Suggested answer:
Watching TV is very harmful to us. There are some reasons for that. The main reason is that it makes people lazy as they stay at home watching TV all the time. What’s more, it makes people less creative because they just watch other people doing things on TV. Besides, people lack communication — they have no time talking to friends or family members. Even worse, children are easily influenced by the violence shown on TV.
