Suggested structure Nowadays, televisions are widely used in our
daily life. Some people are confident that watching
TV brings us many benefits while others firmly
holds that we should be far away from the
televisions.
Some people agree that televisions make
contributions to our life. The main reason is that
not only does the television supply a more instant
approach for people to gain information, but also
can make us relaxed after working for a whole day.
What’s more, TV helps to widen our knowledge
and view by covering news.
Sample On the contrary, the other people advocate that
watching TV has many shortages. For one thing,
watching TV is one of the reasons which make more
students wear spectacles. For another thing, some
children are always so addicted to it that they pay
less attention to their study. Last but not least,
people spend so much time watching TV that they
do not have sufficient time to think by themselves,
which is bad for people’s thinking ability. In my opinion, I stand on the former opinion
that while watching TV has its drawbacks, the
advantages are more obvious. Watching TV has
changed into one of the most important ways
which can make us acquire more information.
