TV is a simply waste of life.Imagine sitting in a room and staring at a blank wall.After a while you would probably get bored and starting thinking of something to do.
Watching TV has the same (unhealthy) physical effects but it has different mental effects.Television 'de-borifies' you but you gain nothing from it.You could watch an educational program (good ones are rare) but you would still gain less than by reading a book about the subject for the same amount of time.TV stops you thinking about how much older you were when you started watching the program.
As a relaxation method,looking at a blank screen is just as good,at least you could imagine something!
TV is useful for selling stuff (inc.politics) and as a contraceptive,but has few other uses apart from jobs for people who work on the programs or make the sets.A major sporting or live event is probably the best use for TV,but on balance it's an anti-social machine.It's a communication device that encourages people not to communicate.Any country that banned TV would see an instant increase in productivity and probably a decrease in anti-social behaviour.
TV is more addictive than smoking,I know more people that have quit smoking than TV.Most people in poor countries who haven't got one wish they had one.Even I can't resist watching it despite this passionate argument,but sometimes I dream of piling dynamite at the base of every transmitter in Britain and pushing the plunger.

Occassionally there's something interesting on.Simpsons,Futurama,Family Guy,Adult Swim,these all provide much needed laughter and entertainment.Most of TV really is an utter waste of time though,and I couldn't imagine spending more than an hour a day watching it.I also have a terrible habit of losing interest during commercial breaks and going to do something else instead.
Speaking of commercials,tv advertising seems to have really gone downhill.Commercials these days don't even attempt to inform you about the product and instead rely entirely on gimmicks.Not only do you have to watch 5 minutes of advertising for every 10 minutes of programming,the advertising manages to be entirely devoid of content.I'll usually leave the room to get a snack (or give up on watching entirely) after the first 30 seconds of a commercial break since there's nothing there to focus on.Instead of 30 seconds of information on how a product can benefit me,commercials now result to jokes and do their best to stand out by being "different".The primary purpose seems to be get the viewer to watch the ad rather than having the ad say anything useful.I'm having trouble describing the ads because there really is nothing there.They are empty.I can stare at an ad and I am not always sure what it's advertising,and associating the product with interruption of my tv show is not making me want to buy it.Maybe this is how things are sold on tv these days,but I'm starting to have doubts.The shopping channels still seem to have the right idea.The products are questionable at best,but the commercials go to great length to focus on the product and to make the viewer desire it.Lately my buying decisions have been influenced more by internet banner ads (not the punch the monkey style) than they have by tv.
Sorry for going into rant mode a bit,but I think the whole model that TV runs off of is slowly becoming outdated.I would watch a lot more TV if it was a pay per view or monthly ad-free subscription,and I could simply select the shows I want to watch and when.Basically the same type of system as legal music downloads,including the ability to store the show so I don't have to pay multiple times to watch the same episode (assuming a pay per view system).This would also be a terrific way of gauging a show's true popularity.Gems like Family Guy (Family Guy DVD sales are proof the show IS quite popular!) and Futurama would no longer be killed off because of an outdated ratings system and lack of good time slots.

What do you usually do in your spare time?
As a matter of fact, I have very little spare time these days. My studies are so important to me that I have given up all my other activities. For example, I used to love playing tennis, but these days I simply do not have the time. In addition, I used to swim often, as I believe it kept me fit without the danger of being injured.
What are your spare time interests?
Well, these days, I surf on the Internet in my spare time. I have just bought my first computer, and love to look for exciting web sites that I have not known before. It is of course very time consuming, so I don’t rally have time for anything else. I have to mention that it is an educational activity. For example, by means of web cams (video images from cameras set up at certain places) I am able to watch what wild animals are doing in many parts of the world. I particularly like to watch the polar bears playing with their cubs.
Do you often watch TV? What is your favorite program?
Yes, I often watch TV. My favorite program is called ‘Discovery’. As to why it is my favorite, I would like to mention the following. Firstly, it is not science fiction but a documentary on real life events and happenings. For example, it had a program on the latest eclipse of the sun that occurred at the end of the year. Secondly, it often has items about nature. For example, last week it explained how some birds have adapted to survive in a desert.
Do you think watching TV is a waste of time?
No, I do not think watching TV is a waste of time. Firstly, one can learn a lot from watching TV, and secondly, it is a good way to relax. For example, the soap operas help me to relax, while the documentaries are informative. Lastly, I believe that TV has become the best source of information these days. For example, it is a fast and convenient way to find out about the latest news from all over the world.


2.FRIENDS
What does friendship mean to you?
One of the aspects I could tell you about regarding this topic is that friendship is very important to me. For example, I believe that friendship should be the basis for many of our relationships. Husbands and wives, for example, should be friends. In addition, I need friends to help me when I am in trouble. I know this sound selfish, but I feel that it is one of the reasons why I have friends, and they would not mind me saying so. On the other hand, my friends know that I will always be available should any one of them get into some trouble.
Do you have a lot of friends?
Yes, I have a lot of friends. Some of them are only casual friends like my friends at work, but I also have some best friends. For example, I have some friends who I have known for many years. I will do anything to help them when they need me, and I know they would do the same for me.
Do you prefer to be alone or to be with friends?
I prefer to be alone. Please allow me to explain. I like reading, which takes a lot of my time. Reading to me is a way of studying, so I have to do it alone. I often have to check the meaning of unfamiliar words in my dictionary, which is a slow process taking a lot of time.
Do you prefer to be alone or to be with friends?
I prefer to be with my friends. Please allow me to explain. At work I spend most of my time alone in my office. So after work I like the company of other people. I often invite some of my friends over, and we listen to our favorite music, or just chat the whole evening.
Do you prefer to be alone or to be with friends?
Sometimes I prefer to be alone. For example, after a hard day at work I just want to relax without anybody disturbing me. Those are the times that I might meditate on the meaning of life for example, or just savour some fond memories. On the other hand, sometimes I want to be with my friends. For example, over weekends, I like to go out with them and enjoy their stimulating company.
What do you usually do with your friends?
Firstly, we often visit the nearest net bar for a number of reasons. For example, to play computer games or to surf the net. Sometimes we chat to young people abroad. We often spend hours there at a time. Secondly, we like to play basketball. For example, we would challenge another group to play against us.
What do you usually do with your friends?
We usually go to the movies. My friends and I like cartoons very much, so we will look in the newspaper where a new cartoon is being showed and go and watch it. In addition, we like to watch a good action movie from time to time. We find the spectacular crashes and explosions very exiting. These movies are from Hong Kong or Hollywood, and have famous actors like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tom Cruise playing in them.
3 News
What are the different ways people get news?
Newspapers, TV, Radio and magazines are the most important channels through which we get the news.Nowadays, Internet offers us a much easier access to the information. Sometimes our friends like to talk about daily events, which provides another way for us to get news.

