TV CRITIC
0	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	I am replying to the letter which you published in last week from
00	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	a girl called Jessica on the subject of television. I am not what you
41	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	would call a television addict, and I am agree that there are badly
42	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	written programmes which they contain unnecessary bad language
43	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	and violence, but television does have its good points. Many of the
44	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	programmes which are broadcast on are educational and can help
45	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	with schoolwork. A good soap-opera or comedy it is a source of
46	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	the relaxation for many people. Television also provides jobs
47	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	for thousands of people, so that think how much unemployment there
48	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	would be without it. In general, therefore, I think that television is
49	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	a good thing. There is, however, one most thing I would like to
50	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	complain about, and that there is the amount of smoking in the films
51	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	that are shown on television. Adults are always lecturing up children
52	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	about how they shouldn't to smoke, and yet we see many smoking
53	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	scenes on television. What's more so, smoking is often shown as a
54	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	very 'cool' thing to do, making young people much more likely to
55	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	copy what they see and take up with smoking themselves.
