二、 Writing （共50 分）
根据所给主题句，完成下列作文。 TV’s Influence On Our Daily Life
1） TV not only presents us a wonderful world, but also brings some changes to our daily life. 2) It is true that TV has the value of giving complete relaxation
3）Now we can see that TV has caused enormous problems along with its benefits.
As is known, TV is penetrating deeply in people's daily life, without which our life will be incredibly dull and monotonous.it is believed that TV has a strong influence on teenagers in their thought and behaviour.
Admittedly,there is a trend that TV involves more and more violences which are commonly seen in its series and films.some people come to worry about the fact that the increasing amount of violent factors have led to some problems among the young.many youth are apt to imitate the violent conducts of those characters in TV,which has resulted in lots of deplorable accidents and tragedies.however,some people believe the TV itsself is not to blame but the society and the people who tend to amuse themselves in this way.
As I see it,I don't want to denounce either the TV or the society,i believe there is something knotty inevitably taking place in the evolution of human society.I think the bad impact on teenagers from TV programs is attributed to not only the programs themselves,but also the way people enjoy happiness,the conducts of commercial and educational walks.
