Решение #1

If I had to choose only one device from mobile phone, computer or fridge for using I would choose a computer. I can explain why.
Firstly, I can use it for calling people through the Internet as well as mobile phone. Secondly, I can find any information I need and use computer for spending leisure time. For example, I can read a book, watch a film, play games or listen to music. Thirdly, I can buy all necessary things in online shops. It is really comfortable, because there is a huge assortment of things and it is easy to find what you need in these shops. Moreover, I can order different fresh food which will be delivered to my house for a short time.
To sum up, I would choose a computer as the most necessary device. Of course, it has one meaningful disadvantage. I will not be able to take computer everywhere because of its size. However, I think it is not so important, because only computer let me do much work using different programs. Mobile phone and fridge don't have such possibilities.
Перевод:
Если бы я должен был выбрать только одно устройство из мобильного телефона, компьютера или холодильника для использования, я бы выбрал компьютер. Я могу пояснить почему.
Во-первых, я могу использовать его для звонок людям через интернет так же, как и мобильный телефон. Во-вторых, я могу найти любую информацию, которая мне нужна и использовать компьютер для проведения досуга. Например, я могу прочитать книгу, посмотреть фильм, поиграть в игры или послушать музыку. В-третьих, я могу купить все необходимые вещи в онлайн магазинах. Это действительно удобно, потому что там большой ассортимент вещей и легко найти что тебе нужно в таких магазинах. Кроме того, я могу заказать различную свежую еду, которая будет доставлена в мой дом за короткое время.
Таким образом, я бы выбрал компьютер как самое необходимое устройство. Конечно, он имеет один значимый недостаток. Я не смогу взять его куда угодно из за его размера. Однако, я думаю это не очень важно, так как только компьютер позволяет мне сделать много работы, используя разные программы. Мобильный телефон и холодильник не имеют таких возможностей.

Nowadays technical devices such as computers, phones, laptops, i-Pods, digital tape recorders and many other things are becoming a vital part of our life. Everyone needs these inventions because they have revolutionized the world and significantly changed our life to the better. As for me, if I had to choose between a computer, a mobile phone and a refrigerator, I would definitely choose the second option. The point is that I can do without a fridge as I live next to the large supermarket. So I can buy fresh food whenever I want. Also I can imagine living without a computer. This device is extremely expensive and unhandy. I suppose the most useful modern device is a mobile phone. To begin with, it gives me an opportunity to be reachable at any time and in any place. That's why I always keep in touch with my relatives and friends. In addition, it's a good source of entertainment.) I can play games, watch videos, listen to music, take photos. What is more, my phone helps me study. With its help I can access the Internet where I find much informative facts, reports, useful hints that is necessary for broadening my mind and doing my homework. Finally, mobile phones save our time and money. Everybody can afford this device because there are a lot of cheap and simple in using cell-phones in the shops. Last but not least, a mobile phone is undoubtedly important when we are running late or in emergency. This tool is irreplaceable to me.

В наше время технические устройства, такие как компьютеры, телефоны, ноутбуки, айподы, цифровые магнитофоны и много других вещей становятся насущной частью нашей жизни. Всем нужны эти изобретения, потому что они коренным образом изменили мир и значительно изменили нашу жизнь к лучшему. Что касается меня, если бы я должна была выбрать между компьютером, мобильным телефоном и холодильником, я определенно выбрала бы второй вариант. Дело в том, что я могу обойтись без холодильника, поскольку я живу рядом с крупным супермаркетом. Таким образом, я могу купить свежие продукты каждый раз, когда я хочу. Также я могу представить себе жизнь без компьютера. Это устройство чрезвычайно дорогое и неудобное. Я предполагаю, что самое полезное современное устройство - мобильный телефон. Во-первых, он дает мне возможность быть доступной в любое время и в любом месте. Поэтому я всегда поддерживаю контакт со своими родственниками и друзьями. Кроме того, это) хороший источник развлечения. Я могу играть в игры, смотреть видеофильмы, слушать музыку, делать фотографии. К тому же, мой телефон помогает мне учиться. С его помощью я могу получить доступ к Интернету, где я нахожу много информативных фактов, рефератов, полезных советов, что необходимо для расширения моего кругозора и выполнения домашней работы. В конце концов, мобильные телефоны экономят наше время и деньги. Все могут предоставить себе это устройство, потому что есть много дешевых и простых в использовании сотовых телефонов в магазинах. Наконец, что не менее важно, мобильный телефон, несомненно, важен, когда мы опаздываем или находимся в чрезвычайной ситуации. Этот прибор незаменим для меня.

I think that nowadays technology has а very strong impact on our society. We use everyday new technologies. It’s very important to understand all the importance of our technologies. For example, with the help of computer we all can communicate with each other, find any information in the Internet and so on. With the help of mobile phones we can call each other, even being not at home! Also today’s technologies are very advanced, so now mobile phone is not only used for calling, but also as a gadget for Internet and other computer operations. With the help of fridge we can save our products. It doesn’t give them become rot. The temperature in the fridge is very low, that’s why it saves all the useful properties of products.
I think I'll choose the fridge, if I could use only one thing. It is more necessary I guess, than other devices.

