watching television; but since its appearance, television has brought to man many advantages as well as disadvantages iC First, television plays an important role in our daily activities: it keeps us informed of all current affairs in the world Events through television are more vivid than those through books and magazines on Second, television helps us enrich our spiritual lives Our knowledge is broadened in many ways Through language teaching programs, we can learn the language we like such as: English, French, German, Chinese, Japanese and so on We can become skilful and clever at doing jobs, making cakes or arranging flowers through practical courses taught on television gC Finally, television is a source of recreation Humorous stories and funny films bring us minutes of relaxation after a hard day’s work For me, sitting comfortably in an arm-chair to watch an international football match on television is more interesting than having to queue for tickets at a crowded stadium hu Apart from its advantages, however, television also brings lots of disadvantages to viewers too c.T First, television viewers gradually become passive in their action Television may be a splendid media of communication, but it prevents us from communicating with each other or with the outer world The world seen through television is only the restricted one: It separates us from the real world k Second, television, with its fascinating power, makes people of all ages sink into oblivion: whole generations are growing up addicted to the telly Pupils and students are so absorbed in television that they neglect their school activities Food is left uneaten, homework undone and lessons unprepared Housewives are so keen on watching television that they neglect their duties toward their husbands and their children Instead of watching television, we may use the time for a real family hour Without the distraction of television, we may sit around together after dinner and actually talk to one another to know and like each other better Th On Finally, the evil influence of television on the young generation is inevitable; it encourages them to commit crimes Spectacles of sadism and
