Television in Our life
Television now plays an important role in our life. It is difficult to say if it is good or bad for us. It is clear, that television has advantages and disadvantages.
But are there more advantages than disadvantages? In the first place, television is an entertainment. But it is not only a convenient entertainment. For a family of three, four or five, for example, it is more convenient and less expensive to sit comfortably at home than to go out to find entertainment in other places. They don't have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre or cinema. They turn on the TV-set and can watch interesting films, concerts, football matches.
But some people think that it's bad to watch TV. Those who watch TV need do nothing. We are passive when we watch TV. Television shows us many interesting programmes. But again there is a disadvantage here: we watch TV every evening, and it begins to dominate our lives.
My friend told me that when his TV-set broke down, he and his family found that they had more time to do things and to talk to each other. There are other arguments for and against television.
Very often the programmes are bad. Sometimes they show too much violence in films and news programmes. There is also too much pop music and ads. Ads on the whole are convenient for grown-ups. But is it good for children to watch all those ads where they show all kinds of underwear and what not?
I like to watch TV very much. I can do this all day, so sometimes my mother makes me turn off the TV. I have about 12 Russian channels, they are: NTV, MTV, ORT, RTR, and others. I also have a few other interesting channels such as: Cosmos TV, Cartoon Network, Discovery Channel, TVE and the BBC.
Some channels I like, and some are not. So, here are a few words on the channels that I like.
So, my favorite channel MTV. MTV is a music channel. 24 hours a day of music, can you believe it? I love to listen to music a lot, and sometimes I even compose music for themselves, so I like to watch MTV.
I also watch NTV. This channel has a very interesting films. This channel has a lot of sports, I like, especially football on NTV. Typically, this channel goes futbolnoyh two matches a week (one Champions League and one match of the championship of Russia).
I also like a few foreign channels, especially Eurosport. Channel Cartoon Network is also good, but I think he is more suitable for younger children, but not for me.
That all about me? I still want to tell you about their favorite channels my parents.
