Module 3The Violence of Nature

【佳句变换】

It is likely that if there

were no TV，cells or the

Web，many people would

not have a good time in

their life.

However，if I had to

give up one of them，

personally I would turn off

the TV instead of

switching off my cell or

cutting off the Web.

In addition，we can

watch most TV programs

in some other way such as

on the Internet.

But cells and the Web

are more necessary to me.
