The tourism industry in Russia is undergoing considerable changes recently, and one of the most important factors responsible for them is the Internet. Being an inevitable part of our everyday life, the Internet does both good and harm to the tourism development.

Let’s start with the positive side. Now that the information is easily available, many foreigners are no longer prisoners of stereotypes like bears, awful frosts and all Russians being blond. Consequently, people from other countries get more interested in our culture and tend to travel here to study it deeply. This is when the Internet helps again: giving the traveller an opportunity to book tickets and hotel rooms conveniently, providing them with instant access to essential information like departure and landing time, opening hours, hotels and restaurants reviews, it makes travelling easier and more convenient. It is reliable, too. The information stored there doesn’t disappear like a piece of paper can, and nowadays you can have access to the world wide web almost anywhere.

However, not everything is so good. The negative changes that the Internet has brought are the continuation of its positive ones. Having information at hand, tourists prefer visiting the places which have most favourable reviews, leaving the rest behind. Thus, the Internet adds to the uneven coverage of places of interest. Besides, it can’t be called useful to those who don’t build their business basing themselves on modern technology. It leads to traditional travelling businesses dying out.

Whatever the impact tourism might have, it definitely is going to continue developing and occupying more and more space in every sphere, tourism being no exception.

Libraries aren't very popular with modern teens. Write a short article into your local newspaper expressing your opinion.

Remember to mention:

  • why and where libraries appeared;
  • if you and your friends go to the school library or any;
  • what modern libraries offer to their visitors;
  • what the future of libraries is;
  • conclude your article with an appeal to your readers.

Write no more than 120–150words.

Образец ответа

Temples of wisdom

In the past they used to be temples of wisdom but now are almost completely forgotten by the Internet addicts of the 21st century. They have a lot to offer and want to serve people again. And they are LIBRARIES.

The first libraries appeared more than 4000 years ago to store important historical documents and pass knowledge from generation to generation. A lot of things have changed since then, clay tablets and papyrus scrolls were replaced by printed books, but they are still working. Everywhere. Nowadays libraries use modern technologies and provide their visitors with a variety of books on all topics. But their future is unclear. It depends on us, the readers.

My friends and I go to the library quite often. It is a great way to get books for free. And I think you should too. You don’t need to be a bookworm to go to that sacred building. Just give it a shot and I promise you’ll like it!
