T: Your homework was to prepare the presentation “My Own TV Show”. Now try to share your ideas with your classmates.

 Reading

1) Pre-Reading Activity.

 T: Let’s divide into two groups. You should read the text” TV or not TV” and the task for group № 1 is to copy out the arguments for TV, for group №2 is to copy out the arguments against TV.

2) While-Reading Activity.

      Television is one of the greatest achievements of the 20^th century. It is the most popular part of mass media. Television plays a big role in every civilized society. Today television gives people a possibility to be well informed and enjoy “civilized pleasures”. The programmes are various and people have a chance to select what they want to see. Television provides great opportunities for education. There are programmes devoted to specialized subjects. With the help of TV, it is possible to learn foreign languages, to know a lot of wonderful things concerning the world flora and fauna. TV teaches the ideal of democracy and political arguments. Watching television can be compared with reading books. It provides an outlet for creative talents.

The different channels show programmes of various kinds from documentaries, current events and sport to American films and science fiction cartoons. Now this medium of communication allows people to see and speak with other if they are separated by thousand kilometers. TV shocked, surprised and stimulated. It brought ballet, opera and theatre to big masses of people.

It is said that only three generations have grown up with television, but they managed to forget how to spend their free time without television. Its role is increasing not because it is an entertainer or informant, but because of the grip it has on many people. It is called a “living room monster” or “one-eyed monster”. TV can keep children quiet. If they are noisy their mothers turn on the set. Children watch commercials, horror films of violence. TV prevents children from creating their abilities.  To force their children away from their favourite evening programmes to their homework has eventually become the main problem of the parents of different countries.

TV is damaging for health. It has bad effect on the eyes, particularly of children. The physicians proved that if children do not watch TV they find themselves without anything to talk about at school, where comedians and singing stars are major topics during breaks between classes. The same is true about some adults. Sometimes TV programmes become the topics of common interest of people and without them they have nothing to talk about…

Contemporary people for various reasons depend on television. They watch everything from news and sports reports to dramas, educational and entertainment programmes. Today some people become TV addicts and feel themselves unhappy if they fail to find another way of passing leisure time. Free time is regulated by television. TV occupies our free time. Instead of going to the theatre or reading books people watch TV. People rush home, gulp food to be in time to watch their favourite programmes. People have stopped reading books and depend on TV pictures. Spoken words become more important. No surprise that television is often called “chewing gum for men’s brains”. People become lazy, instead of doing sports they watch TV. If they are deprived for various reasons of watching their favourite programmes they feel inconvenience.

3) Post-Reading Activity.

T: Let’s check up what you have done.  Add your own reasons for positive and negative sides of television.
