 Spending
time with your family is very important. Enjoying dinner together
is a perfect way to talk about
your daily lives with your family members. You feel happier if you get along well with your
parents, brothers or sisters. Sadly, however, many families
spend more time watching television than eating dinner with their
loved ones these days.
According to a new study, TV is destroying quality family time in Britain.
Researchers found millions
of British families now spend more time relaxing in the living room in front of the television
than they do sitting at the dining room table chatting about their day.
“Watching box sets has become a popular past time in the
UK over the past 5 years,” they said.
The study found most families spend only five hours a week to eat
with their family members. On the other hand, the average Briton spends more than double
that watching television with their family members.
 More
than half of the 3,000 adults who were polled said the television
was the central factor in their lives.
“Watching the same show with my family gives me something to talk
about with them,” one of the respondents said.
However, spending too much time in front of the television has many
negative effects. Many people
actually treat the TV characters as part of their
daily lives. Some people even start acting like characters on television.
In fact, many families in Korea also watch TV shows together instead of enjoying talking
to each other.
Well, of course there are many useful and fun TV programs
we can enjoy with our family members. But why don’t you turn off the television sometimes
and enjoy dinner with your family while talking about your day at
school? Ask your parents about their days, too. You will be able to understand each
other better simply by enjoying dinner together! |
