So I’m supposed to talk about the positive and the negative effects of these things on our lives.

In the first picture I can see two people in a car.

Nowadays cars take a very important place in our lives.

If you have a car you can travel almost everywhere in your own way.

This means you can plan your travel individually, quickly and comfortable.

Some people couldn't understand how someone can do without a car.

But there are some negative effects of the total car spreading.

Cars pollute the air and make a lot noise. They are a real menace to pedestrians.

There are many people in my country who remain their car for a night in the yard instead of a special parking.

And what’s more, they have to park on lawns and sidewalks because Ekaterinburg have a lack of parking space.

That’s terrible!

So I'm trying to say that cars as any modern technology have both the positive and the negative effects on our lives.

I have no idea what is in the second picture. It seems to be an ATM.

I suppose that it is a question of modern banking technologies.

Bank cards and Internet banking are very useful and comfortable for me.

But there is high risk of a fraud or a hacker’s attack and you could lose your money from your bank card.

So that is the reverse of the medal.

What I mean is that modern banking technologies have both the positive and the negative effects on our lives.

But there are some negative effects of car abuse.

Cars pollute the air and make a lot of noise. They are a menace to pedestrians.

There are many people in my country who leave their cars parked for a night in the yard instead of a special parking.

And what’s more, they have to park on lawns and sidewalks because Ekaterinburg has a lack of parking space.

So I'm trying to say that cars as any modern technology produce both positive and negative effects on our lives.

It seems to be an ATM in the second picture.

I suppose that it is a question of modern banking technologies.

Bank cards and Internet banking are very useful and comfortable for me.

So that is the other side of the coinl.

What I mean is that modern banking technologies have both positive and negative effects on our lives.
