School: Everyday English TV: Is it a good thing? Television is one of the most important inventions of the century.Almost everyone owns a TV set at home today. First of all, thanks to television we have the latest information at our fingertips. We are constantly informed of what is happening around the world without leaving home. Furthermore, television has made learning at home possible. In fact, some stations dedicate their programmes to specific interests. A further advantage is that old people living alone find television very good company. It helps them forget their loneliness. On the other hand, too much television can create problems in the family. If it not the constant argument of which channel to watch, it is the isolation of family members. watching television doesn't feel like talking or being disturbed as they are so absorbed in what they are watching. Hence, the term. Too much television implies lack of outdoor activities and we find that there are and less people taking exercises. Television, nevertheless, remains one of the most interesting inventions. Carefully controlled viewing makes it an indispensable instrument in our daily lives otherwise, it can turn into an addiction with harmful consequences. ||

** Let's look closely at the task itself now. ** **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica;"> Today's television: "A load of old rubbish" or "More choice than ever before"? ** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica;">**<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica;"> Is today's television still good value for money? **

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica;">**<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica;"> Unfortunately you don't really get to grips with the abaove questions. What you have written is more of a generalised essay on TV rather than a comment on its quality and value for money. You have to be very careful in the exam to answer all aspects of the tasks or you could lose valuable marks. **

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica;">**<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica;"> To sum up, therefore, there are no problems in terms of language expression - just make sure that you pay close attention to the task in the exam and answer the right question! **
