GALUH PRAKASA

                                                  Having a Great Activity
          Television is one of the greatest inventions in the world. For modern people, television has also become an important thing in their life. When people have a free time, some people prefer multitasking rest that is to spend their free time efficiently doing more than one thing at the same time, for instance, we can cook a dinner, watch television and talk to our family. Most people cannot imagine their rest without television. Television is a great entertaining invention. It gives us different knowledge and information. Television is also an efficient educational tool for students who are studying foreign languages. For these three reasons, we can say that watching television is not a waste of time.
          For instance, television is a great relaxation tool. When people go home after they have a hardworking, of course they want to relax. They will turn on their television to watch a funny comedy to make they laugh and happy. In addition, they can also listen to the music in order to give a good feeling for their heart. They can watch movies or sports entertainments to decrease their stressful. TV has a mysterious ability to entertain people all around the world. through watching movies ,sport or music people can get rid of their daily difficulties at works and enjoy themselves .Also children can get entertain by means of cartoons serials such as Mickey Mouse or comic shows like Mr. Been or children movies such as ‘ Alice in the wonderful land’.
          Another example of the beneficial of watching television is that television is a good source of information. For many of us the television is our first or only source of news and current events. Most channels have news updates up to four times a day and current affairs programs which take a deeper look at the news that has affected the world that day or that week. These programs are often family friendly and are sometimes the only form of media available or easy to understand for children or non-speakers of English. These news shows keep people up to date on the outside world it is possible to know everything that happened in a day without even going outside. It allows people to have different kinds of information in easy way. For example, people can get information about health, weather, and technology in the same afternoon. For instance, just by press the remote control. People will get information in different languages and different things.
         The most significant example of watching television is that television is a valuable educational tool for students, moreover students who are studying foreign languages. By watching television, students can train their ability in listening and speaking. Students can learn how to pronounce the words correctly. In addition, they will know about the foreign cultures and foreign traditions. Such channels as, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, History Channel, National Geographic Channel and Travel Channel introduce us historical events, scientific discoveries, beautiful places of interests, distant countries, incredible resources of human body, life of wild animals and other treasures of our amazing earth. Many people who cannot afford university or night courses or simply just want a basic knowledge of one particular subject or event will use documentaries to satisfy their desire for learning.
         In sum, I think that watching television is having a great activity. Television however has advantages as illustrated in this essay. It is not only helps us to relax, but also gives us different knowledge and trains our ability in listening and speaking. However, I do believe that watching television is not a waste of time.
