Advantages and disadvantages of television

The advantages and disadvantages of television

Nowadays many people all over the world spent most of their free time watching television; but since its
appearance, television has brought to man many advantages as well as disadvantages.

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.

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.

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.

Apart from its advantages, however, television also brings lots of disadvantages to viewers too.

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 http://www.vnecon.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3644&d=1264220583
restricted one: It separates
us from the real world.

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.

Finally, the evil influence of television on the young generation is inevitable; it encourages them to
commit crimes. Spectacles of sadism and violence on television lead them to robbery, theft, rape and
murder.

In a nutshell, television is useful to us when we know how to use it: Be careful not to overindulge
ourselves in it and use it in a discerning manner.

How you spent your last holiday.
During my last school holidays, I spent a few days at my cousin’s house at Morib, a well-known sea resort. I
shall never forget that visit.
On the day I arrived at Morib, my cousin told me that he would do to make my stay there a very
interesting one. He said that he would make a raft to use it in the sea. Then he would buy fishing net to
catch some fish in the shallow water near the coast. When I heard all this, I was very delighted because it
was one of the reasons that I had decided to visit my cousin. We then walked up to the beach which is
near his house...

The difficulties in learning English and how to overcome them

Beginners of foreign language always meet difficulties from the outset. For me, I had to overcome these
problems when I started learning English.
English pronunciation is my first obstacle. The pronunciation in English puzzles me a lot because the same
letter has different sounds. For example the letter “a” in “bath” is not pronounced in the same way of
that in “bathe”. The “ou” in “South” is also different from “ou” in “Southern”. Generally verbs and nouns
are pronounced differently although they are written the same. Record is a good example to illustrate it...

My favorite game/sport
My most favorite game is Football. It is a world famous game. Football is such a popular game that it is
played even in the most remote corner of my country. People walk long distances to watch a football
match. Even old people enjoy watching this game...