Например, с помощью компьютера мы можем общаться друг с другом, находить любую информацию в Интернете и т.д. C помощью телефонов мы можем звонить друг другу, даже не находясь дома! Также сегодняшние технологии очень продвинутые, поэтому теперь даже мобильный телефон используется не только для звонков, но также как гаджет для выхода в Интернет и других компьютерных операций. C помощью холодильника мы можем сохранить наши продукты. Он не дает им сгнить. Температура в холодильнике очень низкая, вот почему он сохраняет полезные свойства продуктов.
Я думаю, что я бы выбрал холодильник, если я мог бы использовать только одну вещь. Он больше необходим, я так думаю, чем другие устройства.

Nowadays there are so many different appliances. Each device is important. New technologies are developing very quickly. Each month, new models of phones, computers, TV sets, refrigerators etc are available. People are not live without these devices. Many people are attached to devices.
A computer, a mobile phone or a fridge? I do not know what to choose. I think I would choose the computer, because it functioned much. With a computer you can know the world news, communicate with friends and family, use different programs to work, learn languages and various sciences, play games, read books online and make purchases on the internet. Modern technologies are not stand still. Computers are used in areas such as medicine, physics, aerospace, education and many others.
Everyday computers help us in the many areas and I believe that will be much more places in our life for computers in the future. Very interesting what computers will be in the future.

Nowadays, modern people can not imagine my life without technology. Each person needs in many devices. It is hard to imagine that I am have not a some device. So, if I had to use only one device, then I would choose the computer. Because my computer now for me is most needed. With it, I quickly find necessary information, doing some homework and just relax.
In addition, with the help of modern computer programs, we can call your friends and family. So, the computer can replace the phone. Although it should be noted that the phone is more portable than a computer and phone can take in any place.
Of course, with a refrigerator is more complicated. Unfortunately the computer does not have a program for freezing food) ) But when you choose between a refrigerator and a computer, I choose the computer. Because I can eat, for example, in a cafe or order a meal at home.
In conclusion, I want to say that I would never want to make a choice between these devices. Because each of these is the achievement of scientists, which should make people's lives better and more comfortable.

Решение #6

When I had to think what subject to choose, frankly speaking I got confused. It is so because in the modern world such like subjects play an imminent role people's lives.
Nowadays a computer is in every family. It helps to communicate with people by Skype, get necessary information, be informed, watch favourite movies and download music. Though in the last decade there appeared to be new high technology mobile phones that have the same options. So the computers have become replacable in some ways.
A fridge is necessary to keep food fresh in. All the people know how important it is now to stay healthy and not to eat fast -food. Though some of them neglect that and get problems with their health.
It I some day had to choose one of these subjects I'd use a mobile phone to get with my beloved parents or friends who have a fridge and a computer.

In our century of great technological progress, we begin being depent from different new things and gadjets. And I think, not every person can answer, which of things, used in daily life are more important. As for me, if I could use only fridge, mobile phone, or computer I think, I'd chose the third variant
Why? Because I know other ways of keeping food, and I can communicate, using my stationary telephone, or the Internet. And with the help of computer I can learn about what's hapening in the world without the official gossip from television, I can keep useful materials on the hard disk, I can write a book, if I want at last! That is the reason of such choise.I could use only computer to communicate and get information, instead of such a great amount of things. I can visit my friends and talk to them myself at last. I can buy food, which doesn't need to be kept in the refrigerator but I need to get information somehow, without brainwashing from TV. That are the main arguments for my opinion.

Решение #8

That’s a really hard question for consideration, and it’s also a strange one because I wouldn’t put in one row electronic gadgets such as computer and mobile phone that meant for some projection and designing problems solving and a fridge which was created for domestic demands, particularly, for foodstuff conserving.
If it is talked about being lost and left on an uninhabited island I would pick a fridge. But I need it just if it was an exotic island with hot climate. Otherwise, I mean, at permanent cold weather, I don’t need a fridge for food storage.
If the use of one of those doesn’t mean leaving civilized comfortable life, possibly I would choose a fridge anyway, because I need to control the food not to go off. But that choice only relates to my today’s situation.
If I were a businessman, a politician, a manager of some company, or even a student, I wouldn’t be able to live without a cellphone and a computer. Those are an integral part of busy people’s life. In case they don’t have a refrigerator such people can store food at another cold place or even eat always out. That’s why, possibly, the most important thing in their life must be a mobile phone. Imagine one of the days of those. If they are hungry they can commonly have lunch at cafe. And now think about what they would do if they lost their cellular phone. That means complete chaos and horror.
I should mention again that this topic is kind of strange. I would probably get confused if I had a problem like this.
Everyone has its own opinion. Somebody may not agree with me, but this is my view.

