Television, abbreviated to TV, is a widely used communication system for broadcasting or receiving moving pictures and sound over a distance. It is one of the most indispensable parts of human life. Some people even regard it as a member of their family. Although it is an invention and made by human, why do people think that television is something excellent? According to TİK( Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu), average time that people have spent watching TV is 5.11 hours in United States and is 4.5 hours in Turkey. Everyone enjoys watching TV channels, because they can obtain new things or just entertain by watching them. Therefore, television is an advantageous tool because of its educational, funny and informative elements.
First
of all, TV includes many programs from which people can learn plenty of
information. It provides many opportunities like history and science channels

the interest of a student more than his/her history lecture, so the facts
obtained from here are more lasting for the students. Additionally, there are
many cartoons and animation films for children. These programs show many of
visuals and the contents of these cartoons are mainly designed for teaching
basic knowledge of life to children. For example,
Peppe and Calliou are cartoons which give examples of
social rules to children. As the time passes, children become more aware of

improves their intelligence to a great extent.
Secondly,

their favorite matches, teams or sports in these channels. A few of people can
go matches and watch it in the same time. The rest use their TV channels for
this purpose and this makes TV more important for them.
Finally,
people can get more information about what is happening in all over the world.
It is not possible to visit every country and learn their culture its own
place. However, TV gives people chance to see almost every beauty of the world.
Different types of cultures, languages and life styles are represented by some
TV channels like National Geographic. Each of TV series is also a source to
learn different cultures because they reflect the society where they take place.
Besides, all of the events in the world are announced by TV and people can be
informed about the news in both their own country and the others even in a few
hours. They can also guess the weather by watching whether forecasts and they

Dear Merve,
YanıtlaSilI want to start with congratulating you on choosing an interesting, debatable and current topic at the same time. It is good that you told about the different aspects of the benefits of watching TV, but in order to obtain an article which has strong basis, you could have mentioned the negative effects. However, it would make your passage much more longer than normal, so you have right to have done it this way. There are some grammar and spelling mistakes such as "sports" instead of "sport", "entertain" should be used in the passive form, "enable" entails an object and "go to the matches" instead of "go matches". I, again, want to thank you for your elaborate work! Have an excellent holiday! :)
