I think television has an positive influence on society. Firstly, it expresses the news all around the world, so that we can know what really happened there outside neighborhood, then we can be more open to the new opinions. This would definitely broad our horizons and help us engage more knowledge.Secondly, TV program such as soap opera and reality show make our life more colorful , we can spare our time to watch them with our relatives and friends. When we feel depressed, this will definitely make us happier.So I think television programs has more positive than its negative.

task 03

Question

Letter in the Centerville College News

The administration has announced plans to acquire a new sculpture for campus. We should all oppose this plan. The university’s poor financial condition led it to increase the price for campus housing and tuition by 15% this past year. Surely then it is in no financial position to purchase such an expensive sculpture. Moreover, just look at the sculpture: several 60-foot long steel plates, jutting out of the earth at odd angles!

• 2.听材料

• 女孩不同意的原因：
