IX Reading the passage and decide whether the followings statements are true (T) or false (F).
Television is a product that was invented in 1926 and has been developed over many years and it still continues to be developed The television was one of many great inventions in the 20th century
The television is an extremely popular product Over the years many people have bought the television Now, there are over 15,000 T.V channels in the world It is clear that the television
is a popular product but it is also bad for your sight People spend almost 4-8 hours in front of a screen (about a sixth to a third of a day) This results in less time to be physically active, spending time with family, doing homework to the best of their ability and reading This is bad as reading has been proved to affect how smart you are Also there are many inappropriate television shows that "hypnotize" children into thinking that something wrong is right or something bad is good
On the other hand, some may argue that television can be good for your education as some
television programs are documentaries, contain historical facts and help children stay up to date with the world around them (the news) I think that the television can be good for you if you can control how long you are on it and you watch the right types of programs however, even if you do watch good programs, it will still have an effect on your health and sight
