Exactly 1: TV is our mentor and friend, and it can make us "know what's going on in the world without leaving home". Watching TV can let us know about the world events, instead of being a nerd who "keeps his ears closed to things outside the window and reads only sage books", and it can also let us learn a lot of knowledge that is not available in textbooks and broaden our horizons. For example, TV programs such as Animal World, Lucky 52 and Intelligence Express can broaden our horizons and increase our knowledge. Therefore, we think that the advantages of watching TV outweigh the disadvantages. (Applause)
Anti-1: Besides watching TV, can reading, reading newspapers, listening to the radio and surfing the Internet also increase your knowledge? Some programs teach people knowledge, while others, such as making up films about history, are misleading to primary and secondary school students. If an actor mispronounced his lines, and historical plays did not conform to historical knowledge, students would be misled. As for the messy beauty and medical advertisements, are there few examples of cheat people harming people? What is more serious is that violence, murder, pornography, etc. will also lead people astray and harm people to the road of crime. As the saying goes, "learn well for three years, but learn badly for three days", and it is better not to look at it. (Applause) < P > Zheng 2: Have you ever watched TV? If not, how do you know that TV is misleading? If so, did you get worse after watching TV? (Applause and laughter) I think the other debater is suspected of exaggerating and alarmist. We also believe that watching TV can enrich people's emotions and strengthen emotional communication with people. For example, understanding the stories of war heroes can stimulate patriotic feelings; Watching the growth experiences of celebrities can increase our courage to overcome difficulties; Watching song and dance programs can relax your mood. Especially when you are sick or depressed, good TV programs can make you laugh and help you recover from the disease. In addition, TV programs can also provide topics for conversations in daily life. Different opinions can enhance emotional communication, and different opinions can also adjust the interest of life. (Applause)
Anti-2: What the other debater said has some truth, but have you ever watched TV and argued with your family for the remote control? Are you happy or angry that your favorite channel has been suddenly dialed away? Do your parents agree or disagree when you sit in front of the TV for a long time? (Applause) When you applaud watching TV, do you have the following reports:
Material 1: The Sunday Times reported that the number of children under 14 hospitalized with mental illness in Britain has soared by 5%, and 3% of school-age children in the country have suffered from severe depression. Experts believe that "TV culture" is an important reason for this problem.
material 2: Spain's weekly tribune said that thousands of Spanish children grew up with children's TV programs, and watching TV has become the most important activity of western children besides sleep. Watching TV too much has caused children to dislike activities, be aggressive, lack vocabulary, be psychologically unbalanced, pursue consumption, and decline in academic performance. Children's dependence on TV is just like drug addicts' dependence on drugs, and they can't get rid of it on their own.
It can be seen that watching TV too much is not only useless but also harmful, which not only fails to enhance emotional communication, but also hinders normal emotional expression, making children depressed and their self-control ability decline. (Applause) < P > plus 3: These are just a few examples. Besides, do we students have that much time to watch TV? Please don't forget the fragrance of roses when you are stabbed by rose red. (Applause) Some educators believe that television is beneficial to developing children's perceptual ability and improving the memory effect. Television stunts and sound effects can stimulate people's sensory tubes at the same time. For example, the dynamic characteristics of TV can make a bud bloom into a flower, and a seed gradually grow into a towering tree, giving people a strong and vivid impression, which is deeply remembered in their hearts. Some people say, "A picture is worth a thousand words". For middle school students who are not very experienced in life. The educational effect of TV pictures is sometimes more useful than the well-meaning preaching. (Applause)
Anti-3: Can an old woman become a little girl on TV? But the question is, is that true? Would you rather enjoy the blooming flowers or watch the fake flowers that flash by on TV? As you said, TV can give people strong sensory stimulation, and it is this kind of stimulation that makes people easily intoxicated with the magical screen world. In the long run, they will be far away from nature, and it is easy for people to develop inertia of thinking, become lazy in thinking, lack imagination and get used to accepting ready-made things. If you don't believe me, please listen to the following materials:
Material 3. In the United States, experts and more and more people are beginning to realize that watching TV too much does more harm than good, which makes people passive, lazy and not fond of thinking, and becomes a "spider sitting in a nest" and a "potato on the sofa". An expert wrote in the book: "In the past 3 years, because of watching TV too much, we can't even play.
Material 4: Russian Travel Companion magazine says that children nowadays are always eager to turn on the TV and watch greedily every night, wishing they couldn't swallow all the TV programs at once. Some advertisements are repeatedly played on TV, which makes fascinated children unforgettable. Those concise words are more attractive to children than the poems of great poets. Advertising has become contemporary poetry. Now, primary and secondary school students often quote advertising words instead of Pushkin and lermontov's poems. Isn't this phenomenon caused by watching TV? (Applause) < P > Zheng 4: Did you have a very rich imagination before the other debater watched TV? What about the famous sayings and excellent poems? (Laughter) Watching TV is a manifestation of people's leisure and relaxation lifestyle. Don't you think that sitting on the sofa with a soft backrest and a waist against the sofa cushion is a good enjoyment for people who are tired or who have no conditions to go out? Today, TV has spread to thousands of households. Can you deny that you have no such experience? (Applause)
Anti-4: It is precisely because I have had too many such experiences that I put on my eyes today. (Laughter) I want to tell you with my personal experience that watching TV hurts your eyesight, especially color TV does the most harm to people. Some data show that watching color TV for more than 2 hours will damage your eyesight. People who watch TV for more than 3 hours on average every day are prone to TV syndrome. Medical data show that there are probably more than 5 diseases related to TV. When watching TV, people often lack exercise or eat while watching TV. This is easy to suffer from dry eye, obesity, gastrointestinal diseases, cardiovascular diseases, coccygeal diseases and so on. It can be seen that television has become a killer of human health. We should watch less TV. (Applause)
plus 5: Who told you to watch more? I don't deny that watching TV for a long time hurts your eyesight, but it doesn't have much effect in a short time. Besides, you can take some positive measures to protect your eyes. Do eye exercises, or look outside every hour, or do some housework while watching TV, and so on. (Applause)
Anti-5: What you say is reasonable, but the key is can you promise to do it every day? Does everyone exercise consciously like this? Your reasons are too naive. (Laughter) < P > plus 6: Being unable to do it doesn't mean being unable to do it. Persistence is a matter of perseverance, not method. From this point of view, watching TV can also exercise people's perseverance and endurance. (Applause)
Anti-6: How many people have you seen exercising their perseverance and endurance by watching TV? That's a reluctant statement (Laughter)
Free debate: (Square A): Never seen it doesn't mean nothing.
(Counterparty B): I think you are a little off topic. Our debate should focus on the advantages and disadvantages of watching TV. I support the opposing view. I think the biggest drawback of middle school students watching TV is that it affects their study. The Social Research Institute of the University of Michigan has conducted a research on children's reading and watching TV for more than 2 years: watching TV for one hour every day will reduce their academic performance by ? 6? 15 points, reading an hour of extracurricular books every day, can improve your academic performance by ? 6? Twelve points. The main task of middle school students is to study. We should watch less TV. Watching too much TV will do more harm than good. (Applause)
(plus 2): I don't think your information is quite in line with the national conditions in China. Most of the research materials you quoted are from abroad. How many students in China, especially in rural areas, have extracurricular books? Besides, can reading extracurricular books definitely improve their grades? If you read unhealthy extracurricular books, will it affect your grades? I think as long as we watch TV for too long and choose more programs that are beneficial to us, it is beneficial for middle school students to watch TV, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. (Applause
