Read what some people think about TV and say whether you agree with them. Give your comments and examples.
Example
I agree that there are a lot of silly programmes and shows on TV. I also think
they take most of TV time. Just imagine what a waste of time reality shows and
soap operas are! The reality show "House-2" is a good example. How can people
watch others live their lives instead of living their own?
1. There are so many silly programs and shows on TV! They take most of TV time.
2. The most interesting documentaries and films of all kinds are mostly shown late at
night. It means that people go to bed well after midnight and feel sleepy in the
morning.
3. TV cuts us off from the real world. Most of us prefer to sit glued to the TV screen
and watch others working instead of doing something ourselves.
4. There is so much violence on TV nowadays. It may lead to violence in real life.
5. TV makes children lazy and keeps them away from doing homework.
6. It's great to have a chance to watch an exciting film on TV but commercials make it
so long!
(The text is about The 24 Hours of Le Mans, France!)
Skill, speed, and stamina are the three s’s that mark the world’s best automobile race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The race, organized by Automobile Club de L’Ouest, bridges past and present on the automotive circuit.The competition is set on a non-permanent track at Circuit de la Sarthe near the city of Le Mans on the Sarthe River. Roughly 46 cars start the race, in a series of classes that include prototype high-performance vehicles, dedicated race cars, and street cars. The diversity of autos gives the race a mix of old-fashioned and modern competitors. The winner is the car, driven by a team of three drivers, that covers the greatest distance in 24 hours.The first Le Mans contest took place in May 1923; today it is held every June. The race begins at 4 p.m., and for 24 hours the sound of roaring engines fills 8 miles (13 kilometers) of French countryside.
