VIII Read the letter below carefully then choose the correct option A, B, C or

Dear Editor,
I am writing with regards to the article “Is the TV Dead?” that appeared in yournewspaper on the 4th March The author claimed that with the rise of theInternet, the TV was becoming less and less significant in our lives
I find it very difficult to agree with this view The TV is still the main way most of
us get our entertainment at home It offers us the chance to see top musicalartists, great films and documentaries and occasionally, thanks to important
Trang 5televised events, it has the power to bring the whole nation and all ages together
in a way the Internet never could
Your article was particularly critical of the TV for the poor quality of programsavailable on the many channels we now have It is certainly true that many of thechannels offer nothing more than repeats or low budget programs However, I
would argue that the majority of content on the Internet is also of questionable
quality I agree with the writer that it is easy to keep up - to - date with the latestnews on the Internet, but I'm sure most of us still enjoy sitting down to the News
on TV in the evening just as much
The writer is correct in stating that the Internet has become our major source forresearch and I think this is its main strength However, criticizing the TV for notbeing as good is totally unfair Information programs like documentaries aremade for their potential as entertainment not as research tools and as such willcontinue to be popular with viewers
So in conclusion I don't think the writer should be so quick to write the TV off Onthe contrary, I think it has many more years left in it!
Yours sincerely,
Samantha Johnson
