Hi ! This is SunGyung and I really enjoyed your writing.
ReplyDeleteFirst your introduction was the most interesting part of this paragraph. This made me think of how much time people spending on watching TV and is somewhat shocking to me. your main point seems to be that people have to reduce their time spent on watching TV and try to manage their time in a better way. Particularly, I love your title which came from the "NO TV" campaign because it represents what you want to say effectively. However, It's hard to tell what's the main point of the paragraph because you put so many sub topics in it. you are talking about passivity of people and about time management, and right after that, about negative effects of TV on our mental and physical facets. Of course, you can describe all these things but it should be much more well organized than this. If you consider this again, your writing would me wonderful !
Hi, this is Youn Hee. Your main point seems to be the harmful way of TV. The first sentence catched me up too. It showed how we spend time watching TV and how much time we waste. I liked that you mentioned about the "NO TV" movement. I liked that you talked about TV's harmfulness by explaining in two examples. But I didn't really catch why you said that people are passive.
ReplyDeleteThen, see you in class!
