Reading (I semester)

Read and say True or False

• Watching TV has both positive and negative sides. Watching educational shows is beneficial, however watching cartoon and reality shows is mostly not. Heavy television usage is not helpful because you are wasting time while you can finish your work, do sports or read. I usually don’t watch TV during the school week because I get home late after classes and sports. To know the weather forecast or listen to favourite music I switch on the radio. At least I can get necessary information in the Internet. On weekends, I usually watch the entertainment show “Modern Family”. It’s really cool. My Mom likes serials and soap operas and Dad adores football matches. If my Dad watches TV it is difficult to tune out the sound. I don’t like reading newspapers because of their too big format, I’d rather read a book in my school bus. But I really think the Internet can replace TV, radio, newspapers in 50 or 80 years, not earlier. There are a lot of people who like to keep paper pages in their hands and listen to the information instead of surfing it by themselves.
