TOEFL PRACTICE ESSAY

In this era of modernization, a television which produces images and sounds is hardy resistible to ignore. With its capability to expose so much information about the world to humankind, television has become an important part of life. However, some people claim to destroy communication between family and friends. That is due to increase time watching television coincide to the decrease communication between friends and family. I opine that television does gave some harmful effect but I disagree to the statement where television ‘destroyed’ communication between friends and family due to several reasons.

            Television actually strengthens the bond between family and friends. Today, every soul is busy working to support their life and family. So basically we don’t really have much time itself to spend quality time with friends and family. For instance, my father, he works from early in the morning and returned home late afternoon everyday. At night, he is too tired to take us to descent places or go to bowling together so the best we could do is watch television together. That was the opportunity for us to at least have a moment to share ideas and conversations together.

            Besides that, television can encourage us to discuss. Rich medias on television which provide educational channels like the news or historical stories cannot have been simply understood by viewers. With different perspectives of thinking orders, people have different opinion towards what they seen on television. To solve the confusion, family and friend will tend to discuss the topics and indirectly has promote communications between them.

            Furthermore, television allows us to make new friends. The various channels which differ in genres has drawn us to follow the channel we interested most in. For example, I myself would watch action movies with people who are in the same interest. This is to assure that we could share excitement and understanding towards the message the movie tried to give.

            In a nutshell, television has not destroy communication between friends and family but instead encourage it. Therefore, we must limit and discipline ourselves when watching television to avoid harmful effects.
