Text A

Television unifies us

The press, television and radio (mass media) play an important part in the life of society. They influence the way people look at the world and make them change their views. Some people say, ‘news is not what happens – it is what you see or read in mass media.’ In other words, mass media shapes public opinion. (Sometimes it is good, but sometimes it is terribly bad. It depends.)

Millions of people watch TV and read newspapers and magazines in their spare time. Television dominates one’s life if the family watches it most of the time. Television informs, educates, and entertains people, but it is also a habit-forming drug impossible to resist.

Various TV shows, such as quiz, and music programmes attract a large audience. During TV quiz programmes the questions are answered by the viewers at home.

Then there are daily TV serials known as soap operas. Some people find them boring, others consider them to be good entertainment and relaxation.

Some people say there is too much violence on television, which has a bad influence on young viewers. Television often shows scenes of violence.

But it is hardly fair to say that TV doesn’t try to raise the cultural level of the people or develop their artistic taste. Many TV programmes are excellent: they are made in good taste and with great professional skill. Television brings into millions of homes not only news and entertainment, but also cultural and educational programmes.

Good or bad, television brings the world into our home and brings us closer to other people. Besides, it is good company for people who live alone.
