The whole text is cut into paragraphs. The class is divided into groups according to the number of paragraphs. Each group works with its abstract and tries to arrange the paragraphs so that they make a complete text.

Mass media in Ukraine

The role of mass media in out everyday life is enormous. Where do we get most of the news? From TV or radio news programmes, or from newspapers. What forms public opinion? Mass media. So they bear great responsibility and should always give truthful and impartial information to their readers and viewers.

Ukrainian mass media, which include press, radio and television, are independent, and the state guarantees their economic independence.

There are more than 4,000 periodicals in Ukraine now, and new radio and TV channels, newspapers and magazines appear practically every year.

In Ukraine there are several information agencies that supply the population of the country with the latest news. Those are "Ukrinform”

— Ukrainian National Information Agency, the UNIAN — the Ukrainian Independent News Agency, "Interfax–Ukraine” and some others. These agencies have reporters in any administrative region of our country and in all major foreign countries. They collect most interesting and important information for readers and viewers.

There are newspapers and magazines for all ages and professions, tastes, interests and hobbies. There readers can also find information about home affairs, culture and sports. Those publications deal with the burning problems of our present life and history, and at the same time there we can find amazing stories, crosswords and puzzles that will entertain you in your spare time. Sports fans, farmers, doctors and businessmen, scientists and gardeners — all have their special newspapers or magazines.

Some magazines are published every month, and they are called monthlies, some are published every 3 months, those are called quarterlies.

Newspapers are usually published every day or every week, so they are called dailies or weeklies. Some people buy newspapers and magazines every day, others prefer to subscribe to them, and in this case the periodicals are delivered to their homes.

Television and radio networks in Ukraine are divided into government- run and private TV and radio companies. The State TV and Radio company operates two channels and includes the services that specialize in political analysis, socio-political programmes, current information, youth and sports programmes. Private channels tend to broadcast music and news programmes, a lot of advertising and talk shows.

After-reading

After the text has been reconstructed, the students look at their answers to the question "What do you know about mass media in Ukraine?” and compare the information from the text and their answers. Most probably, there will be a few differencies and additions, which should be paid special attention to.

3. Speaking
