Unit 7
THE MASS MEDIA
- D: Writing
Television plays an important role to the life of people. Watching TV has a lot of advantages as well as disadvantages.
Television brings us a lot of advantages. Firstly, television helps us to learn more about the world and to know and see many new things. Secondly, it can make things memorable because it presents information in an effective way. Thirdly, it entertains us. Watching it is an enjoyable way to relax. Fourthly, it increases the popularity of sport and games. Finally, television makes us aware of our global responsibilities.
However, there are some disadvantages of television. First of all, television makes us passive. We don’t have to think so our brains become lazy. Another disadvantage is that it encourages us to buy things that we don’t need. In addition, it takes time away from activities such as reading and games. Furthermore , some television programmes may make people violent. Lastly, television interferes with family life and communication.
In conclusion, television is neither good nor bad. Television is as good or as bad as we make it.
