It's been nearly 35 years now since I left my parents' home at 19 and entered into a life without television. In all the time I have never had a tv in any place I've —1 called home.

I have read more than 2,000 books, seen more than 1,000 movies, spent 5,000 hours in conversation with some 10,000 people, spent thousands of hours in public service to my community, traveled to 18 countries and learned bits — and snatches of 15 languages.

I am less inclined to talk in sitcom cliches, less likely to mention brand names, and less likely to be afraid to go outside at night. I know far more about world events, speak better English, know more of my neighbors, have more — opinions about everything, and am more inclined to help a stranger in need.

You will probably laugh a little at that list, but there is a clear relationship between the amount of tv viewing one does and all of the qualities I've described. After all, being the audience for a tv is a passive act; scientists told the Los Angeles Times that on average, a child watching television slips into the passive brain state within 30 seconds of beginning to watch television. Most adults I know seem to start out that way.

For me, watching television is an exercise in observation; I am aware of camera angles, staae-settina. editing and message-shaping more than of what tv tries to sell me; indeed, it doesn't take much to become a sophisticated tv viewer — all you have to do is turn it off for a while to see how empty and manipulative it is when you turn it on again.

That unreality was never more painfully real than the time I watched Mike Wallace recap key moments of the '70s during a New Year's Eve broadcast. The most powerful of the images was of the terrorists at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. I re-experienced the horror of the murders of the Israeli athletes growing more deeply involved in the story with every passing second.

With no warning, a Miller Beer commercial suddenly blared onto the screen, and it was as though a fully-loaded garbage truck had plowed into my gut. I almost vomited with the shock _ and sense of violation.

Admittedly, I have spent a few great moments in front of the tube. Live [laiv] coverage of the Detroit riots in 1966, the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby in 1963, and the end of President Reagan's first State of the Union address might qualify, though.

Each of those events, I would note, was broadcast live, free of commercial interruption. But I suspect that television executives would decide whether to show Jack Ruby's act today. That's another problem with tv: It's carefully controlled and information is fed to Americans by just a few huge corporations, and thev seem unable to understand it.

April 23-29 is National TV-Turnoff Week, and I urge everyone who wants to see another world in this lifetime — namely, this L one — to join those of us who have learned how to live in it.

Russian executives know less English than their subordinates do, and this holds true for companies of almost all sizes and ownership types, according to a recent study.

When you need a foreign language, it's already too late to start learning it, said Luc Jones, a partner at Antal Recruiting in Russia. Starting to communicate in a foreign language requires a lot of time and energy. Usually, candidates don't have either of these and simply have to pass up a good job opportunity if it requires a foreign language, he said.

Jones said he constantly has to explain to job-seekers at all levels that if they knew English, they could land more prestigious work. Often, he gets the reply, "I haven't needed English yet. I'll learn it when I need to," he said.

"But this is the wrong approach," said Jones, a native of Britain who speaks fluent Russian.

Around the world in companies of all sizes, executives' knowledge of English is lower than the overall average, a study by the Economist Intelligence Unit for EF Education First found.

In the study, 572 executives were surveyed from 1,207 commercial and noncommercial organizations in 18 industries in 24 countries. The annual revenues of the companies ranged from $1 million to $10 billion.

Breaking that down further, 56 percent of respondents were in Europe, 30 percent in Asia, 12 percent in North and South America and 2 percent in the Far East.

The study found that executives speak English just as well as their employees only in companies with revenues of $100 million to $500 million. In other instances, directors usually lag behind their subordinates.

Executives in the smallest and largest companies tend to know English the worst. This is the case likely because small companies often work only in their national market, while large corporations have so many worldwide branches that employees can work their whole lives in their national subdivision and not need to communicate in a foreign language, the study authors wrote.

The study also attempted to assess the overall level of English knowledge in companies in each country.

It discovered an "incredibly large difference" between countries where knowledge of English is good and those were it is poor. Whereas in Europe's best English-speaking countries, such as Sweden and the Netherlands, corporate employees' knowledge of the language is, on average, about 65 to 70 percent, in Russia, Chile and Brazil, it doesn't reach 50 percent.

