Many people have forgotten what the world was like before TV. But today it has become an

4, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home than to go

out. They don’t have to pay for expensive tickets. All they have to do is to turn on TV and

often say, informs about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. A
lot of good films, music programs have appeared recently on TV. (4)_______ here again
there is a danger. We get to like watching TV so much that it begins to dominate our lives. A
friend of mine told me that when his TV set broke he and his family suddenly found that
they had much more time to do things. The most important thing which is really criticizing is
poor quality of the programs and its harmful effect on children. For example the film
“Natural Born Killers” teaches children to kill and there was one accident in France when a
group of teenagers kill their parents. There are many arguments for and against TV. I think
we must understand that TV in itself is neither good (5)______ bad. TV is as good or as bad
as we make it.
