T:
Do you know that TV has some advantages and disadvantages? Let’s read the text
and discuss the positive and negative sides of TV.
But first of all,
let’s work with the list of words, try to understand them.
Before reading:
answer the question “Do you agree that TV has positive and negative sides? What
sides are predominant to your mind?”
Advantages and disadvantages of TV
Watching TV, you know, is the perfect way to spend our free time. Do you agree?
Or maybe you don’t? It’s a well known fact that TV has good and bad sides.
First of all it keeps people informed; we can learn a lot of information
watching TV. We can choose programs that appeal to us more, because TV provides
programs for all interests. Sometimes with the help of TV we can relax,
entertain ourselves, especially when we are tired.
Advertisement on TV gives us information about different products, and it makes
it easier to choose things to buy. When we watch TV we learn something new
about the world, famous people and recent news.
But, on the other hand, TV has a lot of disadvantages. It takes a lot of time
and it makes us lazy. Besides, it’s very harmful for our health, especially for
our eyes. Some violent programs and films on TV make people violent. Violence
becomes a vital problem in our days.
There is too much advertisement on TV. Sometimes it can encourage us to buy
things we don’t need at all. Watching TV takes all free time from almost all
people. We just watch it, not concentrate, and waste time.
So, we can’t say exactly whether it’s useful to watch TV or not, as TV has its
advantages and disadvantages.
Millions people in the world spend hours watching TV every day… But what for?
Do people really think it’s the best way to spend time?
Many people become TV-addicted and it’s really a problem of our time. But the
fact is that “so many people, so many minds!” And what do you think?
T: Make up the
table, using facts from the text (it’s better to divide the class in to two
groups, the first one – to find the advantages of watching TV, the second one -
to find the disadvantages of watching TV)
