Everybody loves watching TV. We spend hours in
front of it every day, but is it good for us?
B Television can be a very useful tool. It gives us a lot
of information about the world. For instance, the news
tells us what is happening in the world. TV also teaches
us about the world. For example, documentaries teach
us about the animal world, space, the environment, and
technology.
On the other hand, TV can be bad for us. It often
makes us waste our time. For example, we often
spend hours in front of it instead of doing things we
have to do such as homework. Too much TV also
leads to an unhealthy lifestyle. For instance, many of
us often spend most of our free time on the couch
and never exercise.
To sum up, TV is a good source of information for
everyone. However, we should learn to control
ourselves and watch TV more responsibly.
