Приложение 1

Television is a great way to learn. It’s easier than reading book. I wish we could watch more television at school. But on the whole, most telly programmes are rubbish, too serious. Television should be entertaining, you know, fun. I wish there were more police shows and sports. And more adverts, too.

British television is the best in the world. We have a lot of variety and good quality. We try to entertain and educate. That’s why so many British television programmes are exported. We need more channels and more broadcasting. Up to 20 hours a day, for example.

The kids come home and turn on the box. Parents have no control. And some of the programmes are really violent. There are terrible problems with reading and writing. Kids don’t read books any more. They spend a lot of time just sitting and watching the telly.

Приложение 2

Everyone has a different way of using television. Here are some types of television viewers.

The absent-minded:

This type of viewer leaves TV on all day. In the meantime he eats, phones, reads or does his homework. For him television is really just background noise for his day.

The addict:

He won’t give up TV anything in the world. He watches the programmes in silence, with great concentration. Even during commercials, he won’t leave the screen for fear of losing a second of a programme. He usually chooses the programmes he wants to watch very carefully.

The bored:

He puts the TV on when he’s got nothing better to do. For him TV is the last resort. He only watches it when it’s raining or when he’s ill.

What sort of viewer are you?
