Topic 1: Advantages of TV
Nowadays many people all over the world spent most of their free time watching
television; but since its appearance, television has brought to man many advantages.
First, television plays an important role in our daily activities: it keeps us informed of
all current affairs in the world. Events through television are more vivid than those
through books and magazines.
econd, television helps us enrich our spiritual lives. !ur knowledge is broadened in
many ways. "hrough language teaching programs, we can learn the language we like
such as: English, French, #erman, $hinese, %apanese and so on. &e can become
skilful and clever at doing 'obs, making cakes or arranging flowers through practical
courses taught on television.
Finally, television is a source of recreation. (umorous stories and funny films bring us
minutes of rela)ation after a hard day*s work. For me, sitting comfortably in an arm+
chair to watch an international football match on television is more interesting than
having to ,ueue for tickets at a crowded stadium.
Topic 2: Disadvantages of TV
Nowadays many people all over the world spent most of their free time watching
television; but since its appearance, television brings lots of disadvantages to viewers
too.
First, television viewers gradually become passive in their action. "elevision may be a
splendid media of communication, but it prevents us from communicating with each
other or with the outer world. "he world seen through television is only the restricted
one: -t separates us from the real world.
econd, television, with its fascinating power, makes people of all ages sink into
oblivion: whole generations are growing up addicted to the telly. .upils and students
are so absorbed in television that they neglect their school activities. Food is left
uneaten, homework undone and lessons unprepared. (ousewives are so keen on
watching television that they neglect their duties toward their husbands and their
children. -nstead of watching television, we may use the time for a real family hour.
&ithout the distraction of television, we may sit around together after dinner and
actually talk to one another to know and like each other better.
Finally, the evil influence of television on the young generation is inevitable; it
encourages them to commit crimes. pectacles of sadism and violence on television
lead them to robbery, theft, rape and murder.
Topic 3: Modern life is more and more stressful. what are the causes?
"he more modern our life become, the more we think and do. - think "hat is reason
why many people now suffer from stress+related illnesses. tress comes from many
different things and is the cause of many problems in a person*s life. o what can be
done to overcome the problem/ - will discuss the reasons that - feel are most important
for that issues.
-n our live, we have a lot of things to do, try to strive for mastery to succeed in 'ob,
study, family0. tress maybe come from ma'or changes in our life, daily
inconveniences, physical causes.
1ife likes cardiograph, which is up and down. &e don*t know what will happen to/
tress comes to us from the bad news: a lost 'ob, a death in family, or from the change
of environment: high school to university, or the something new: a new member in
family,0 etc
-n the other hand, the causes of stress is daily inconveniences such as: 2rgument with
relationships 3family, friend, boss, co+worker4; pressure or e)pectation from family;
responsibilities; deadlines; test; 0 -t*s not only from the elements outside but also from
physical. &e do much but don*t eat enough food were full of nutrients; sleep less 5
hours. -t is also emotional, feelings such as worry over our family or 'ob, especially
failure in loving, career0furthermore. Even small things such as long waits or delays

Topic ": #eople are living longer now
"oday people are living to be much older than ever before. ome of the main reasons
for this are the improved health care and better nutrition available to everyone.
7edical care is more available to people. 2lthough not everyone can get the best
health care, everyone can get basic health care and advice. &hen people are seriously
ill, they can go to a public hospital and be taken care of. 8ears ago, health care wasn9t
available to everyone. ome people didn9t live near a doctor or a hospital, and others

and other medicines to help cure infections.
.eople are also living longer now because of better nutrition. &e9re eating better and
more healthfully than we used to. "hat9s reduced the number of people with heart
disease and cancer. &e try to eat low+fat foods and eat more vegetables and fruits,
which are now available year+round. -mproved medical care and healthy eating habits
