參考答案（One possible version）

Television

Our life has been greatly changed by many important inventions. Television is one of them. It brings us much information, therefore it is a popular source of entertainment.
If you want to see a play or watch a match, you needn’t take the trouble to wait for a ticket. With a television, you only need to press the button, choose the right channel, and then you can enjoy yourself to your heart’s content. Besides programmes of entertainment, televisions also provide us with the latest news all over the world at home. Without stepping out of your room, you can be well-informed and keep in touch with the rapidly changing world.
TV also helps a lot with our study. If you want to learn something, you can turn to some channels that provide many kinds of study sources. All you need to do is to find the right channel and sit down in front of the TV set. The teachers on line will teach you whatever you can learn at a real school.
Everything has its two sides. Television brings us not only knowledge and entertainment, but also “junk food” as well. Those films about violence and sexy attacks always mislead the young students. And sometimes people waste too much time in front of the TV set, ignoring what is more important in their lives.
So whether TV is good or bad to us depends on how we use it.
