1.A mobiltelefon terjedsnek okai

Nowadays almost every people have one or more mobile phones. At first it was the rich peoples prerogative, but now
you dont need to have too much moneyn order to buy a mobile phone. It costs only a few thousand forints but if you
want you can buy one for about 50 000 Fts with a lot of extras. The other reason is that the upkeep of a mobile is more
and more cheaper as you can choose from different tariffs, so you can decide which is suitable for you the most.
Moreover mobiles have more and more functions so you can use it as an alarm clock, you can play on it, watch and
make videos, listen to music, use the wap, take photos, etc.
2.A nyelvtuds szerepe a kommunikciban
How important is it for you to speak languages?
Speaking a language is inevitable (szksgszer) in our modern world. Since Hungarian is not a widely spoken
language, you have to be familiar with at least one foreign language to be able to get along in life. In all walks of life
(letplya) speaking a language at a high conversational level is required. One cant go to a job interview without being
able to utter (kimond) a word in some foreign language. Moreover, you have to express yourself clearly to get accepted
and be given the job. Nowadays the most advisable language to study is English. It is considered an international
language in a lot of areas , especially when using a computer. Together with French it is the language of diplomacy. For
Hungarians it is also useful to have a good command (beszdkszsg) of German. Every summer we have thousands of
students coming from Austria and Germany.

Job problems

In spite of the fact that most of the students have already known their future plans I dont have any idea. In my opinion
everyone wants to be successful and have a good salary and its reflected in the most popular jobs in Hungary The list of
the jobs contains the lawyer, and different kinds of managers but you can also see as creative jobs as the designer or the
photographer. I also think that most of us want to work regularly hours not in shifts. Nowadays most young people want
to become economists, lawyers or deal with some field of computer science. Many of them think that it will be easy to
find well-paying jobs with these degrees.
My other problem is the system of looking for the jobs because its quite complicated.

Modern technology

Life in the 21st century is very much different than it was 100 years ago. Technology plays an important role in our lives.
Nearly everything that we do is connected to technology. Even children have mobile phones and use computers to write
their homework.
Mobile phones are getting more and more popular, because they have a lot of different functions and they can make life
easier. Mobile phones are much more useful than telephones, because if we have a mobile we can use it whenever we
are, not just at home. It is also important that we are always contactable if we have a mobile phone. For example if
someone of our family or friends needs our help, he or she can call or text us, and it doesnt even take a lot of time of
money. However it isnt always polite to use our phones, for example in the cinema or theatre or when we are talking to
someone.

The Environment
Factories, power stations and motor vehicles pump large quantities of CO2 and other waste gases into the air. This is a
major cause of the greenhouse effect. A lot of petrols contains lead, which is very poisinous and can couse brain damage
in children. Many people now prefer to use unleaded petrol.
Some poisonous gases dissolve in water in the atmosphere and then fall to the earth acid rain. Acid rain damages trees
and buildings and can kill fish in lakes and rivers. Rivers can also be polluted by industrial waste from facrories and
chemical fertilizers and pesticides used by farmers.

Global warming is caused by the greenhouse effect. Normally, heat from the sun warms the Earth and then C escapes
back into space. But CO2 and other gases in the atmosphere trap the suns heat, and this is slowly making the Earth
warmer. The glass of greenhouse conserves heat by the same principal, thats why this phenomenon is known as the
greenhouse effect. Its very important because without it, the temperature of our planet would be 40 degrees lowers and
the oceans would freeze. On the other hand, an increase in the greenhouse effect, which is caused by an increase in the
concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, may lead global warming, with disastrous consequences: sea
levels would rise as the world gets warmer beacuse the heat would melt ice and expand the water in oceans. Scientist
say the temperature of the earth could rise by 3 C over the next 50 years. This may cause drought is some parts of the
world, and floods in others, as ice at the North and South Poles begins to melt and sea levels rise.
