TOPIC FOR EASY
1. Advantages And Disadvantages Of Television
Nowadays many people all over the world spent most of their free time watching television; but since its
appearance, television has brought to man many advantages as well as disadvantages.
First, television plays an important role in our daily activities: it keeps us informed of all current affairs in the
world. Events through television are more vivid than those through books and magazines.
Second, television helps us enrich our spiritual lives. Our knowledge is broadened in many ways. Through
language teaching programs, we can learn the language we like such as: English, French, German, Chinese,
Japanese and so on. We can become skilful and clever at doing jobs, making cakes or arranging flowers through
practical courses taught on television.
Finally, television is a source of recreation. Humorous stories and funny films bring us minutes of relaxation after
a hard day’s work. For me, sitting comfortably in an arm-chair to watch an international football match on
television is more interesting than having to queue for tickets at a crowded stadium.
Apart from its advantages, however, television also brings lots of disadvantages to viewers too.
First, television viewers gradually become passive in their action. Television may be a splendid media of
communication, but it prevents us from communicating with each other or with the outer world. The world seen
through television is only the restricted one: It separates us from the real world.

listen to their advice. Thus, in the long run, we can get over our defects and weakness.
In conclusion, the saying: “Failure is the mother of success” can serve as a guide for those who show pessimism
after their failures and always surrender themselves to obstacles and difficulties.
3. The advantages and disadvantages of money
Everybody knows the value of money. Nothing is more powerful than money.
In fact, if we have no money, we cannot buy goods, clothes and other necessaries we need. Without money, we
cannot go to the movies, theaters or other amusements places.
How can we spend our free time pleasantly on rainy evenings without a color television in front of us? Music
from a new hi-fi can relax us quickly after a hard day of work. But how can we satisfy our needs, our desires and
our pleasures when we cannot afford to buy them?
Thanks to money we can improve our spiritual activities easily. We can go to any schools, any universities we like
to further our knowledge. If our parents are wealthy and powerful we may be sent abroad to study. Moreover, we
can enjoy pure happiness by contributing our money to Charity funds to help the poor, the wretched and the
victims of other disasters.
But money not only brings us the good but the bad as well. This accounts for much of the wickedness in the
world. The rich often depend on it to oppress the poor and millionaires sometimes treat their servants with great
cruelty. Many young people, being purse proud of their parent’s wealth and richness, neglect their school
activities, always play truant and indulge themselves in alcohol, gambling and debaucheries. They often commit
suicide after playing ducks and drakes with all their parents’ fortune. Money, in this way, is the root of all evils.
To sum up, happiness does not depend on the quantity of money but on the way how we use it. We should use our
money properly. The right use of money may bring us a comfortable life and a cheerful heart.
4. Importance of reading newspaper
The importance of reading newspaper.
As the name suggests newspapers are a source of news and information. In several respects they are also a
medium of communication among the peoples of the world.
Today there are hundreds of newspapers all over the world. Everywhere there is a keen desire to learn more and
more about the affairs of the world. This is partly the result of the spread of education which sharpens one’s
curiosity to learn about distant lands.
As a source of news, the newspaper is almost indispensable to those whose thirst for knowledge is insatiable.
They contain news on events in distant corners of the earth. Information about such events arrives almost
