1 . Many people like to watch TV. It is one of the important activities of a day. TV brings the outside world closer to people’s homes. Some people say the world is now smaller than before because of TV. Perhaps they are right.
What’s going on in other countries? What’s the life like in the deepest parts of the sea? Well, just turn on the TV. Turn it on and watch. You can see a lot and you can learn a lot. Of course, people can also learn through reading or listening to the radio. But with TV they learn better and more easily. Why? Because they can hear and watch, too. TV helps to open our eyes. TV also helps to open our minds. TV often gives us new ideas. We learn newer and better ways of doing things.
