The Internet in my life. The advantages and disadvantages of Media Education.

In our life, the Internet brings a lot of benefit and a lot of harm. All children cannot imagine their life without the Internet, even though our parents and grandparents did not even know about the existence of the Internet. Before, when we didn’t use the Internet, we all went to play in the yard, took pictures, communicate with each other face to face , but now, we are all on the Internet all day, and communication is slowly disappearing. The Internet has both good and bad sides. The good thing is that the child can find useful information that will help him to develop further, and the bad thing is when the child accesses the Internet too much and damages his eyesight.


In our school, we cannot do a lesson without the Internet, because we use computers instead of books. Our school has media education, and it is very independent, so sometimes its bad cause half of the students use it to play games during classes. I think that the students in our school are being developed much faster than those who has no media education.

Self presentation

Today I will tell about myself…..

Hi, I’m Yana, I have decided to become a programmer, a website developer. For a Web programmer, you basically need logic, a lot of imagination and English. Logic is needed in order to calculate how to create a site, English is needed to write codes, and fantasy is needed to design a website. I think drawing helps out of my hobbies. After all, in order to create websites, to make a special design for them, you need imagination.

I think that I will like to read books about my profession. I am interested in my profession, and I think it will be interesting for me to read <how the Internet was created> or <how to create your own website>.

My parents influenced me the most. They want me to live a good life in the future, and basically my father wants me to become a programmer. In his opinion, the programmers made a lot of profit, and our country needs such jobs. I also think that I will like this job, and exactly my type of programmer, because for website design you need to have a lot of imagination.

At the moment, everyone wants to become a programmer because it is the most developed profession. I think that one of the biggest benefits of programming is that by making different websites, the country goes further in terms of development, and the bad side is that most programmers work on a computer all day and therefore harm their health.

Good work is what the heart thinks is right………

Educationis an important tool which is very useful in everybody’s life. Education is what differentiates us from other living beings on earth. It makes man the smartest creature on earth. It empowers humans and gets them ready to face challenges of life efficiently. With that being said, education still remains a luxury and not a necessity in our country. Educational awareness needs to be spread through the country to make education accessible. But, this remains incomplete without first analyzing the importance of education. Only when the people realize what significance it holds, can they consider it a necessity for a good life. In this essay on Education, we will see the importance of educationand how it is a doorway to success.

Importance of Education

Education is the most significant tool in eliminating povertyandunemployment. Moreover, it enhances the commercial scenario and benefits the country overall. So, the higher the level of education in a country, the better the chances of development are.

In addition, this education also benefits an individual in various ways. It helps a person take a better and informed decision with the use of their knowledge. This increases the success rate of a person in life.

Subsequently, education is also responsible for providing with an enhanced lifestyle. It gives you career opportunities that can increase your quality of life.Similarly, education also helps in making a person independent. When one is educated enough, they won’t have to depend on anyone else for their livelihood. They will be self-sufficient to earn for themselves and lead a good life.Above all, education also enhances the self-confidence of a person and makes them certain of things in life. When we talk from the countries viewpoint, even then education plays a significant role. Educated people vote for the better candidate of the country. This ensures the development and growth of a nation.

What will I change in my country if I have an opportunity 

Every country has advantages and disadvantages. We have a lot to change in our country, Armenia, and here is my opinion about it.
If I could change our country, I would change many things. For example, I would reduce the pollution of the country, I would change several laws, through which people would be kinder to nature. I would grow trees and flowers everywhere to make the air softer. I would also ban smoking and driving old cars, as these two are the main causes of pollution. We all have to fight for that and we will change our country for the better.

6. are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise, which they do

7. not intend to keep. This is the kind of lie politicians and some businessmen are

8. supposed to be good at; the kind of lie they can profit from in some way.

9. Some psychologists believe that certain gestures show that one is lying. For example,

10. they may make sudden, unconscious movements when they tell a lie. This

11. suggests that they are thinking: “I wish I were not here.”

12. They may also touch their lips or rub their noses. Perhaps these gestures are

13. caused by mental stress. However, we should remember that they can tragically

14. mislead us in other ways.

15. In Miami a man was recently found guilty of murdering his wife whom he

16. suspected of having a love affair with another man. When denying this, she had

17. rubbed her nose several times. He believed this was proof that she was lying. Her

18. doctor later said that he had seen her the day before she was killed. She had come

19. to him because she was suffering from a rare skin disease. This is just one small

20. example of how gestures can deceive people, often with a tragic end.
