American boys and girls love watching television. Some children spend six hours a day in school and four to six hours a day in front of the television set. Some even watch television for eight hours or more on Saturday.

Televisions are like books or films. A child can learn both bad things and good things from them. Some programs help children to understand the news, and others show people and places from other countries or other time in history. With television, a child does not have to go to the zoo to see animals or to the ocean to see a ship. Boys and girls can see a play, a concert or a game at home.

Television brings many places and events into our homes. Some programs show crimes (犯罪活动) and other things that are bad for children, so parents sometimes help them to find other interesting things to do.

I was a schoolgirl in Grade 7 when Danny came to my school and became one of my classmates. He was handsome with blond hair. so many girls in my class liked him very much. Every day, his parents picked him up in an old car. We all realized he was from a poor family. I had a poor family as well, but I just hid it from everyone. I was afraid the kids in my class would leave me if they knew the truth.

One day, Our teacher, Mr. Sims, announced that we would have a field trip. We decided to go to an amusement park. My classmates were excited. I sat back and looked at them, knowing that my parents did not have the money to send me. To my surprise, Danny stood up and said simply, “I won’t go with you, My dad hurt his back and lost his job. I am not asking my parents for money.”

“Danny, I’m very proud of you for understanding the situation that your parents are in.”Mr. Smis replied. “But the trip is at the end of the month, we have plenty of time to raise money for it.” While walking home from school that day, I noticed three boys talking with Danny. I was a little worried that they were giving him a hard time. But as I got closer, I found they were only discussing how to raise money for the trip.

By standing up and admitting(承认)he was poor, Danny changed my life. I no longer felt I had to lie about my family’s situation. As for Danny, I will remember his courage and honesty forever.
