American boys and girls love to watch television. Some children spend six hours a day in school and four to six hours a day in front of the television set. Some even watch television for eight hours or more on Sunday. Television are like books or films. A child can learn bad things and good things from them. Some shows help children to understand the news, others show people and places from other countries or other times in history. With television, a child does not have to go to the zoo to see animals or to the ocean to see a ship. Boys and girls can see play, a concert or game at home.
