听一分钟英文：Television-电视

What do you think? Is television good or bad? I loved it when I was a kid. My eyes were glued to the TV screen for hours and hours. I watched cartoons and other kids’ shows non-stop. It was good at the time, but maybe I should have been outside playing or doing something more useful. There’s a lot of rubbish on TV. There are so many programmes that you watch just because you’re too lazy to do something useful. A lot of people turn on the TV and sit in front of it all day or all night. What a waste of time! I think television programmes are getting worse. Reality TV and celebrity¹ chat shows are the worst. The only good things on TV nowadays is the news, live sport and comedy shows. Plus an interesting documentary² or two.
