I think that TV is a good thing because watching it you can learn. For example with the news you learn world's things or with the documentaries of the nature, you discover animals' world. I think that all in the TV can be fantastic! Also, there are cartoons for the children, with this, they have a good time and usually, they learn things, the names of the colors, numbers … it is fantastic for them and their mums. They are aoso good the football matches because if you can't go to football pitch, you can watch the match on TV. Is TV a good or a bad thing?		TV turnoff week, is a week (April 23rd-29th) that everyone, adults, children, schools, churches, or community groups, as families or individuals, turn off the TV to think, read, create and to connect with ther families and engage in their communities. People that participate in this as they don't watch TV, they use the time to talk with their families about the week, ask for their help if they have a problem…. In fact, all families organize activities for the free time that they have. This week is fantastic for the families that hardly ever talk and do things together. So, they will know more things about their family, their hobbies, their feelings… The strongest supporters of TV-Turnoff week are schools, libraries, religious organizations, colleges and universities, environmental groups, museums, cultural institutions and literacy or tutoring organizations. Is good doing turn the TV, because watch much TV is unhealthy and in a long time produced obesity, so when you don't watch TV, you can make sport that is a healthy habit! Specialists say that this week is about saving lives.
But, also, I think that TV is a bad thing because while you are watching TV you are doing nothing, instead of doing sport, running, for example, so specialists tell that TV provoke obesity. Other problem is the study's time, a lot of students watch TV when they should study, so the school results are not good. Also, TV takes time to read books, children hardly ever read books! They prefer stay stucking at TV, playing play station's games. But the worse programmes are soap operas!
