7. You have just read a newspaper article called Why TV is bad for us. Write a formal letter to the editor. Give your opinions on these points.

Dear Editor

I write, because I read your article "Why TV is bad for us" in today's paper.

I absolutely agree that TV encourages us to be lazy, because many people a lot of watch TV, forgetting about the housework.

Also, the TV often gives us a trivial version of the news. When we watch TV, we don't use our brain, and lose the opportunity to draw conclusions on their own.

Very often on the TV show different programs which contain violence. Thus TV teaches young people that violence is always the best answer.

I fully support your point of view.

Your faithfully reader
