It makes people usually become exhausted and overloaded when the works are up to their ears for a long time. So people in modern society need some means of entertainment for relax, refresh their mind after work. Watching TV is one of them and it is the most popular means of entertainment for people. Although it makes people feel relaxed but is has some advantages and disadvantages.

People can know news, problems over the world by watching TV and it’s not time-consuming because there are some TV channels that specifically provide news. Secondly, people can explore many new things when they watch TV. On some TV shows, people can gain many new things such as customs, festivals, cultures,… of many ethnic groups in the world. Young people can even learn English, Music or IT on TV. Finally, watching TV keeps family’s members always close to each other. After a work day, people with their family watch TV shows such as films, musical shows,… together. It makes family become happier.
Everything has two sides, even watching TV. It has some disadvantages for people. Firstly, it causes many problems for people’s health, especially the eyes. Young people watch TV too much can get myopia, even blind. Finally, watching TV can causes mental problems. When people watch TV shows that relate to horror, scare or blood, it can impact on mental health of people. They will become unstable in their mind and always be scared.
