▶ Your Answer: It has become a hot topic in modern society whether television should be used to instruct people rather than to entertain them. Some people may say that television is worth paying for entertainment. However, I believe that people should use television for education. Firstly, television is effective when it used for instruction. Television could be also used for entertainment. However, its entertainment function is almost equal to other instruments. That means, people do not need to use only television to enjoy their time because of other substitutes. On the contrary, the effect of television is conspicuous when it is used for education due to the visualization of concepts. For example, when I taught my nephew history of my country, he seemed not to concentrate on and understand my illustrating. I contrived a new method of teaching; using television. I congregated several films regarding history. When I show this films to him, he focused on contents and said that it is easy to understand because he can see contents directly. For this reason, I thought that television is useful when it is utilized to instruct. Secondly, television for education is conducive to improving the quality of people’s life. It is easy to contact television because of the generalization of television. If television is enjoyed just as an entertainment, it is meaningless to people’s life. In contrast, it would be meaningful when it used to instruct people. In fact, when television emerged at first, it generated concerns about the negative impact of television. This is because people predicted that television is only used for entertainment. However, when its use was developed for instruction, people satisfied with the existence of television and their satisfaction of life also increased. In my case, I use television to acquire several recipes for delicious plates. I believe that I feel happier when I use television for learning recipes rather than for entertainment. Therefore, television should be used for instruction to improve people’s life. In conclusion, in light of the above points that the effectiveness of instruction and improving people’s life, television should be used to instruct people rather than to entertain them.
