Television: chewing gum for the eyes? | Илона Сергеевна Гудиева. Работа №339717
Молодым специалистам иногда бывает сложно подобрать подходящий материал для проведения качественного, интересного и очень увлекательного урока. Данная разработка поможет молодым специалистам без труда провести урок на тему "Телевидение", а также отработать навыки говорения и аудирования с обучающимися, что очень важно при изучении английского языка. Не менее важным является и то, что вы познакомите детей с правилами гигиены просмотра телевидения, выявите предпочтения детей в многообразии телепередач, узнаете участие родителей в просмотре детьми телевизионных программ.

SCRIPT
WATCHING TV IN GREAT BRITAIN
A new survey shous that millions of Britons spend about 14 years watching television. Nearly six in ten adults spend five hours a day, every day, in front of the box – or 14 years of their lives staring at the screen. The survey shous that women are more dependent on TV than men. And that than a third of British families own two sets.
The survey also finds out about the activities people do while they watch.
Eating is the most popular activity, followed by chatting on the phone and reading a book. And it’s not just soap operas that make us switch on.
One industry expert commented: “TV has always influenced people’s attitudes and habits and with the hundreds of new digital channels we are going to spend ever more time in front of it.”
