Reading: Choose the word or phrase among A, B, C or D that best answers the questions
about passage:
TELEVISION
Here in Egypt, television has a powerful hold over people’s minds. It is an instrument of
leisure, of information and- to a very limited extent- of culture. It does not stop people reading
newspapers or books, going to the cinema or theatre or watching videos. But these activities are
occasional, irregular and ultimately of secondary importance. Television is one of the main
subjects of conversation, at school, in offices, at home and in the street, as well as being written
about in all the newspapers.
It might be said that main objective of television is to persuade the maximum number of
people to watch it for the maximum amount of time. And how effectively the sitcoms and soap
operas do that! I do not think that I have ever seen any other country so totally dominated by
these shows. Some of them are Egyptian productions but the majority, is a talking point for
everyone, young and old alike.
