4. What are the hidden dangers?

5. What kind of new communication opportunities are provided by social networks?

6. What are the new prospects in education?

7. What is a fact about worrying time statistics?

A.The popularity of social networking sites such as Vkontakte, Facebook, MySpace, and
Classmates has risen more than four times from 2005 to 2009. Many users say these sites
are good for our society, but others are sure that there are more dangers in them than
benefits. Your attitude to such websites depends on your age, job, interests and way of life.

B. Social networks promote communication with friends and family, they give people
necessary and useful computer skills and teach them to express their ideas in a clear way.
Another thing is that the sites let people create new relationships and reconnect with old
friends. In every way, more communication, even online, makes connections stronger.

C. Social networking sites make people spend more time online and less time
communicating face-to-face. The sites have many time-wasting activities. You stay online
longer than you planned and do nothing serious or important. Experts say that teenagers
spend about nine hours every week on social networking sites.

D. Psychologists say that social networking sites can have serious disadvantages. It is hard
for children to have real conversations and make friends. They become selfish personalities
and lose interest in real life. Parents spend less time with their children and all members of
the family spend less time with each other because they are using the Internet instead of
communicating in person.

E. Internet users spend most of their time on social networks and blogs. Users in the USA
spend about five and a half hours every month on their favourite site. And the number is
growing. Russians spend 6.6 hours monthly on social networking sites. It is more than
people in any other country. For example, in Europe it is 3.7 hours a month.

F. New research shows that social networking sites can be used in schools. Teachers should
find ways to use them in class. It would help students to learn how to get information from
Internet resources and share it with classmates. Students would also be able to express
themselves creatively and present themselves better.

13. The Moneyless Man

For most of us it seems that money makes the world go round. However, not for Mark
Boyle who has turned his life into a radical experiment.

Mark Boyle was born in 1979 in Ireland and moved to Great Britain after getting a degree
in Business. He set up his own business in Bristol. For six years Mark Boyle managed two
organic food companies which made him a good profit.

However, in 2008, he decided to give up earning money. He vowed to live without cash,
credit cards, or any other form of finance.

Mark Boyle began to realise that many of the world’s problems are just symptoms of a
deeper problem. He thought that money gave people the illusion of independence.

Mark sold his house and started preparing himself for his new life. He posted an advert
on a website asking for a tent, a caravan (a vehicle for living or travelling) or any other type
of a house. Soon an old lady gave him a caravan for free. At least he then had a roof over
his head!

After that, with his pockets empty, Mark was ready to go. He didn't even carry keys as he
decided to trust the world a bit more and not lock his caravan. On November 28th
(International Buy Nothing Day 2008), he became the Moneyless Man for one whole year.

Everything was different from then on. Mark lived in his caravan on an organic farm
where he worked as a volunteer three days a week. In return he got a piece of land to live on
and grow his own vegetables. His food was cooked on a stove, and he washed in a shower
made from a plastic bag hanging from a tree, and warmed by the sun.

Even breakfast was different. With no morning coffee to brew, Mark had to find an
alternative drink to start the day with. So he drank herbal teas, sometimes with some fresh
lemon verbena that he could find near the caravan. «It's all very good for you: iron, calcium,
anti-oxidants,» Mark said.

Food was the first thing to consider. Mark discovered that there were four ways to find it:
looking for wild food, growing his own food, bartering (exchanging his grown food for
something else), and using loads of waste food from shops.

Public interest in his project was divided. While a huge number of people supported him,
there was criticism of him, particularly on Internet forums.

“People are either very positive about what I'm doing or very negative; I think it's about
70 percent/30 percent. It's funny, if you don't have a massive plasma TV these days, people
think you are an extremist,” Mark said.

People tend to ask Mark what he learnt from a year of a moneyless life. “What have I
learned? That friendship, not money, is real security,” he answers.

Mark's remarkable journey is described in his new book “The Moneyless Man”, which
shows in a detailed way the challenges he faced on the road to his new world.

Most adults miss their childhood. “Your school years are the 20.
