Many people like to watch TV. Watching TV is one of the most important activities of the day. TV brings the outside world closer to people’s homes. Some people say the world is smaller than before because of TV.

What’s going on in the other countries? How do people live in places far away? Is there a good sports game somewhere? What’s life in the deepest part of the sea?
