W：What do you think of TV? I think it is a false god, a dangerous “idol” which harms our society.
M：How can you say that? You say this great modern invention harms us?
W：Think of all the time we waste watching the advertisements instead of doing something useful! And there is no time to exchange family news or talk together.
M：I’m afraid I can’t agree with you. Think of all the educational programs. We can learn French, Japanese and lessons on other subjects. Think of how useful these could be. And TV keeps the family together. Instead of going out drinking and dancing, we stay at home and watch TV, and that saves money too.
W：But there are other points too. We don’t have to do anything. The entertainment is provided for us. We just sit there passively— not like learning to paint or draw or play tennis when we’re active. In my opinion, reading books is much more educational than the box. We can’t go through life as spectators.
M：Reading and watching are two sides of the same coin. The pictures we see on TV can illustrate or bring the things we read to life. And from TV, we can learn so much about the world around us. We can be “armchair travellers,” and broaden our mind with the help of a TV set.
W：Well, are we arguing too seriously? Let’s relax and have some tea.
M：Yes, on this point I fully agree with you.
