      5. Reading

---- I could not live without my computer at home.

It is strange to think that one of the most powerful and richest businesses in the world is a bit more than 30 years old. I mean а computer business. Computers are widely used in offices, banks, educational institutions and in households. Here you can see some stages of the development of the INTERNET. More than 1 billion people use it nowadays. I've also got a computer. I use it all the time. It is like a typewriter and address book for me and it is also used for checking my spelling. Besides I can surf the Internet and discover everything about anything, it is a brilliant source of information. I have designed my own website and I am getting loads of information for school. Besides some websites are packed with quizzes, games and competitions, it is all you need for hours of fun on your computer. You can play and learn on it. It is absolutely essential. I don't know how I ever managed without it.

 --- I could not possibly live without my car.A car is one of the most useful inventions in our life. The world's first petrol-driven car was produced by Karl Benz in Germany in 1885. The first Russian automobile was designed by P.A. Frez and E.A.Yakovlev. It had been built by May 1896. An American technological genius Henry Ford built an automobile which had a speed of 25 miles per hour in             1896.Convenience seems to be the most common and the most logical answer: cars take you where you want to go and when you want to go there. You can travel freely and comfortably wherever you want. Besides it allows you to live where you want as you can get to the place you need by car. Besides a car is a way of self-expression. I think a car is a necessity rather than a luxury.

 I could not imagine my life without my phone.

I think it is the most useful invention that I can imagine. We always need to keep in touch with people, offices and different institutions. The first telephone was invented by an American engineer Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. Modern telephones can be divided into stationary, cordless and mobile. At home I've got a cordless telephone. I think it saves time when you have a receiver just at hand. I've also got a mobile telephone too. I couldn't possible live without my phone. I can take it anywhere I like. I can get in touch with anybody from any place. I can call the police and the ambulance.
