Professor
Over the next few weeks, we are going to look at lots of different materials about the role of television programs and television watching in people's lives. But first, I want to know what you think about this topic. So here's a question for the class discussion board: What do you think is the most significant effect that watching television has on people? Why do you think television has this effect?
Kelly
I know that one way that television influences people's behavior is that when you are watching television, you are not moving around or exercising. This is especially true for children. The American Academy of Pediatrics says that when children spend a lot of time watching television, they have a greater tendency to be overweight.
Paul
I think the main effect that television has on people is to broaden their experience. There are so many programs devoted to nature and travel. Think of all the different places in the world you can experience through television! Last night I watched a program about life in Antarctica, and it was fascinating!

Admittedly, Paul was right that television will lead people to unhealthy life which may have some negative influences on children. Children may get addicted to watching television dramas which will waste much time and even influence their study. Nevertheless, it’s not difficult for parents to control children to avoid these negative influences. They can restrict the time that children waste on television and guide them to do some exercise outside. In this way, watching television is just a way to help people to relax. Therefore, as Paul mentioned, watching diverse content on television is a good way for people to enrich their knowledge and broaden their horizons. Such as documentaries and news, they can provide plenty of information that we have never seen. Take The Blue Planet, BBC’s famous nature documentary, which shows us a colorful ocean world that we may never know without watching television for example. Television’s vivid expression will leave a deep impression in children’s minds and trigger their imagination. In this way, watching television arouses people’s interest in exploring our world and even benefits children’s studies.

While Paul correctly points out that excessive television watching can lead to an unhealthy lifestyle, particularly for children, it is important to recognize the potential benefits as well. It is true that children may become addicted to watching television dramas, which could negatively impact their studies and overall well-being. However, parents can take measures to mitigate these effects by limiting screen time and encouraging outdoor activities.
In contrast, as Paul mentioned, television can serve as a valuable tool for broadening one's horizons and enriching knowledge.

The vivid imagery and storytelling in such programs can leave lasting impressions on viewers' minds and spark their imaginations.
By fostering curiosity about the world around us, television can inspire people to explore new ideas and even enhance children's learning experiences.
