model essay 29-1

television

television presents a vivid world in front of us.on television，we can watch exciting football

matches or olympic marathons.we can“travel”to new york to visit its famous

monuments and museums or to london to attend the royal wedding.we can also“go”to a concert with a cup of coffee in one hand. with a tv set，we can take part in many events

without leaving the house.

television can also play an educational role in our daily life.besides regular courses to tv

university students，television also offers various educational programmes for different

viewers.children like“tan gram”；young people like the“abc of computers”；and elderly people like“life and health”.of all the educational programmes，“english on sunday ”is my favourite.

however，television can also be harmful.it hurts our eyes and can cause nearsightedness.watching tv too much influences our

sleep and work and cuts down children's study time.furthermore，some tv programmes are ideologically

incorrect.in short，we should watch tv selectively and

regard it as our servant，not our master.
