Steve,13: 

My favourite channel is the cartoon Network. I watch TV more than four hours a day. My parents think it is too much and they are always telling me to study, read a little or do a sport. But TV is my favourite hobby. 

Kate, 17: 

Most teens don’t like watching the news, but I do. I like to know what is happening around our world. I also enjoy documentaries, especially about wildlife. I’m very curious about the way animals live and how to preserve their habitats. I like watching live shows and films. It is good to watch some educational programmes to use our imagination but many are full of violence. I watch TV two or three hours a day.
