Dr. Diaz
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!

From my perspective, I agree with Paul's view, since exactly people can open their eyes on the television, they can see a lot of other area landscape. And it is easy way let people can quickly and accurate to receive news, people don't worry error when information comes from someone else. Nevertheless, I disagree with Kelly's view, because children's daily life are be controled very strict by them parent, so they don't have opportunity to watch television long time, while it can bring a lot of benefit for children, they can have more topic to discuss with their friend, and they can through news to raise their own idea. For example, for my when I was young, I very afaird talk with other, then I saw a lot of news that condition have better.

Title: 6 文章修订
In my opinion, the most significant effect of watching television is its ability to broaden people's experiences and perspectives, as Paul mentioned. Television exposes viewers to a vast array of information and landscapes from around the world, allowing them to gain knowledge and insights without physically traveling. Moreover, it serves as a reliable source of news, ensuring that people receive accurate information without the risk of miscommunication.
However, I disagree with Kelly's assertion that television contributes to a sedentary lifestyle and obesity in children. While excessive screen time can indeed have negative consequences, parental supervision plays a crucial role in regulating children's television consumption. Furthermore, watching TV can provide numerous benefits for children by offering them diverse topics for discussion with their peers and encouraging them to form their own opinions based on the news they consume. For instance, when I was younger, watching the news helped me overcome my fear of engaging in conversations with others and allowed me to develop informed opinions on various subjects. (170 words)
