Read the dialogue. Say what arguments for and against TV are offered in it and with which opinions you agree ( disagree).
A.: TV is doing a lot of harm. We begin to forget how to occupy our spare time. For example, we used to have hobbies, we used to meet our friends, and we used to go to the cinema, theatre and sporting events. We used to read books and listen to music. Now all our free time is given to TV.
B.: Well, nobody makes you watch TV. If you don’t like it, switch off your TV set. But why do you forget what a great amount of information we get. I think we must watch TV to be well informed. It gives wonderful possibilities for education. Besides, there are a lot of programmes. We can choose what we want to see.
A.: Yes, I agree. But I am always under the impression that little by little TV cuts us off from the real world. It's so easy to sit in our armchair watching others working. We get too lazy, we choose to spend a fine day glued to our sets, rather than go out into the world itself. TV prevents us from communicating with each other. Only when we spend a holiday far away from civilization, we quickly discover how little we miss television.
B.: No, I disagree entirely. It's an absurd idea that TV makes you its slave. It enriches our intellect, gives us opportunities to see the best actors and performances, to hear the latest news, to listen to political discussions. To my opinion TV is a great force in the world.
