Television in modern life

How do people usually answer to questions like "What are you going to do tonight?" or "What are you doing at the weekend?" In other words, how do people spend their free time? Some twenty or thirty years ago the usual answers used to be:

"We're going to the theatre (or to the cinema)" or "We're going to a party" or "We're having some friends round". Now you very often hear "We're going to stay at home and watch the telly!" A first-rate colour TV set has become an ordinary thing in the household today, and a DVD player is quickly becoming one.

Modern television offers the viewers several programmes on different channels. In addition to regular newscasts you can see plays and films, operas and ballets, and watch all kinds of contests, quizzes, and sporting events. You can also get a lot of useful information on the educational channel. A good serial (perhaps, a detective story or a screen version of a classical novel) can keep the whole family in front of the telly for days, and don't we spend hours and hours watching our favourite football or hockey team in an important international event?

Television most definitely plays a very important part in people's lives. But is this a good thing or a bad one? Haven't we become lazier because of television? Don't we go out less often than we used to? Don't we read less?

Questions:

1. How often do you watch TV?

2. What are you favourite programmes?

3. Which is your favourite channel?

4. The average Russian teenager spends about 20 hours a week in front of the TV-set. What about you?

5. Why is TV often called "the window on the world"?

6. Do you agree that television has the power to educate?

7. What do you think of commercials? Do they annoy you?

8. Do you enjoy watching "soaps"?

9. Some people say that television kills conversation. Do you agree?

10. Do you use TV intelligently?
