TUNING OUT THE TV (homework)

Advantages and disadvantages of televisionTelevision is one of the greatest achievements of the 20th century. Sometimes I like to watch TV. But I do not spend much time in front of this. It is the most popular part of mass media. Today every family has a TV-set in their kitchen, bedroom or living room.

TV has changed much since the time of its invention and so has its role. There have been numerous debates concerning advantages and disadvantages of television.



Here I have some advantages of having a television:
* The possibility to be well informed and enjoy civilized pleasures
* Students have a chance to select what they want to see.
* People provide great opportunities for education.
* Using a TV it is possible that people could learn a foreign language.
* People gets to know a lot of wonderful things concerning the world’s flora and fauna.
* TV is a medium of communication allows people to see and speak with each other if they are separated by thousands of kilometers.

At the beginning of the 21st Century TV became a colored world network. Numerous programs people can receive by satellite or cable.

Some disadvantages of watching TV are:
* People have to follow certain rules
* Today some people become TV addicts and feel unhappy if they fail to find another way of passing leisure time.
* Generally People are free to behave as they like
* People avoid talking with family, friends or others when they watched TV programs. for that reason people used to have problems to express their feelings and thoughts
* Free time is regulated by television, Instead of going to the theatre or reading books people watch TV, people have stopped reading books and depend on TV pictures.

The best thing is to watch only selective TV programs and not to be governed by them. I think only a few people today can live without television.Television plays an important part in the human life despite increasing influence of the Internet, video games and other source of information.
