Step into the new century, television plays a very important role in people’s daily life. Some people believe that it is a blessing, while others argue that it is a curse to the society, epically to the teenagers. In my humble opinion, television has both advantages and disadvantages.
進入新世紀以來，電視在人們日常生活中扮演了重要的角色。有些人認為電視的產生是件好事，有些人則認為電視是對當代社會的一個詛咒，特別是對青少年來說。在我看來，電視有利有弊。

Television makes people realize what the rest of the world is going on. Before television was invented, people used newspapers, radio to spread the news. But none of this is faster than TV. If somewhere else is having an earthquake, we can know immediately. TV also makes our tedious life more colorful. As to those who retire, housewives, or kids who having their summer holiday, TV has been a good company. Turn on TV people can enjoy the latest films and programs without going to the cinema. It also offers specialized programs such as cooking, teaching, exercise and so on. It teaches us knowledge and broadens our horizon.
電視讓人們了解到世界上究竟發生了什么。在電視還沒有發明之前，人們通過報紙、廣播來溝通傳遞信息。但它們的傳播速度遠遠比不上電視。如果某個地方發生了地震，我們馬上就能知道。電視也讓我們枯燥的生活變得有趣。對那些退休的人、家庭主婦、在家里度過暑假的孩子們來說，電視是個很好的伙伴。打開電視，不用去電影院，就能看到最新的電影和節目。電視也提供特殊的節目，例如烹飪、教學、健身等等。它教給我們知識，擴寬我們的眼界。

Just like each coin has two sides, television is no exception. It can be harmful too. Some of the programs are too violence for teenagers to watch. Fake advertising are full of mid-night programs. And some people complain that TV takes up all their free time, they don’t even have time to go outside for family reunions or hang out with their friends any more. Some of them are so indulge in TV that they become potato couch. Some people say that watching TV is a waste of time.
就像任何硬幣都有兩面，電視也不例外。它也會給人帶來害處。有些電視節目過于暴力不適合青少年觀看。虛假廣告充斥著午夜節目。有些人抱怨到電視占用了人們過多的自由時間，他們都沒空參加家庭聚會或者與朋友們一起外出游玩了。更有甚者過度沉迷于電視，以至于變成了“馬鈴薯沙發”�？措娨暫喼本褪抢速M時間啊！

To sum up, we should hold the right attitude toward TV. We should use it in an appropriate way, shorten the time that we spend on TV, only watch the meaningful programs. Only in this way can we benefit a lot from it.
總的來說，我們應該對電視持一個正確的態度。正確的使用電視，減少看電視的時間，只看那些有意義的節目。只有這樣，我們才能夠從中獲取好處。
