Do the negative effects of watching TV outweigh the positive effects?
In the present age, watching TV is an indispensable part of our lives. But at the same time, controversy has arisen whether the negative effects of watching TV outweigh the positive effects. While there are certainly valid arguments to the contrary, I personally believe that watching TV has profound detrimental influences upon the audience. The reasons for this are twofold.
Frist of all, it is an undeniable fact that there is a considerable amount of bogus or exaggerated information showing on the TV programs. For instance, the news of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane, every day you can read different stories about it. This makes it clear that the media did not find out the truth before coverage of the news. This is one of the main reasons why I feel that the individuals watching TV will receive more negative effects than positive effects.
Secondly and even more importantly, the people watching TV indeed pose a threat to our health as it develops our sedentary lifestyles. To illustrate, people frequently spend most of their time sitting in front of the TV along with eating high fat and salt snacks and without doing exercise. Thus, these lifestyles create a serious risk of our health problems. After analyzing this, it is clear that the disadvantages of watching TV outweigh its advantages.
Following the analyzation of the false information as well as the risk of our health. It is clear that the drawbacks of watching TV far outweigh its virtue. Also, I believe that it seems advisable for the people do not spend too much time on watching TV.

Re: pls grade me and give band score. thanks
Just as usual, I tried to write my version.
Television has become an indispensable part of our modern life these days. However, it also raises some public concerns about its potential negative impacts to our lives. Personally, I think the benefits of television outweigh its drawbacks.
It is true that television has some negative effects to us. One of the major concerns about television is that television can be addictive to some people. Some people spend hours in front of television watching TV serials every day. This could be harmful to their mental and physical health. The consequence of this will be even worse while it comes to children because this can negatively affect their brain development. Another problem of television is related to its content. Violent and other unhealthy TV programs are on the increase these days. This could be misleading to the viewers, especially children.
On the other hand, television usually severs people in good ways. Firstly, people get information from television. Even in this day when the Internet has become extremely popular, television is still the most important source of breaking news for most people. Secondly, television is an entertaining terminal by which people can spend some quality leisure time. For example, watching sports games is a great pastime on weekend for many adults. Lastly, television can be educational to many people. Nowadays, there are plenty of educational TV channels available from which people can learn new knowledge. For instance, many children learn about wild animals and plants from National Geography.
To sum up, while I accept that television could be harmful to some people, I believe the overall benefits of television far outweigh its drawbacks.
