I. Reading Read the text
STEVE, 13 I love TV. The first thing I do when I wake up is to switch it on. My favourite channel is the
Cartoon Network. I watch TV three to four hours a day. My parents think it is too much and they are
always telling me to study, read a little or do a sport. But TV is my favourite hobby. Of course I know
that my marks at school could be better if I concentrated more on schoolwork and took more time to do
my homework, but I guess I’m addicted to my favourite programmmes. Anyway, I have already
promised my parents to watch less TV every day. I guess I’ll have to go earlier to bed…
KATE, 14 I know most teens don’t like watching the news, but I do. I like to know what is happening
around our world. I also enjoy documentaries, especially about wildlife. I’m very curious
about the way animals live and how to preserve their habitats. Another great thing about
TV is that I can listen to my favourite music and watch the video clips at the same time. I
also enjoy watching live shows and films, mostly comedies. I watch TV two to three hours
a day.
RACHEL, 17 I like TV as everybody else, but now that I’m older I am more selective
about the programmes I watch. I used to watch cartoons all the time. Now I like watching
the news and some game shows like “Who wants to be a millionaire?”, so I don’t
really spend too much time in front of the box, an hour or two a day… Some
programmes are educational and help us to use our imagination, but many are full of
violence. There are also so many soaps and reality shows that make people forget
that there is a real world out there to experience.
