Now TV is becoming more and more important in our life.

Secondly, you may know some famous singers, super stars, scientists and so on.

What’s more, you can go everywhere by traveling programmes. If you like traveling very much, but you have to work on weekends or holidays, you must be very sad. And now turn on your TV and it’ll take you to anywhere.

But watching TV is not always good for us. For example, watching too much TV is bad for our eyes, especially for children and students. Some students may keep on watching TV so that they don’t like studies.

Possible vision:

The “Sunshine Sports” program is warmly welcomed in our school. Nearly all the students have taken part in it. Most students are interested in playing sports. They think they have lots of fun. Many students are happy with skipping. They believe it really keeps them healthy. A few students feel relaxed while taking a walk. They find it good to enjoy fresh air instead of staying in the classroom. However, a few students are still worried that there is not enough room on the playground and they may not have enough time to finish their homework.

No matter what students think about the program, all the students like the idea which is to make them happy and keep them fit at the same time. 
