American boys and girls love to watch TV. Some children spend (花费) six hours (小时) a day in school and four to six hours (四到六小时) a day in front of the TV set (在电视机前). Some even watch TV for eight hours or more on Saturday.
Televisions (电视) are like books or films. A child can learn bad things and good things from them. Some programs(节目) help children to understand (理解)the news, others show people and places from other countries or other time in history (历史). With television a child does not have to go to the zoo to see animals to the ocean (海洋) to see a ship. Boys and girls can see a play, a concert (音乐会) or a game at home.
Television brings many places and events (大事) into our homes. Some programs (节目) show crime(犯罪) and other things that are bad for children, so parents sometimes help them to find other interesting things to do.
