Role of television: Entertainment or NEWS.

 


Some people believe television is a good source of getting news. While others say it is beneficial for entertainment. Discuss the statement and give your opinion. 

 

This essay is written by BAWA IELTS & PTE Firozpur. We have used our ideas considering the plagiarism policy.


Television plays an imperative role in everyone's life. It provides information to the people. Moreover, it entertains viewers as well. Both roles are vital, and I think that providing information is more important than entertainment. 

On the one hand, television is beneficial to stay updated with the world, since it broadcasts news about what is going on around the globe. Similarly, it is the best way to get access to plenty of news according to a person's taste. Television provides a platform through which one can stay informed with global as well as local news. For instance, I love to kickstart my day by watching the news on my favorite channel BBC World, and it is one of the most efficient ways of getting proper news. 

On the other hand, television provides entertainment to the people as well. One can listen to favorite songs and watch movies on different channels. A person can watch films on channels like Star Movies, HBO, and English Cinema. Besides this, one can listen to songs on channels such as Amazon and Star Music. People love to watch cartoons or various serials on television, since it has an ocean of channels. Thus, people use this technological gadget to enjoy.

To sum up, after discussing both schools of thought, I consider that the former opinion holds more water, since we can watch movies on cell phones too; however, people prefer to watch news on television.

Part - 3 - All Cue Cards

Part 3 belongs to all new cue cards from September to December 2022. We have written the answers on our own except for one topic. Hence, we hold the copyright status of the answers written by us. 1.  Describe an object you find particularly beautiful (For example, a painting, sculpture, piece of jewellery/furniture, etc.). 1. Do   you   think   there   are   more   beautiful   things   now   than  in  the   past? In my opinion, traditional art and sculptures are much more captivating. I think in the past, it was easier for artists to find shoppers in the form of kings and nobles and they could focus on their art without any financial worries. However, today it is much harder to earn money as an artist. The art being made today also reflects that – it is done more as a hobby rather than as a profession and the works produced are far behind those of the past. Moreover, nowadays artists rely on machine work instead of handmade items.  2.   Do you think there are many scenic spots in India

  Fast Food and Break Fast What do you have for breakfast? I prefer to have my favourite food items during the first meal of the day. Usually, I like wheat bread with freshly cooked vegetables like Okra, Turnip, beans and cauliflower. Along with this, I love to take a cup of tea. However, during weekends, my mother cooks stuffed bread for me, and amongst all these bread types, my favourite one is potato-filled bread with curd and homemade butter.  Do you eat fast food? Yes, I do, but once a fortnight, I prefer to have it. It is owing to the bad cholesterols present in junk food materials. In this category, I find cheese burst pizza, garlic bread and white sauce Italian pasta mouth-watering.  What are the different kinds of fast food in your country? Name them. India has an ocean of fast food materials. For instance, Chinese, Italian and American fast materials are the most popular ones in India. Moreover, we have traditional fast foods as well.  The first one is a savoury stuffed pastr
