I- Reading Comprehension:
In the past, the choice of entertainment was very limited. But nowadays, there are different
means of entertainment. One of them is television.
Television has already transformed our daily life by changing different traditional routines
and ways of dressing, eating, thinking and communicating. Thus, it has become the most
powerful means of communication since practically every family has a TV set at home. It keeps
us informed about the world news, and broadens our horizons by enriching our knowledge of
other nations' cultures, history, sciences and arts. Moreover, TV provides a lot of entertainment to
people of different ages.
However, TV has dominated all our free time by replacing traditional entertainment and
pastime activities such as reading and playing social games. It has even destroyed family
interaction as there is no time left for family gathering.
