【参考范文】
The Effects of Television on Communication
There is no doubt that television has greatly changed people’s lives. After its invention, it became an almost indispensable part of most households within the space of just a few days, many families have two or even three television sets so that every member of the family can watch what he wants whenever he wants. In my opinion, this has significantly reduced the amount of time that family and friends spend communicating with each other.
Before the invention of television, people spent their leisure time in more active and social pursuits. They often played cards or other games, listened to the radio together or went out to see friends. But now television is widely available and it offers a variety of program choices that appeal to almost every interest. People no longer have to look to others for entertainment. Also, television can be like a sedative. Studies have shown that watching a great deal of television makes people more passive. Finally, people are simply watching increasing amounts of television. And with two or three TV sets in the house, there is no need for them to even watch it together.
Although television has reduced the amount of time that family and friends spend together, it doesn’t have to be this way. People can make the choice to turn off the TV and do something more active. Or, if they really want to watch TV, they can find a thought-provoking program that they would all like to watch and discuss afterwards.

电视传播的影响
毫无疑问,电视极大地改变了人们的生活。发明后,这几乎成为大多数家庭中不可或缺的一部分,仅仅几年的空间。现在,许多家庭有两个甚至三个电视机,每个家庭成员都可以看任何他想要的时候他想要的东西。在我看来,这大大降低了,家人和朋友之间沟通的时间。
在电视发明之前,人们有空就会做更积极的消遣,并进行社交活动。他们经常玩扑克牌或其他游戏,一起听收音机或出去拜访朋友。但是现在电视很普及,有各式各样的节目可供选择,几乎能让每个人都很感兴趣。人们不再需要别人寻找娱乐。同时,电视可以像镇静剂。研究表明,看大量的.电视使人们更加被动。最后,人们只是看电视的时间变得越来越多。和两个或三个电视机,没有必要甚至一起看。
虽然电视的时间减少了,家人和朋友呆在一起,这并不一定是这样。人们可以选择关掉电视,去从事一些更积极的活动。或者,如果他们真的想看电视,他们可以找到一个发人深省的程序,他们都想看完之后可以一起讨论。
