Based on the estimation, more than ninety per cent of the family units in the urban countries have at least one set of television (Sharif 1999). According to Leigh (2001), since the first time television was invented, it has enthralled its audience from all generations. This statement was supported by Dr. Thomas Alexander, who said that the television programmes are designed to have a demand of undivided attention. According to the American Time Use Survey (2003) statistics, women and men spent 2.5 hours and 2.8 hours watching television respectively. Many said that watching television gives some bad impact especially to the children as their imaginative skills do not developed well since watching television is a passive activity (Leigh 2001). However, I strongly believe that watching television also have positive effects. This is based on some reasons that could support my statements which are television programmes provide additional information to learn, encourage critical thinking skills among the audiences and refreshes our minds after having a hard day's work.
Firstly, television programmes provide additional information to learn. The television is a good medium of teaching among the students. They are believable to understand more on what they have seen rather than what they have read (Leigh 2001). In addition, news programmes on television also ensure us to access to the latest current issues of local and world networking. Besides, youngsters have more information which allowing them to explore the beauty of the world (Rutherford 2002). They also can share and discuss with their friends on the knowledge that they get from the television programmes about the global problems (Sharif 1999). So, I strongly believe that watching television has a positive effect.
Secondly, watching television programmes encourages critical thinking skills among the audiences. They become more curios about the world around them. This makes them become expert on the cultural identity and the contribution of the other cultures to communities (Leigh 2001). Not only that, from the resolving of the conflict in the programme shown, families can discuss the better solutions that are possible. The discussions help to develop a critical thinking skill which is necessary for learning purposes and social interactions (Sharif 1999). Again, viewing television programmes give a positive effect as it helps to develop critical thinking skills.
Lastly, watching television programmes also refreshes our mind after having a hard work at schools or offices. Young people can forget for a while about the frustration and stress caused by the increasing demands and expectations put on them. Hence, they become more refreshed and ready to concentrate on the other works (Rutherford 2002). So, watching television can help to relax our mind and body thus it proves that viewing television lead to positive effects.
As a conclusion, watching television has positive effects such as additional information can be learnt and the critical thinking can be triggered among audiences. Furthermore, it also refreshes our mind after having a hard work at schools or offices. Therefore, I strongly believe that watching television also have positive effects instead of bad impacts that the people always think and talk about.

Should the Sale of Junk Food in School Canteens be banned?
Junk food is the term that used to describe the food that is to be unhealthy and have low nutritional value. It is being blamed for the increase in childhood obesity (Smith 2005). Based on the statistics from the Health Foundation, (2005) it shows that most of the snack foods such as chips, soft drinks, hamburgers, instant noodles, confectionery and cookies are categorized under foods that have low nutritional values. So, I strongly believed that the sale of junk food in school canteens should be banned as it brings more disadvantages rather than the advantages. Some of the reasons to support the banned in selling the junk foods are as it leads to health problems, contributes to behavioural problems and causes litter problems.
Firstly, the junk food is the contributor to the health problems for children in most of the countries. The ingredients in the junk foods mainly consist of chemical additives which may lead to various problems such as hyperactivity and poor concentration in their study (Smith 2005). In addition, junk foods also cause the weight gain disorder. According to Lin Tran (2005), the consumption of chocolate bars and instant noodles raised the kilo joule intake and hence lead to the weight gain. So, the sale of junk food should be banned as it brings more healthy problems.
Secondly, the selling of junk food is the major cause of litter problems in the country. The litter’s problems are bad for our communities’ image and its need a high cost to cleaning it up. According to the Smith (2005), the school’s canteens that have reduced the sale of junk foods have also reduced their litter problems. Hence the schools can spend the money for other maintenance projects that benefit the school rather that spend for the cleaning purposes (The Food Show 2005). From this, again, I strongly believe that the sale of junk food should be banned.
Lastly, one way to improve the students behaviour is by prevent them from having junk food. To do this, the sale of junk food needs to be stopped. From the article of The Food Channel (2005), the Child Psychologist, Caputo said that reducing unhealthy foods in children’s diet can improve their behaviour. The chemical addictives in the junk foods is the factor which generates the behavioural problems. The teacher of Hill Primary School, Green, said that the students became calmer after lunch after the selling of junk food and soft drinks is removed from the school’s canteens. In order to take care of student’s behaviour, the sale of junk food in the school’ canteens should be banned.
The sale of junk food in the school canteens should be banned as it is unhealthy food for health and a major contributor to the litter problems. Not only that, the banning of the selling of the junk food also believable to improve the student’s behaviour. Therefore, the sale of junk food in school canteens should be banned for the sake of all parties especially students.
