important roles in our life. We live in flats, can appear in different point of earth within a day, can say hello to people who live in another point of the world. All those things are a product of technical progress and it doesn't stop to grow and develop. Nowadays we live surrounded by machines and other inventions. And with new inventions we become happier because nearly everything is making by machine not by ourselves. And from day to day more and more new things appear. And we don't think about how the first inventions were created. The only thing we know that we will never return to the life which people lived a lot of centuries ago because there is no way back. Everything is handy. We use at home vacuum cleaners to clean the flat, ovens to cook, lifts to walk down in our houses, lamps to make our flats light.... There are a lot of such things like this, and we even don"t think about when and where and who invented it. And it"s so simple to us. And it"s so dear to us that we cannot even live without it. Our century is a century of developing informational connection. Faxes, TV, Internet, and Telephone became the most popular way of getting and sending information. One of the greatest inventions of the century, in my opinion is computer. It's the coup in the technology.
When Charles Babbage (1792-1871), a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University invented the first calculating machine in 1812 he could hardly have imagined the situation we find ourselves today. Computer becomes like a brain of human but the only thing it cannot do is to feel. The other things are easy to do. As everything computers also develop. The possibilities of it are so wide. It can do more than 500000 sums in a fraction of a second. Programming became one of the most useful and popular profession. Nowadays computers can pay wages, reserve seats on planes, control satellites, compose music. Also everyone knows the words Cd Rom, a means of storing information on a disk to be read by a computer, e-mail, which becomes one of the ways to exchange information, the Internet – a network that is a way to get information, to communicate with people, to find everything you need. More and more people become Internet users because we can do so many things them and also cannot say all of them. You can chat there, find job, pay bills, get music, buy something, find referats, and know the latest news exchange information with other people in each point of earth by e-mail and a lot of other functions. As for me it became a usual thing to be connected to the Internet. It attracts me by a wide variety of different kinds of information which is necessary to people.
Of coarse I use a lot of other things of technology at home.
And I think that the main point of such inventions as vacuum cleaners, which we use at home, radio, TV set, mixers, refrigerators, one of the most important thing in every flat all these were invented only after the invention of electricity. So I find the question about technical progress very wide and it "s impossible to say about all inventions. And in conclusion I want to say that the technical progress won"t stop and the machines will substitute everything except one the human.

(Do scientific events create opportunities to satisfy people's needs and desires and make their lives easier? What scientific advances do you use in your household?)
As the years go by, our life gets faster, many new things appear, our minds evolve and it can't stop. It is like a strong river that never ends to run, and it quickly spreads all over the earth. Many centuries ago people could not even imagine that we would be able to exchange information using telephone, fax, Internet, until they could think that there are many planets besides our earth and that people can fly them.
If we think about how everything has evolved, how many new things have appeared and how people's minds have become so wide, we will not even be able to understand it, because currently we cannot imagine our life without such inventions as lamps , ovens, central heating and others. Over the centuries, people have invented things to make our lives easier. A great invention such as transport plays one of the most important roles in our lives. We live in apartments, can appear in a different point of the world during the day, can say hello to people who live in another point of the world. All those things are a product of technological advancement and it doesn't stop to grow and develop. Nowadays we live surrounded by machines and other inventions. And with new inventions we become happier, because almost everything is not done by a machine. And newer things will appear any day now. And we don't think about how the first inventions were created. The only thing we know is that we will never return to the life that people lived from many centuries ago, because there is no way back. Everything is convenient. We use vacuum cleaners at home to clean the apartment, ovens to cook, lifts to descend in our buildings, lamps to make our apartments light. There are many such things to
We live in the era of high technologies, and we use modern inventions in our everyday life because they have brought us much comfort. New technologies have spread on every field over the past 15 years. Moreover, they are rapidly changing. For example, video-recorders, DVD-players or compact disks have already become obsolete and have been replaced by more up-to-date devices. Today we can hardly imagine our life without such modern mobile devices as cell phones or laptops. Our offices are fully equipped with computers, printers, scanners, air-conditioners, interactive whiteboards and wi-fi modems. Household appliances (vacuum-cleaners, coffee-machines, dish-washers, food processors and others) help us to save our time and energy.
However, we should realize that digital and electronic inventions have both negative and positive impact on our daily life.
I am absolutely positive that new technologies or gadgets are making things faster, easier, more comfortable and interesting. For instance, if you install a GPS (Global Positioning System) in your car you’ll never get lost again. And could we imagine just 15 years ago all the things we can do on the wireless Internet nowadays: connecting with friends from all over the world, online shopping and banking, distance online learning, finding virtual relationships and even working from home? Isn’t that awesome?! Our parents used to go to post-offices to send letters or pay bills, they went to libraries to find a good book and they used telephone-booths for phone-calls.
On the other hand, I know some people who are strongly against some modern inventions because they really miss those days when they talked to each other face to face in reality, and not virtually. I partially agree with that as I really believe that people are becoming anti-social and too dependent on their gadgets. Some of my friends also spend half of the time occupying their shiny gadgets (smart-phones or i-pads) even when we go out together. Besides, people who use various social networks a lot (such as Facebook or Instagram) should worry more about their privacy.
Summing up, I could say that there are serious arguments both for and against the use of new technologies but anyway it’s really difficult to imagine our life without them today.
New technologies in our lives
We live in an era of high technology and use modern inventions in our daily lives as they have brought us a lot of comfort. New technologies have proliferated in every field over the past 15 years. Moreover, they are changing rapidly. For example, VCRs, DVD players or CDs have become obsolete and are being replaced by more modern devices. Today we can hardly imagine our life without such modern mobile devices as cell phones or laptops. Our offices are fully equipped with computers, printers, scanners, air conditioners, interactive whiteboards and wi-fi modems. Household appliances (vacuum cleaners, coffee machines, dishwashers, food processors and others) help us save time and energy.
However, we need to understand that digital and electronic inventions have both negative and positive impacts on our daily lives.
I completely agree that new technologies or gadgets make many things faster, easier, more convenient and more interesting. For example, if you install a GPS (Global Navigation System) in your car, you will never get lost again. Could we imagine just 15 years ago all the things we can do today via wireless Internet: connecting with friends around the world, online shopping and banking, online distance learning, searching for virtual acquaintances and even working from home? Is not that great?! Our parents used to go to the post office to post letters or pay bills, they went to libraries to find a good book and they used telephone booths to make calls.
On the other hand, I know people who are completely against some modern inventions because they really miss the days when they communicated with each other, face to face, in reality, and not virtually. I partly agree with this because I think people are becoming anti-social and too dependent on their gadgets. Some of my friends also devote half of their time to their shiny gadgets (smartphones or iPads), even when we go out together. In addition, people who use social networks a lot (such as Facebook or Instagram) need to be concerned about protecting their personal information.
