TV Improves the Quality of Life

Lynn Jhang

Some people say that watching television is a waste of time. Some people even think watching television may destroy family life because it makes people just sit on the sofa and do nothing. But I think watching TV is a great entertainment and it also makes family relationship become better.

Watching television lets us know various kinds of knowledge. Some program’s content is very educational. For example, Discovery Channel introduces the lives of many wild animals to us. It also brings up the environment problems and reminds us to protect our earth. Some science teachers even use the Discovery Channel as teaching materials. Parents also can use this program to educate their children.

Watching television is a good way to relax. Entertainment programs let people feel relaxed when they watch them. They make people relax because people don’t need to think hard about the shows. Our family usually watches TV shows together after work. For example, we often discuss the content of the shows and laugh at some interesting part of the programs together. I always feel very happy and relaxed during that time, and I also felt close to my family at these moments.

Watching television makes family members communicate to each other. Some TV programs discuss some problems that parents don’t know how to deal with their child. For example, some Chinese parents feel embarrassed by teaching their children knowledge about sex. Those programs just offer a chance to let parents educate their kids. That is, they can watch and discuss those programs together.

Although watching television has some bad influences on us like getting shortsightedness, if we choose TV programs carefully we still can enjoy the benefits of watching TV.
