National TV Turn-off Week

teacher: Excellent Style! Good development of ideas. I especially like your use of sarcastic tone throughout. Excellent In a time when millions of people are starving each year and thousands are killed in war zones, worrying about how much television we watch sounds like a stupid idea. Right? Well, that's what people all across North America are doing every day. In fact, there is a full week dedicated to the cause: National T.V-Turnoff Week.         …

…not my first language.         So, there you have it. Television can educate, entertain, and broaden your horizons. What's more, it can be done in combination with many other hobbies and is relatively inexpensive. From educating our children to baby-sitting them when we are just too tired to cope, the television has done so much for us. So why, I repeat, why should we betray our dear friend by turning it off for a full week?
