Television has a huge influence on our lives．It is one of the most important ways of getting information．People spend part of their spare time watching television,and much of what they learn comes from it．
What we see on TV-movies,news shows,sports shows．advertisements and so on-have increased our knowledge and have changed the way we learn about the world today．However,not everything on TV is true．
Most of the viewers are children．Television sometimes is like a babysitter．It“spends”more time with children than parents do．But it keeps them in the living room away from healthy outdoor activities．They spend less time playing soccer or walking in the park or playing games in the yard．Of course,there are some programmes on TV that are good for children．But there are also some shows which are bad．Children should not watch unhealthy shows．Maybe we can't change what is on TV．but we can choose what we watch．Do you agree?

Dear Sir,
I'm writing to you about my staying at your hotel．My wife and I 1 on Saturday,May 15 and stayed for a week．Though we were treated 2 and found the service excellent,we think there are one or two matters we 3 bring your attention to．
1．We had hoped for a nice 4 from our busy work lives,and your ad said,“comfortable and quiet”．We went to have a chance to enjoy ourselves．However,we were 5 to find that repairs were sometimes needed,but is it 6 necessary to start early in the morning?
2．We had hoped to 7 in your “wonderful pool”．To our disappointment,we found that it was closed for the whole time of our stay．
I 8 you do not mind me writing to you 9 these things,but I would be happy if you could give me some explanations．As I 10 at the start,it is a pity,and your service is so good in other fields．
