Tv, could you do without it?
We all love televisions. Televisions became our part of life, and I mean a big part of our life. So, can I live my life without a television? My answer would be yes. I used to live in a university dormitory and we did not have a single television. It seems little bit cruel. However, it is not so hard living without a television. People say without a television, we can't watch CNN, MBC News, and all those 'current event' reporting programs. Therefore, we will not learn anything about the world and what is going on. However, that is not true. We got internet news articles which can help us anytime and anyplace.
There are lots of entertainments to watch in television. So without a single television in our life would be very boring. However, to be honest, television is a box that makes people stupid, so, in Korean, we would call it a stupid box. Entertainments showed on televisions these days are not very fun neither interesting. All they show to us are an idol star talking, singing, and dancing. I do not get what is so fun about that. I have my own favorite programs too, but even in that case, I can download it by using web-hard.
In conclusion, what is a television in my life? It is a parasitic box that wastes my time. Instead of watching CNN, MBC News, 'Moo Han Do Jeon' (Korean famous entertainment show), and etc, I can go outside and play sports, interact with my friends, have a nice cup of alcohol drink, and all those outside activities. So my answer to the question is 'Yes, TV, I could do without it'.

ReplyDelete1. Through the essay, I could feel your strong opinion towards the question - you don't need it in your life. But, your reason is just one, if I am correct. Moreover, that reason is very personal thing, I think people cannot understand the point why you maintain that opinion. Could you add more clear logical basis?
2. You divided your paragraph in 3 parts, which is very good job. But I cannot figure out the difference between 1st and 2nd paragraph.
3. Overall, I like your examples, I could imagine the life without TV from your examples. Keep using your stories in the essay, I am sure it is your strong point!
Thank you for great essay. :)
