There is one statement you don’t have to use. a) My child has no time limit for watching television. b) My child prefers real events and activities to those shown on the screen. c) My child watches the programmes I choose. d) My child chose his career watching television. e) My child learns so many things watching television. f) My child’s choice of TV programmes is under control. Текст аудирования: Parent 1. My son doesn’t spend much time before the screen. He is very much interested in sport but he seldom watches football matches or other games on TV. Instead every weekend he goes to the stadium with his father or his friends. Very often he himself takes part in sports and games. Sometimes he watches matches and games at the stadium. He prefers them to television. Parent 2. In my opinion television helps our children a lot. It helps them to develop. You can see so much, you can meet so many interesting people, you can get so much important information. Watching different talk shows and other programmes they understand that the world they live in has a lot of problems. Television helps children to get adapted to the modern world. My daughter watches television a lot. Parent 3. I always let my son watch television if he wants to. First, television keeps him busy and quiet. Then, he doesn’t ask me his endless questions and I can read a book or do some things about the house. There is always something interesting for him to watch with so many channels on TV. Parent 4. I hate television myself. There is so much aggression and violence on TV. The language used in many films is bad. The colours on the screen are too bright, the speech of news presenters is too fast and then I am sure television badly influences children’s eyes. So I never let my child watch it longer than 2 hours a day. We always choose a programme he is going to see together and in most cases I watch it with him. Parent 5. My daughter is rather small and I let her watch only cartoons on TV. Sometimes if there is a good children’s feature film on she may also watch it. But I think that nowadays television does more harm than good. Children can see so much violence and cruelty on the screen. So the less time they spend in front of the screen the better. In fact my daughter watches only those programmes which I let her watch.
