ADDICTED TO TELEVISION

Chris: Are you satisfied with your new TV set?

Laura: Oh yes, it's great! The only problem is that my children are more and more addicted to

television.

Chris: Yes, I know It's hard to control what they watch now wtlen there are so many commercial

stations and programmes.

Laura: My son can just watch whatever is broadcast for hours! I often have to interrupt him and

make him do something different.

Chris: My son is just like yours, but my daughter has become more critical about the programmes

she watches. My TV set is out of order now and I'm glad that my children have a break from

watching TV.

laura: What kind of TV set do you have?

Chris: It's a small portable one but very convenient.

laura: What's wrong with it?

Chris: The picture-tube has worn out and I can't turn the volume up and down.

Laura: Do you think it can be repaired?

Chris: Well, it will probably be cheaper to buy a new TV sel. Components are easily accessible but

expensive.
