American boys and girls love to watch TV. Some children spend six hours a day in school and four to six a day in front of the TV set. Some even watch TV for eight hours or more on Saturday.
TVs are like books or films. A child can learn bad things and good things from them. Some programs help children to understand the news; others show people and places from other countries or other time in history. With TV, a child does not have to go to the zoo to see animals, or to the sea to see a ship. Boys and girls can see a play, a concert(音乐会) or a game at home.
TV brings many places and things into our homes. Some programs show crimes and other things that are bad for children,so parents sometimes help them to find other interesting things to do.