What types of news do you like?
I prefer TV news to the radio news. I can get a better understanding of the news on TV because I can see the vivid pictures and images. In addition, I feel more convinced of the news through watching some TV interviews. Also, I like international news because I like to keep up-to-date about what's going on in the world in case I'm going on vacation, or need to do business abroad. I also like it because it teaches me about other cultures and that way learn a lot about human psychology.

Do you think children like the news?
No I don't think they are interested because it is soo depressing and kids look for humour in TV also they would be too young to understand what was going on.

Are old people and young people interested in the same (kinds of) news?
It really depends on the individual and not their age. For example: I know young people who are very interested in global events and some elderly interested in celebrity watching, and vice-versa. It is individual preference.
How does the news affect people?
News influences people by only reporting certain things and leaving out parts that could matter. One sided news or journalism isn't news but propaganda in my opinion. It's like the good old saying LeLe always mentioned: Some people would rather believe the lies of Satan than the truth of God.
4.READING
Do you like reading?
Yes. I like reading very much. Please allow me to explain. Firstly, I believe that all of us should read a lot. For example, when you read you acquire new knowledge, which in turn will broaden your views on important matters. In addition I also like reading ‘Crazy English’. The topics are interesting and short, and the translations ensure that I don’t waste time looking up unfamiliar words.
What kinds of books do you like best?
I like cartoons. Please allow me to explain. Firstly, I believe cartoons are a special form of art. For example, the Japanese cartoons that are common in China, have excellent illustrations.
What kinds of books do you like best?
I like novels. Please allow me to explain. Firstly, I like to read a storyline that is full of intrigue and suspense. For example, many love stories have characters who are involved in all sorts of conflicts amongst them. The most common one known all over the world since ancient times is the so-called ‘love triangle’.
Describe a book that you have read recently.
I have read a book about the life of Michael Jordan. I am sorry, but I have forgotten the name of the book. I also like to read Japanese cartoons.
Describe a book that you have read recently.
I have recently read a book about the history of South Africa. It is called ‘ The Covenant’, and was written by a famous American author called James Mitchener. It describes the history from the very first days, up to the present. It covers all aspects of the country, but focuses on the people of the country.
Do you often read the newspapers?
No. Allow me to explain the reasons by shortly mentioning the following points: Firstly, I use the Internet these days if I want to know what’s happening in China and the world. For example, websites like CNN contain all the latest news on world events. Secondly, I like to read about stories in depth, and this I cannot find in newspapers. For example, I often would like to know the history behind a story. On the Internet I can do some research right away, and so gain a broader perspective on the subject at hand.

5 SHOPPING
Do you like shopping?
Yes, I love shopping. Please allow me to explain. Firstly, I usually buy clothes for myself. I like to go to the shops and see what they have to offer. I browse around and compare the prices before a buy something. Secondly, I do the shopping of all our household needs. I love to find out about any new products on the market and how they can possibly make my life easier.
6 MOVIES
Do you often go to the cinema?
Yes, I go to the cinema as often as possible. I usually go with some friends to watch the latest action movies or comedies. We have a great time, like for example when our favorite star is playing a lead role in the movie.
Do you often go to the cinema?
Yes, I go to the cinema as often as possible. I believe that films are a wonderful form of art. Please allow me to explain. Firstly, in films there are a wide range of genres ranging from comedy and drama, to horror and science fiction. For example, recently I have seen the drama ‘Titanic’, which has been described as the most expensive film ever made. The extent to which the producers attended to the details of the original ship was astounding. Another example would be the thriller with my favorite actor Anthony Hopkins in the lead role called ‘Silence of the lambs’. It had me on the edge of my seat for most of the time.
Who is your favorite movie star? Describe him / her.
My favorite movie star is Jackie Cheng. He is handsome, and very funny. He always has a smile on his face, and never seems to be worried about the situations that he finds himself in. The U.S. President Clinton went to watch one of his movies with him.

Did you know that your brain cells move slower when you're watching TV than they do in your sleep? It's true, television is the most mindless activity that we know as of now! Sure, there are the so called 'educational programs' on TV, but keep in mind that these programs were made for commercial purposes and commercial purposes only. The producers are much more focus on ratings than teaching, effectively making these 'educational programs' one of the least efficient ways to learn. If we do not learn from mistakes in history, we are bound to repeat it. Television has already created a generation of couch potatoes in Europe and United States, a generation that munches on chips, is mesmerized by the screen, and haven't been able to see their toes for over a decade. Just so that I won't belong to a generation like that, I beg of you, please, make better use of your time, your body, your brains while you still have them. If you get sucked into the bottomless abyss that is television, you may lose it all before you have a chance to climb back up.
