Steve, 13
I love TV. The first thing I do when I wake up is to switch it on. My
favourite channel is the Cartoon Network. I watch TV three or 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.
I’m addicted to my favourite progammes.
Kate, 14
I know 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 also enjoy watching live shows and
films, mostly comedies and thrillers. I watch TV two or three hours
aday.
Rachel, 17
I like TV as everybody else, but now that I’m older I am more selective
about the programmes I watch. I used to watch cartoons all the time.
Now I like watching the news and some games shows like “Who wants
to be a millionaire?”, so I don’t really spend too much time in front of
the box, an hour or two a day... Some programmes are educational and
help us to useour imagination, but many are full of violence.
