Students like us keep watching television and forget everything. A:You can see programs about plants, animals, different places, history. We can learn so much. B:Yes, but most people watch only songs and dance. They get no knowledge. A:But that is not the fault of television programs. It is the people who do that. B:Well, I think television is to be blamed. Too much television can be bad for the eyesight. A:My family sits together to watch television. B:But don't you think people watch television and don't talk to each other?

"A Hi, Sukho. Did you hear that we are going to have only computers to teach us? B Really? Teachers will go? That's bad. A Why? I think it's great. Just think. Computers will be such fun. B No. I like it when teachers are around. They teach us much than just subjects. A But each one of us can learn as many times as we like from a computer. Play, repeat, play, repeat. Wow! B Teachers should be with us even if we have computers. Who will guide us? Who will tell us what is right or wrong? A With computers, we can try answering as many times. There is no right or wrong. Only learning. B Yes, computers can bring wonderful learning. But a teacher is our guide too. A We should discuss things more often. We can tell each other what we think!"
