otherwise.
It has been found that TV is an interactive tool that encourages children to develop their
social and communicative skills. By watching TV, they are more carefree, open and find it easy to
communicate with others.
TV also helps them develop their English Language skills through programmes like
Sesame Street and Playhouse Disney. It is no secret that their listening abilities are enhanced as

just smile when they do not intend to start a conversation.
Usually a question is used as a greeting: Where are you going? Hows everything with
you? But questions like these are not real questions. They do not require a full answer or even a
