1a Skim the passage to find out its topic sentence
and underline it.
In China, television is very popular. Many people spend most of their spare time watching it. It has a huge influence on people's lives. Is all this television good for us or bad for us
As is known to all, television is one of the most important ways of getting information, such as the news all over the world, history, culture and interesting stories. It provides us with a more lively way to discover the outside world. Also, we can see great movies, operas and concerts. Therefore, television is not only a way we learn about the world, but also a good entertainment.
However, many people think television is bad for us. They say that all the violence on TV makes people become violent. Violence can give children bad ideas. TV can also make people lazy. Instead of doing outdoor activities, they usually sit in front of the screen for hours enjoying the funny shows and cartoons without a break.
In general, the problem not television, but the programs we choose to watch. We have learned how to choose the best in newspapers, books and magazines. Now we have to learn to do with television programs, too. After all, it's our choice.

Pair Work
Design a new TV program you would like to watch. Then write a short passage to describe it. The information, such as its name, content, show time, viewers, may be included.
I would like to design a TV program called SOS, which means “save our souls”. There are a lot of poor children in China who cannot receive a good education. The TV program would introduce the hard living conditions of these children. With the help of the whole nation, money would be raised to build schools for these children.
The program would report their learning situations after they go to school. Whenever they make progress, a little or a lot, it would be shown in the program. The children who accept this help would also be encouraged to help others. With this program, we could do something useful for our people and our country.
