Watching a variety of shows might give us a broader understanding of the world we live in and expose us to things we might otherwise never come across in our own lives. Exercise 4: Complete the following sentences with no more than three words. Disadvantages of watching television Sex, crime, and violence are frequently depicted on television and may have negative effects on impressionable children (and adults!). Kids who see violent acts are more likely to display aggressive or violent behavior and also to believe that the world is a scary place and that something bad is going happen to them. Ongoing studies have shown a lasting correlation between watching violence on television and aggression that begins in childhood and continues into adulthood. Viewers sometimes imitate violent, criminal, sexual, or other risky behavior they see on television... and end up in trouble, in jail, or in a hospital as a result. Watching too much television is not good for your health. Studies have shown that there is a correlation between watching television and obesity. Excessive TV watching (more than 3 hours a day) can also contribute to sleep difficulties, behavior problems, lower grades, and other health issues. Television makes us antisocial, taking the place of family and friends. It’s a waste of time. Watching television fills the time a person might have spent doing important, enriching things like interacting socially with other human beings, being physically active, discovering the outdoors, reading, using one’s own imagination, or accomplishing other things like working or doing homework or chores, or spending time with enriching hobbies like art, music, etc. Television might be addictive. For those who watch a lot, it’s very hard to quit, so it is similar to a dependency like alcoholism or any another addiction. Recent studies have found that up to 12% percent of TV-watchers feelunhappy about the amount of TV they watch, consider themselves addicts yet feel incapable of stopping themselves. 1.

While your new RV is spacious and roomy, you will think twice about loading up your old treadmill. 2. ...................................................................................... Removing a rent or mortgage payment frees up a large amount of cash. While living on the road can make holding a traditional job difficult, many nomads are turning to the Internet to fund their journeys. You may also be able to get work from town-to-town. Bear in mind that the nomadic life has its own expenses. For example, nomads who live in a RV must continually fuel their home, find campsites and pay for insurance. 3. ......................................................................................
