Is Television Good or Bad？
張強(qiáng)
Television first came into being in 1939， but it did not become common until the early 1950s. Since then， millions of children have grown up in front of the set. Many people now worry about the effect of TV on the young. They wonder if television should be allowed to go on. Many parents wish that there had never been such an invention. Why are they so afraid？ Is television really harmful？
Like almost anything else， television has its good as well as bad sides. It makes us informed of daily news. It tells us product information. It lets us know of the outside world. It provides lessons for learners. And it has brought joy and interest into the lives of the old， the sick， and the lonely. Without it， some of these people would have little pleasure in the world.
Unfortunately， some television programs have been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience. They do not realize that TV programs often show an unreal world. Commercials tell lies in order to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. Children believe them and want to imitate① what they see on TV. They believe that they will make more friends if they use a certain soap——or some other product. They believe that the murders on TV screens are normal and acceptable②。 By the time they are out of high school， most young people have watched about15，000 hours of television， and have seen about 18，000 Dviolent deaths. If they see violent deaths every day， how can they be shocked by murder in real life？
Television has certainly changed our lives and our society. Along with its good points， it has brought many problems. We must find a solution③ to these problems because——whether we like it or not——television is here to stay.

「寫(xiě)法指要」
本文是對(duì)同一種事物的兩個(gè)方面的對(duì)比，即比較分析看電視的得失、利弊。作者首先用一分為二的辯證觀點(diǎn)在第二段一開(kāi)頭給出了段落主題句，其實(shí)也是全文的篇題（thesis），“Television has its good as well as its bad sides.”。然后用綜合分析模式（all of one/all of the other）對(duì)看電視的利和弊分別進(jìn)行了闡述：第二段說(shuō)的是有利的一面；第三段談的是有害的一面。第二段用5個(gè)平行句式（parallelism）講好處；第三段用3個(gè)同樣的句式講壞處，所以，從形式到內(nèi)容均構(gòu)成了鮮明的對(duì)比。結(jié)尾段既對(duì)利弊作了總結(jié)，又提出作者的建議。整篇文章完全是按照“啟、承、轉(zhuǎn)、合”的寫(xiě)作技巧構(gòu)思的。
