Memorandum

Dear my friend,

I understand how difficult to reduce watching TV. While we are just sitting on couch or sofa, TV gives us various interesting things such as movies, dramas, news, commedies, and so on. I would not say it is bad to watch TV. However, we have to control ourselves and our life schedule. For instance, due to watching TV too much, people tend to neglect and pay less attention to your workm, like jobs and studies. If I were you, I would control the time to watch TV in this following way.
Solutions;
I would not put TV in my room. I know I am a seducible person. I know my room is the most comfortable place in my house especially on my bed. Once I start watching TV in my room, it is almost impossible to turn off the TV and go back to my desk for my study. That is why I do not have TV in my room. Another soulution would be that I try to avoid staying my house and room. If I come back from school and stay my room for studying, I would think I need ten minutes break and then turn on TV. I am sure it will never be ten minutes break but 3, 4 hours break. In my case, I always study in the library or coffee shop near my school. You should shut down something tempt you in order to concentrate on studying without any disturbance. According to my experience, I used to check a few TV programs I was interested in on TV program list. I decided to watch TV within 2 hours daily. It was very helpful because I did not need to keep searching for TV program I want to watch. "TV program surfing" wastes most of our time kill our important time for studying. Good luck!!!

We closely live with electronic communication such as Internet and Television. In the post war era, the United States rapidly moved into the industrialization and economically prospered . In 1951, color TV was introduced in the U.S. Nowadays, most of the households have at least one TV in their house. Some might have two or three TVs. Our life tends to be influenced by TV.

Solution: set your schedule tightly. For instance, you might find other work or hobby to have funner than you have with TV. Do not have TV in your room. It tends to tempt you and steal your time.

It is very easy to watchig TV without thinking anything. TV makes you leave from reality. According to the survey by Nielsen Media Research, people in the United States watched TV in last season for 4 hours and 32 minutes on average. The reason why American watched TV for a long time is that American has more than 100 channels. They can always find one they are interested in. In proportion to time for TV watching, time for studying is decreasing compareing to that in 1980s. In addtion, bedtime hour for children is getting late and wake-up time is getting late as well. Thus, TV tends to disturb our life cycle. It is time to control yourself and prevent yourself from temptetion of TV.
