READING

Television in My Family

Some people think that television has bad effects on people. They are right in some ways. For example,
some TV programmes contain violence and bad language. Small children and young children should LEARN STEP BY STEP
never watch them. They should watch the programmes that are suitable for them. Watching too much
TV is another important problem in families. In
my family, we all watch television, but it does
not affect our family relationships. We enjoy
spending time together and having some
outdoor activities. I usually watch TV at the
weekend. I like wildlife documentaries and quiz
shows. I think they are educational. My father
prefers watching the news in the evening. He
enjoys informative programmes. My mother
usually watches reality shows and late-night talk
shows. She doesn’t like soap operas or TV series.
My brother prefers sports programmes and
sitcoms. He never watches documentaries with
me because he thinks they are boring. Sally
