Ex3 : Read the essay and choose the best answer
In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very useful in
teaching and learning. Many schools have brought television sets, intending to use them
effectively to improve the quality of education; but actually they are rarely used properly in
classrooms. Meanwhile, children spend the majority of their out-of-school hours watching TV
and their typical school days proceed as if television did not exist.
There are some explanations for the failure of television to get the interest of the teachers.
Firstly, the schools that purchased television sets have not set aside money for equipment
repairs and maintenance so these television sets are sooner and later out of order. Secondly
these schools have not found an effective way to train teachers to integrate television into their
ongoing instructional programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the quality of television
and its usefulness in the classroom.
Teachers at the schools work hard for at least twelve years to train their students to become
good readers. However, according to recent statistics, teenagers seldom spend their free time
reading books and newspapers but watching television instead.
