TV and My Family-电视和我的家庭

        第一篇：
        With the advance of science television has played a vital part in the day-to- day life of the people in developed or developing countries and its influence is simply astounding when I was young my family did not own a television set; so whenever we were free my younger sister and I would slip to a neighbor's where to watch their TV awhile Al though TV programs in those days were generally inferior we still had a good time for as young and indiscriminate children we were interested only in novelty and excitement Not until my family had bought a television set did I quit the habit of fooling around with my younger sister then this wonder of scientific wonders did do us a great service we now had more chances to chat with each other in front of the box I hope our television companies will keep on upgrading their programs so that the viewers can be benefited both morally and intellectually I t is our conviction hat television in addition its entertaining aspect should be educational as well.

        Many people think that TV can't teach you anything and most TV programs are just silly. True, there are a lot of shows that are anything but good. But if you watch, you will find that TV is still a powerful educational tool. With the emergence of the public TV in our country we now have more helpings of food for the mind. Take the travelogue "the world we live in" it provides us not only with vicarious travel experience but also with the histories and cultures of various nations. Spec live, what they wear and how they talk even though I can’t afford to travel to those countries. My family often sit together to watch a program and discuss it afterward. Sometimes my parents ask us what we would do in a similar situation and this gives us the opportunity to rethink. We should not forget that TV can be an excellent teacher. In this era of mass media we believe that TV, if guided into the right channel, can really fire our imagination and contribute to family cohesion.

        Whatever people may say to the contrary, I have on use for TV. I know there are many people who go along with me, even though they seem to be willing to fall under the spell of the box every time they turn it on. What a waste of time! Let me count the ways TV plays havoc among the members of my family who are all bitten by the TV bug. First, we keep our eyes on the TV screen, forgetting what are in the dishes at suppertime. Second, on occasion we quarrel like anything with one another over which program to watch. Third, as long term faithful TV viewers we all wear glasses—a sad phenomenon for which we alone are responsible. Fourth, sometimes, misdirected by what we see on TV, we lose our sense and go against our parents' wishes. These are the things I hold against TV, and there are many others;. In fine, TV does d9isturb the peace of my family and for the sake of my family I really wish my mother could throw away that damned thing wrongly dubbed "the greatest invention of the twentieth century." #p#分页标题#e#

        With the rapid progress made in mass media the television set has become one of the most important appliances in a home and there is every indication that TV is playing an increasingly important role in our daily life. TV can provide us with he quickest and most convincing information. We can stay at home and know what is happening around us or hundred miles away. Watching TV programs has become one of the major activities in many homes today. A wide range of TV programs can cater to different tastes. My folks always sit side by side after supper in the living room to watch evening news and, while listening to the newscaster, air their own views. In addition to news programs, my family are also aficionados of sports programs. When a sports program is due on the air, we would prepare some refreshments and drinks and when it really appeared on he screen we would watch it with rapt attention like a group of crazies. If a team representing our country scored or missed, father or brother would get excited and yell and sometimes the dog next door would bark after them. On such occasions I think commercials are not made to appear for nothing for, among other things, they do serve as a tranquilizer when TV watchers are beside themselves with excitement. At times a contest was not yet over while mother had already prepared her meal. Mother would wait till the end of the contest if we were not hungry, and then we would begin to dine. TV provides us with not only information but also entertainment and through TV we can also learn a lot about modern life. Incidentally, TV also plays a role in keeping a family together and that is another reason I like it.
