Boys and girls love to watch TV. Some children spend(花费) six hours a day in school and four hours a day in front of the TV set. Some children even watch TV for eight or more hours on Saturday. TV programs （节目） are like books or films. A child can learn bad things from some of them and good things from others. Some programs help children to know the news from other countries or other times in history. 

With TV a child doesn't need to go to the zoo to see animals or to the sea to see a ship. Boys and girls can see a film, a play or a basketball match at home. Some programs can teach children how to cook or how to use tools(工具). It is interesting to watch TV, but it is also interesting to read a book or to visit friends.
