  Example of introduction
  The younger generation often appears ignorant about their country’s history. Some people see the reason for this in the extremely low output of anything of educational value of the modern mass media. However, others believe that we can hardly blame TV and radio for their ignorance.
  Nowadays radio and television fail to offer enough educational programmes for teenagers. As a result, young people don’t have enough information about their country’s past and lose interest in history. For me there is no doubt that mass media should stimulate teens’ natural curiosity to learn and should create more educational programmes aimed at young people.

  I cannot agree more that TV and radio do not influence young people’s attitudes to life very much anymore. This results in the need for educational institutions to play a greater role in forming teens’ attitudes towards different controversial issues.
  I cannot agree more that TV and radio do not influence young people’s attitudes to life very much anymore. In fact young people spend approximately three times longer in front of their computers than in front of the television.
  I cannot agree more that TV and radio do not influence young people’s attitudes to life very much anymore. What determines teenagers’ attitude to their native country is the beliefs they acquire in the family.
  I cannot agree more that TV and radio do not influence young people’s attitudes to life very much anymore. That is true because watching television isn’t the most popular pastime for teens. They prefer to relax in other ways.