When key employees don't speak English, they provide a bad example to all personnel, and the corporate culture doesn't grow as it otherwise could, said Eduard Baldakov, general director of EF Corporate Language Learning Solutions.

"I often hear from clients, 'I don't want to guess, I don't want to plan.' But language is a long-term, deferred investment," said independent coach and career specialist Yekaterina Lopukhina. "Not everyone wants to look that far into the future."

Several Russian managers said they don't really need to know English.

"I know English pretty well, but I hardly use it at all in business. I don't need it," said Natalya Fedrushkova, development director and owner of the team-building company Smartberry.

Fedrushkova said Russian executives represent even foreign companies in negotiations.

"In our business, all projects are short-term," she said. "There's a month of preparation, then the event. Russian-speaking managers lead the projects. The foreign higher-ups don't work with us."

Studying a foreign language is a difficult and time-consuming process that may not pay off, said Boris Scherbakov, general director of Dell in Russia. Scherbakov knows English well, but he wasn't able to quickly learn German when it became necessary at work. After two months, he decided that it was taking too much time and energy and didn't make much sense, he said.

Alexander Bogza, deputy director of Yevrobeton, said he understood from the very beginning that he would need to know English. He faithfully studied English in school and in college, and to this day he continues to take English classes to perfect his knowledge. For the most important negotiations, he takes an interpreter along.

The world has become global, and for this reason, knowledge of English is necessary for any growing business, said Vladimir Melnikov, general director and owner of Gloria Jeans. The company now has offices in Shanghai, Sao Paulo and Boston, and all the firm's documents are drawn up in both English and Russian.

"We all speak English," Melnikov said. "We want to be educated people, and we know that English is important for business."

"Who speaks Spanish ? " the man asked 5) He said, "Do you know this boy ? " 6) He said, "Do you want to travel to Europe or to the USA?" 7) They said, "Heve you ever been to England before?" 8) She said, "Is the man your father or your husband? " 9) She said, "We are going out. Will you join us? " 10) She asked, "Can you help me translate the text ?"

this is my last year at school, and i am very busy, in fact. i am an early riser. on week-days the alarm-clock wakes me up and my working day begins. it is seven o'clock. in spring or early autumn i usually run to the window and open it wide to let the fresh air in. the sunshine and fresh air set me into cheerful working mood. sometimes i do my morning exercises, but sometimes i just take a walk and go to school on foot. in winter it's different, of course. i am not so quick to leave my bed. but all the same, it's time to get up and start getting ready for my working day.

i do my bed and go to the bathroom. i take a shower, brush my teeth. then i go to the kitchen and have breakfast. while i am having breakfast, i switch on the radio and listen to the news. breakfast, asdoctors say, must be the most substantial meal of the day. so, for breakfast i usually have eggs and sausage or cheese sandwich and a cup of tea or coffee. sometimes i like to have some porridge.

after breakfast i leave for school. it takes me fifteen minutes to get to school by bus, and a bit longer if i go on foot. on my way to school i often meet my classmates and we go together.

my classes begin at 8.30. six or seven lessons a day is my ordinary timetable. so i stay at school i till 2 or 2.30. we study many subjects: history, geography, mathematics, chemistry and physics. but my favourie subjects are the english and russian languages and natural sciences as maths and chemistry are most difficult for me. when classes are over i go home.

i walk home with my friends and we have a nice chat about school and a lot of fun. after midday meal and some short rest i do some cleaning or shopping just to help my mother and then i go to the reading-room to prepare my homework. i stay there for three or four hours. i am found of english and writing reports and compositions. i do well in these subjects and it gives me a lot of pleasure to get ready for there lessons.

there is practically no time left. but nonetheless i attend a swimming pool twice a week and, on saturdays, the english club. here i have additional practice in the english language. we sing songs, recite verses and poems, se video films or meet some foreign guests who speak english. sometimes we do some performances, too. i take part in drama performances and sing. after the concert we dance.

late in the evening, i say (goodnight) to my parents and go to bed. as a rule, it is about midnight. that is my usual week-day when i am, really, as busy as a bee.