Nowadays people cannot imagine their life without modern technologies. Every day we use computers, cell phones, washing machines, fridges, TV-sets, MP3-players, electronic books, etc.
Let’s suppose that you have to choose only one of them and forget about other things. As to me, I am accustomed to using all of them regularly, however, I would pick up a computer. At first, it is better than a mobile phone or a TV-set, because it combines the function of both. As for the fridge, it does not give me anything besides food, which I can buy in shops. That is why I would never choose it. My relaxation of and education are more important than food.
However, in my opinion, some people would not choose a computer, as they think it harms their health, makes them addicted and takes much time. Nevertheless, if you manage your time well, it will be only useful.
In conclusion, I would like to say, that I could never make up my mind in this situation, because all these devices are an important part in our life. However, some of them are vital for us, and without some of them we can easily live.

Tecnologies develop very quickly and nowadays we can not imagine our life without modern appliances. How did our parents live without computers, mobile phones, TV...? Our parents did not use the Internet when they did their homework!

Nowadays there are a lot of technologies which have been invented to improve our life. Technologies have been developing rather intensive lately. Just think, our parents were not able to communicate to each other by using, for example, mobile phones. They also couldn’t use the Internet because they didn’t have computers. However our generation does have a lot of appliances such as a fridge, a mobile phone or a computer.
It goes without saying, fridges are very comfortable for us, because they can keep our products for a long of time. As a result we don’t waste our money and time. Mobile phones make us more accessible, they help us to link with people who are far away from our place. As for computers, they give us a lot of necessary information that can be very important especially for pupils and students. Using a computer we can communicate with people from different cities or even countries. There are very many social networks and other useful sites where we can not only talk to our friends but also develop our knowledge and skills.
So if somebody asks me what I will choose I will answer: «a computer». Exactly a computer is the most useful. By the way, I’m really used to utilizing it every day, so I cannot imagine my life without my computer.

Решение #13

Unfortunately, I can not choose one of these things. A computer, a mobile phone and a fridge are very important because each of them performs necessary functions. A fridge is necessary for satisfaction of physiological requirements, but a computer and a mobile phone are necessary for satisfaction of spiritual requirements.
For example, if I got in an accident, I would have to use my mobile phone. In this case, I need not a computer or a fridge.
However, if I need get some necessary information, I use a computer or a phone, for there is Internet. Also can be such case, as I want to eat and only a fridge can helped me because only in a fridge can store food, not a computer and not a mobile phone.
Finally, I mean to say that all of those things are necessary for us. It all depends on the situation.

When a first thought about what appliance of these to choose I got a shock. Indeed, nowadays we can’t imagine our lives without using computers, mobile phones and fridges. As for me, I really can’t do without them!
Talking about a computer, almost every family own one now. No doubt, computers are very helpful, you can find any information you want using the Internet. But it also has disadvantages. You know, on-line games are very popular with teenagers nowadays and they play them so much that they get a dependence on them. To my mind it’s disgusting when people are fond of only virtual world but not of real one. So if I must renounce one of three things (a computer, a mobile phone or a fridge) I will renounce a computer.
Both refrigerator and mobile phone are very useful. People got the former rather long ago and since that time we can’t keep our food without it. But there are such people, who eat only fast food or a meal from restaurants. For example, a lot of students don’t prepare their meals; they buy half-finished products and just boil or fry them. However everybody knows that it’s very harmful for people heal.
It’s not a secret, now almost everybody has a phone. Though it has both advantages and disadvantages. Using you phone you can reach every person you want wherever he or she is. Besides, you can not only call but you can also text, that’s very convenient. But a phone has it’s waves those affect human body. Therefore a role of mobile phone in a person’s life may be different.
Summing up I don’t know what I would choose, probable I will select my mobile phone, but I’m not sure it would be right choice. How splendid that I don’t really need to choose!

In the modern world the technology very quickly develops. We can observe huge set of inventions. The majority of them are intended for life simplification. Many of inventions really help people with a life, in work, in dialogue, in movement and many other things. I would choose a mobile phone from all this set.

The mobile phone can help if the urgent call is necessary, and the person is not at home. As the mobile phone serves as a player. On it it is possible to listen to music and as to look and remove various videos. It is possible to do photos. Though they not high quality, but all the same for memory remain. In a mobile phone it is possible to play games, to communicate with friends in icq. Phone is convenient as in it there is a calendar, time, an alarm clock. All it is located in the small stylish invention of mankind. In the conclusion I want to tell that without this invention hard. Many people have very much got used to a mobile phone, including me.

Nowadays we can see so many different technologies everywhere. Today technology develops faster and faster. Our parents had not opportunity to use personal computer but now many of them have pocket computers.
But which invention is the most necessary for modern man? Let`s discuss three of them. A fridge is a very useful invention of human. We can keep our food in good state so long now! I think, that no one can live without fridge in everyday life, but we have some dry products which keep their freshness so long. So, fridge isn`t the most necessary invention. The next is a mobile phone. Everyone has it and uses everyday. It is so comfortable to carry it in your pocket and so pleasure to have an opportunity to connect with your relatives or friends in any moment. But I think that a computer is the most necessary invention because we can call anybody using computer programs as Skype, for example. We can take it with us everywhere too.
