Are you a TV lover? Can you imagine(想像) living without TV? Well, you could give it a try.

A group of Americans , TV-turnoff Network, have an idea. From April 19 to 25, they are asking children all over the world to turn off their TVs for one week. They hope children will find more interesting things to do. Maybe they can read some books, or learn to swim,or paint a picture. Since 1995, about 24 million people in the US have taken part in TV-turnoff Week.

TV-turnoff Week says watching TV too much can bring big problems to schools, health and families. They want kids to watch less TV. What do you think?

Bad for your studies

American scientists did a study of 1,300 children. They watched the children for 4 years. They say that if children watch too much TV, they don’t do well in school.

Bad for your health

Students show that when children watch too much TV, they eat more unhealthy food. More children are getting overweight(超重). Overweight children become ill more easily. Watching TV too much is also bad for their eyes.

Bad for family life

About 40% of American families watch TV at dinner time. That means they don’t talk very much when they eat together.

Also, too many violent(暴力) things

An American study says that before a child turns 18 years old, he or she will see 200,000 violent things on TV. Some kids become violent in real life.
