Television has become an essential part of our daily life. It gives us much useful and interesting information. It makes a great opportunity for education and entertaining. Television keeps us informed about the current events in the world. Nowadays it offers a wide variety of channels and all kinds of programmes and films which are able to satisfy any taste and any age. Besides, thanks to satellite TV, we can watch channels from different countries.
According to the statistics data, the most regular TV viewers are housewives, pensioners and children. My grandmother, for instance, is very fond of Russian long-running sagas and Brazilian soap-operas which always have a happy end. She finds them quite relaxing. As for me, the story lines in those soap-operas seem unreal and too dramatic. My grandfather loves all news programmes and documentaries devoted to our history. When my mum stays at home she prefers watching different women’s talk-shows, concerts, quiz-shows or reality-shows.
