PRACTICE TEST$6


I Read the following passage.
In a discussion at Kenton Primary School parents were warned against the bad influence TV might have on their children. Mr. Parker, a teacher at Kenton Primary, pointed out that this was bad influence on the children. One mother protested. She said that it was a mistake to blame the “ox” for everything. Real people had more influence on children than any characters they might see on TV. Mr. Parker agreed but added that children became more aggressive when watching TV. Parents should find out about the shows their children watch and perhaps offer suggestion. When a worried mother asked how many hours of TV he suggested for 10-year-old children, Mr. Parker said “the fewer the better”.
