Question”3 1.

2. On the other hand. there are several serious disadvantage of television of course. it provides us with a pleasant way to relax and spend our free time. but in some countries. people watch the boob tube² for an average of six hours. or more a day many children stare at a television screen for more hours each day than they do anything else. including studying and sleeping it’s clear that he tube has a powerful influence on their lives and that its influence is often negative .

3. Recent studies show that after only thirty second of television viewing. a person’s brain’ relaxes’ the same way that it does just before the person falls asleep. another effect of television on the human brain is that it seems to cause poor concentration. children who view a lot of television can often concentrate on a subject for only fifteen to twenty minutes. they can pay attention only for the amount of time between commercials.

4. Another disadvantage is that television often causes people to become dissatisfied with their own lives. real life does not seem as exciting to these people as the lives of actors on the screen. to many people. television becomes more real than reality and their own lives seem boring. also many people get upset or depressed then they can’t solve problems in real life as quickly as television actors seem to.

5. before a child is fourteen years old. he or she views eleven thousands murders on the tube. he or she begins to believe that there is nothing strange about fights. killing and other kinds of violence. many studies show that people become more violent after certain programmes. they may even do the things that they saw in a violent show.

6. The most negative effect of the boob tube might be people’s addiction to it. people often feel a strange and powerful need to watch television even when they don’t enjoy it. addiction to a television screen is similar to drug or alcohol addiction. people almost never believe they are addicted.
