Television now plays an important role in our life. It is difficult to say if it is good or bad. It is clear that television has advantages and disadvantages.

In the first place television is an entertainment. But it is not only a convenient entertainment. For a family it is more convenient and less expensive to sit comfortably at home than to go out to find entertainment in other places. They don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theater or cinema. They turn on the TV set and can see interesting films, concerts, football matches.

But some people think that it is bad to watch TV. Those who watch TV need do nothing. We are passive when we watch TV. Television shows us many interesting programmes. But again there is a disadvantage here: we watch TV every evening, and it begins to dominate our lives.
