TV OR NOT TV
Television has become an everyday part of our lives. It’s omnipresent, always on… but is this or a good thing or a bad one? Don’t we spend too much of our precious time in front of the box? Haven’t we become lazier because of it? Is TV dangerous? Here’s what different people say about television. Who do you agree with? 1. Some people say that television is dangerous. I don’t think so. After all, it keeps you informed about what’s happening in the world. You can also see films and plays, and be entertained … or you can watch documentaries and learn something new. 2. In spite of all its defects, television can teach us a lot of things. The trick is to learn to control it and use it intelligently. The ideal is to turn on the TV only when there is a programmed that is really amusing and interesting. 3. A lot of rubbish has been written about television. I think it’s a wonderful invention. It’s a cheap form of entertainment, which gives pleasure to millions of people,nespecially those who live alone. It’s also a wonderful way of escaping from our dull reality. 4. TV’s just part of life really. It involves us in strong emotions: love, hate, passion. Even the silliestof “soaps” help me to solve my own problems by showing me what might happen if I do certain things. Sometimes they show me what not to do.
1. Television is a terrible waste of time. I know a lot of people who just sit down in front of the “box” and watch whatever’s on. They spend hours watching silly Mexican soap operas and second-rate American films when perhaps they ought to be doing something. 2. In my opinion, television makes us lazier. We stay at home instead of doing out. We read less. We think less. We even talk less. It cuts us off from reality. But isn’t real life better than this passive enjoyment? 3. There’s too much blood and violence on TV. We begin to believe that the world is an unfriendly place, filled with cruel people and risky circumstances. The violent, crime-filled world shown on TV may turn people into criminals. 4. Television is like a drug: we get addicted to certain TV series and simply can’t switch it off. Most programmers are filled with silly commercials. What I hate most about TV is that it often uses strong language. It has a terrible influence on children and young people.
