give arguments to support it. about 100 words.
Television can be an excellent teacher for everyone from very young children to the
oldest of viewers. Television entertains young children with sights and songs. Television
provides company for older viewers who are stuck at home with no one to talk to. New
immigrants can learn English just by turning on the television. All viewers can keep
informed on the latest events around the world by watching the news. While there are
many great things about television, there are also many bad things. Over time, television
shows have begun to show more and more violence, death and murder. The bad language
and profanity on some shows make them unsuitable for families. The number of shows
which deal with sex outside of marriage also shocks many viewers. And these terrible
scenes are sometimes copied by young, impressionable viewers.

the life of another being. Cats also teach children responsibility, and along with this,
children who own a cat learn about independence since cats are quick to teach this.
Rabbits teach children about having babies because as anyone who has owned more than
one rabbit knows, they have a lot of babies. Snakes, rats, fish are also good to teach
