Mass Media
When you want to listen to your favorite song, watch your favorite show,
or see the latest current events, what do you do? You more than likely turn on your
television, radio, or computer. What we use to stay informed 1 _d_.
Mass media means technology that is intended to reach a mass audience.
2
It _f_ used to reach the general public. The most common platforms for mass
media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and the Internet. People rely (12)
on mass media to obtain any kind of information.
3
Mass media _h_. Have you ever wondered how people kept up-to-date in the past? Well,
before there was the Internet, television, or the radio, there was 4 _a_. It was the original platform for
mass media. For a long period of time, the general public trusted writers and journalists from the local
newspapers to provide them with the latest news in current events.
Centuries later, in the 1890s, the radio would soon replace the newspaper as the most
trustworthy source for mass media. Families would gather around it to listen to their favorite radio
station programs and to hear the latest news regarding politics, social issues, and entertainment.
Several years later came the invention of television. This device would soon take the place of
the radio as the most effective platform to reach the general public. People could be informed through
the news as well as entertained by watching different kinds of programs such as soap operas, sitcoms,
talk shows and TV series. Today, 5 _e_ is the most relevant form of mass media and has become a
major tool for different ways to access news outlets. Since the evolution of the Internet, the general
public is now able to access those same news outlets in an instant with just a click of a mouse, instead
of having to wait for scheduled programs.
B. Choose one option to complete the text.
a. the newspaper e. the Internet
b. is the news f. is the primary means of communication
c. is not the same around the world g. for a long time
d. is considered mass media h. has changed over time
C. Read the text again and answer the following questions.

1. What is mass media? It means technology that is intended to reach a mass audience.
2. What does mass media provide? All kinds of information.
3. What are the most common platforms? Newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and the
internet.
4. What is the most effective platform these days? The internet.
5. What do you think the future will bring for mass media? * Answers may vary.

D. What do you think about these statements? Work in groups of three and give your opinion.

Read the following story about a mother and her children.
Children and Smartphones
Because now the new school year has started, our day-to-day
lifestyle has just intensified in every possible area.
Since we all have many things to do throughout the week, one thing that
does help me breathe a lot easier is knowing we can stay connected and
(38)
communicate thanks to the modern-day tool of our cell phones. As my 8
kids all have cell phones, I do have peace of mind when they are out and about attending sporting
events, after-school commitments and their part time jobs. On the other hand, this same piece of
technology that allows us to stay in touch while we are apart also has a downside because they can be
distracting and at times addicting. And it’s not just kids, we parents can be just as distracted with our
smart phones as our kids.

D. Read the following text. Write T for True or F for False.

Natural Disasters
When something is natural, it comes from nature and it is not manmade. A disaster is
something that usually causes major problems. It would be a disaster if a bridge suddenly fell because
it was not built properly. Disasters are negative but can be manmade. However, when speaking
about natural disasters you can combine the two terms and define them as catastrophes that occur in
nature or by natural processes. They are not manmade. A natural disaster takes place in populated
areas of the world when lives may be lost, the property is severely damaged, and the economy is
negatively affected.
Natural disasters may include an asteroid collision with Earth, avalanche, landslide, blizzard,
thunderstorm, earthquake, flood, gamma-ray burst (from space), volcano, heat wave, hurricane, solar
flare, drought, tornado, tsunami, hail, and wildfire.
It is not a natural disaster if it occurs in an unpopulated area and there is no loss of life or
property damage. For example, if a tsunami took place on an uninhabited island, it would not be a
disaster. Disasters cause a loss. There are many things that can happen during a natural disaster.
Sometimes, more than one disaster occurs at the same time. Landslides may occur during severe
flooding and thunderstorms.
The most common types of natural disasters in the world are floods and storms.
All natural disasters cause damage and destruction, and often one or more people die due to
the effects of the natural disaster. Many of the disasters can be predicted ahead of time with some
warnings given for people to prepare and move to safety.
1. A natural disaster is not manmade. T

2. A tsunami taking place on a deserted island is a natural F
disaster.
3. Earthquakes, floods and drought are examples of natural T
disasters.
4. Landslides and storms are the most common natural disasters. F
5. All of the disasters can be predictable. F

Lesson 30
Activity 3.2.2 The Toughest Question
A. Read the text and write the correct heading for each paragraph.
1. Talking about responsibilities 2. Qualifications 3. Résumé 4. Work experience
a. ___Work experience___
It is by far the most important part of any job interview in an English-speaking country. It is true
that education is also important, however, most employers are more impressed by extensive work
experience than by university degrees. Employers want to know exactly what you did and how well
you accomplished your tasks. This is the part of the interview during which you can make the best
impression. It's important to give full, detailed answers. Be confident and emphasize your
accomplishments in past positions.
b. ___Qualifications___
These include any education from high school through university, as well as any special training you
may have had (such as computer courses). Make sure to mention your English studies. This is very
important as English is not your first language and the employer may be concerned about this fact.
Assure the interviewer that you are continuing to improve your English skills by any courses you
may be taking, or by saying that you study a certain number of hours a week to improve your skills.
c. ___Talking about responsibilities___

Most importantly, you will need to demonstrate your qualifications and skills which are directly
applicable to the job you are applying for.
If past job skills were not exactly the same as what you will need on the new job, make sure to detail
how they are similar to job skills you will need for the new position.
Taken from: https://www.thoughtco.com/interview-basics-1210228

B. Read the text again and answer the questions. Suggested answers.
1. Why is it important to talk about your previous job experience?

Because employers want to know exactly what you did and how well you accomplished your tasks.
2. How good is it to mention your English studies? Why?

It’s very good, because English is not your first language and the employer may be concerned about
this fact.
3. What is the attitude you should have during the interview?
You should be confident and emphasize your accomplishments in past positions.
4. How can you demonstrate you are the right candidate for the job?

she got the photo of her dead husband back. I felt warm all over, not for the reward, mind you, but that fact
