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 spending 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
work. 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 a recent statistics, teenagers seldom
spend their free time reading books and newspapers but watching television instead.

Air pollution is a cause of ill- health in human being. In a lot of countries there have laws
limiting the amount of smoke which factories can produce. Despite there isn’t enough
information on the effects of smoke in asmosphere, doctors have proved that air pollution
causes lung diseases. The gases from the exhausts of cars have also increasing air pollution in
most cities. The lead in petrol products a poisonous gas which often collects in busy streets
surrounding by high buildings. Children who live in areas that there is a lot of lead in the
asmosphere cannot think as quick as other children and are clumsy when they use them
hands. Ther are other long-term affects of pollution. If the gases in the asmosphere continue
to increase, the earth’s climate may become warmest. A lot of the ice near the Poles may melt
and may cause serious floods.
