Nor should we forget that we do not live to watch TV——there are many more important things for us to do.
About Tv ads 关于电视广告
Nowadays advertisements are very common. Whenever you turn on TV, you are likely to see ads. These ads inform you of the many different sorts of up-to-date products on the market. But it often occurs while you are absorbed in watching a wonderful film on TV, these ads interrupt you from time to time, making you quite annoyed.?
As for me, I am in favor of TV ads because most of them are interesting and informative. But there is no denying that some TV ads are tedious and boring. So I feel TV stations control the quality of ads and make them attractive and more enjoyable.

However,we also find advertisements a waste of time when we don?t need them,for example,when watching TV programs.To make things worse,some advertisements are misleading and cheating.Furthermore,huge advertising expenses are shared by customers,which seems to be unfair.

Advantages and Disadvantages of the mobile Phone 移动电话的优缺点 The mobile phone has influenced our life in many ways. There are two points of view on the use of mobile phones.

About Self-study 关于自学
As adult students in Chuzhou TV University, self-study becomes very important. As for me, there are several pieces of tips of self-study.First, I always make a study plan in the beginning of a new semester. Second, preview every unit before the lesson. Third, try to finish the homework after class. Fourth, go over what I have learnt in class regularly at home. Without review, you will absolutely forget what you?ve learnt as quickly as possible. So reviewing is helpful in understanding and memorizing what you?ve learnt.
