TELEVISION AND CHILDREN
Pronunciation
Read the words correctly (if necessary, consult your dictionary).
II. Read and discuss the following text. Express your opinion.
“Television is doing a great harm. It is a real monster.” How often we hear statements like this! Television hasn’t been with us all the time, but we are already beginning to forget what the world was like without it. What did we use to do before there was television? First of all, we never found it difficult to spend our free time. We used to enjoy civillized pleasures. For instance, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, we used to go outside for our amusements to theatres, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events. We even
used to read books and listen to music. All that belongs to the past. Now all our free time is regulated by the “magic box”. We rush home to be in time for this or that programme. A sandwich and a glass of tea will do — anything if only it doesn’t interfere with the programme.
•TIL Say what you think about the following.
Children and TV is a great problem.
Television must offer children instructive but not too difficult, entertaining but not thoughtless programmes.
On the one hand, television prevents children from spending their pastime in the street, on the other hand, it helps them to learn a lot about our world and develop their imagination. What is more important?
Children should watch only interesting and useful programmes, and not all the programmes for several hours running.
Television is not harmful, but if you let a child watch TV programmes without choice, he simply becomes a passive viewer.
Parents should give their children an opportunity to discuss with them what they have seen.

Practise the following dialogue. Say what your opinion on the topic is.
Four university students discuss advantages and disadvantages of television. Michael and Ann are Russian students, John is an American student and Ruth is an English student.
John: I think television is one of the worst inventions the man ever made. It occupies all our spare time. We rush home to be in time for this or that programme.
Ann: I can’t agree with you, John. Television makes it possible for people who live far away from cultural centres to watch theatrical productions, concert, music and drama competitions, international and national sports events and what not.
Ruth: I do agree with Ann in this. That’s an advantage the television has. Unfortunately children are the ones who suffer most.
John: Yes. Some American children spend more time in front of TV-sets than in front of the teacher. Too much television is bad for children.
Michael: Children should be taught what programmes to watch. Most of our educational programmes are really good and informative. I used to enjoy them when a child.
Ruth: We also have very good educational programmes — especially the one called “Play school”. It teaches the alphabet and arithmetic so that it seems like a game. That’s the way to teach young children. What I hate is violence which looks even more violent on colour television.
John: Yes, that’s really awful. There’s always a film of violence on one of the channels. I think children feel indifferent when people are killed.
Michael: I doubt that. Can’t your teachers do something about it? They should protest. But television companies take no notice of them. These films sell well.
2. Continue the following story which begins with the following words:
“I don’t often have a chance to watch TV programmes in the daytime on weekends but last year when I was laid up with pneumonia for almost a month I.”
3. Work in groups of four. One pair of students prepares arguments for
the statement; the other pair prepares arguments against it.
The violence on TV and in movies creates violence in real l ife.
There should be more educational TV programmes and movies.
Movie stars and television heroes are of no value to society.
Radio and television should not be commercial;
Radio and television have made newspapers unnecessary.
Do you agree?
