I seldom watch TV. I only turn on the TV to watch a football match on weekends. That is once a week. I am a big fan of football so I watch a lot of football matches. It’s exciting and entertaining to see how players push their limits to win the games. I also enjoy watching movies, especially when I connect my computer to the TV screen and watch movies in High Definition from my bed; it is really enjoyable at night.
我很少看电视。我只在周末打开电视看足球比赛。那是一周一次。我是一个足球迷，所以我看了很多足球比赛。看到玩家如何突破极限赢得比赛是令人兴奋和愉快的。我也喜欢看电影，特别是当我把电脑连接到电视屏幕上，在床上看高清晰度的电影;晚上真的很愉快。
Lately I have tried to watch BBC programmes, because they are all in English and it can improve my listening for my IELTS exams.
最近我试着看BBC的节目，因为它们都是英文的，可以提高我的听力，为雅思考试做准备。
Oh, yes, I really was a couch potato when I was younger. On weekends, when my parents went out to do other things, I was left alone at home with the TV all day long. Therefore, I became obsessed with various TV programmes, including the adverts. I can still remember my favourite cartoons like Transformers, Tom and Jerry, Dragon Ball, etc, which I watched all through my childhood.
哦，是的，我年轻的时候真的是个电视迷。在周末，当我的父母出去做其他事情，我一个人在家看电视一整天。因此，我沉迷于各种电视节目，包括广告。我仍然记得我最喜欢的动画片，像变形金刚，汤姆和杰瑞，龙珠等，我看了整个童年。
Yes, as the techniques have advanced in these years, the TV has also developed a lot. They have become thinner and clearer to be exact. I remember those old TV screens were made with a plasma panel, making the whole TV heavy and big. Then LCD technology and the LED display came out making the TV thinner and lighter so we can enjoy brighter and clearer programmes.
是的，随着这些年来技术的进步，电视也有了很大的发展。我记得那些旧电视屏幕是用等离子板做的，使整个电视又重又大。然后液晶显示技术和LED显示出来，使电视更薄更轻，我们可以享受更明亮和更清晰的节目。
I believe that watching TV has benefited me in some way, as well as bringing me some detrimental consequences. Watching TV programmes had enabled me to broaden my horizons as I was born and raised in a small county and there were many places and things I had no opportunities to experience. But the TV had helped me to see them. But spending too much time in front of TV also made me addicted to it and unfortunately harmed my eyes. So I’ve had to wear glasses since middle school
我相信看电视在某种程度上使我受益，也给我带来了一些不利的后果。看电视节目开阔了我的视野，因为我出生和成长在一个小县城，有很多地方和事情我没有机会去体验。但是电视帮助我看到了他们。但是花太多时间看电视也让我上瘾，不幸的是伤害了我的眼睛。所以我从中学就不得不戴眼镜
