[PhL9r]

hello community,

http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic46003.html#toefl_essay_sample_why_movie_tv_are_so_popular_over_the_world

According to this topic I wrote my first essay.
If you give some feedback, I would be quite grateful.

Since television had been developed in the twentieth century people all over the world have been convinced by the usefullness of it. Nowaday many people can not imagine to live without television. A life with modern media not only results in many advantages but also contains several risks. However, its sure that television will get more and more popular all over the world.

In my opionion televison is so popular because it brings the world into the livingrooms of people.
No matter if you want to know what actually happens in the USA or you are interested in the asian currency market. On Television you will find every information you are searching for. Moreover you can learn something about other cultures or philosophies of live. Television makes you feeling that the thinks happen in front of you.

In addition to that point i think television makes people trying to flee from their own problems and boredom. They can identify with the actors roles and dont have to think about their own live. If they are bored by their live, they can see films about interesting and exciting characters. They do not have to act by their own, they can watch acting other people. Moreover, they are not responsible for the consequences of their actings. Watching television all the day is not only an entertaining and easygoing way of life but also is unhealthy and makes you feel useless.

Television influences our live in several ways. It increases the possibility of getting informed of all things happening in the world. It can be very usefull and entertaining. On the other hand when people watch tv all the day it is possible that they try to flee from reality. It is neccessary to enjoy it carefully.
