Summary

The headline of the article I have read is "Skype: is more important than it looks". The author of the article is Jennifer O'Hagan. The article is published in The British Council Magazine on the 3rd of October 2012.

The article is devoted to the meaning of Skype nowadays. The purpose of the article is to show the advantages of using Skype. The author starts with telling about her own life experience. Once her friend from the other country really needed to talk to her, so she spent a lot of money on the payphone. The author points out that with Skype it would be much more cheaply. Further the author says that Skype doesn`t affect on people. Using Skype doesn`t become an addiction. The article goes on to say that Skype helps people to stay in touch even when they live far away. The author`s friend still could see her boyfriend while living abroad using Skype. 

The author comes to the conclusion that Skype is a simple thing that helps people to get in touch despite of a distance. 

I think that Skype is a very useful thing. I use it quite often to talk to my relatives from Russia or just to speak with my friends.
