In addition, spending too much time on TV is not good for people's health because they just sit there and hardly move.The most important thing is that a lot of people nowadays rely on the programs on TV to avoid the reality. Gradually, they become isolated from the society. sample 2: I think television has a positive influence on society. It's a good source of news. The members in the society can get news easily from News Channels and thus keep themselves informed of what's happening around. Like, my grandfather watches News on TV everyday just to keep up with the latest events. Besides, television can be a kind of entertainment. People can watch different shows on TV such as funny talk shows and soap operas. I have many friends who like watching Late show with David Letterman and some other friends like watching TV series such as Lost and Friends.

Therefore, society actually benefits from TV. 3.what do you miss most about your home when you are away? use specific details in your explaination. - ANSWER- I miss food most when I am away from my home, particularly the noodles cooked by my father.
