My family loves television. My earliest memories are of watching TV with my family. I think we had five or six television sets at home-the bedrooms, the kitchen, everywhere! At least one television was on all of the time.
When I went to university, I lived in a dormitory in my first year. Of course I had a TV, so I continued watching my favorite programs. But several weeks later, I realized I had a problem. My courses were hard-much harder than high school, and there was a lot of homework. Also, I felt stressed in my new environment. I started watching more TV to help me have less pressure. Guess what? Soon I was spending more time watching TV than I was on homework. So I didn’t have a lot of friends. At the end of my first year, my grades weren’t very good, and I was really disappointed in myself. At home that summer, I watched television with my family a lot. At first I thought it was great. But then I noticed something. We talked all the time, but always about TV. Something was missing. Television brought us together, but in a way it also kept us away.
When I got back to university, I made a decision to do better. I walked into my dormitory, and started to turn the TV on. But then an idea jumped into my head: Stop watching TV! Suddenly it became extremely clear: my old friend television was really my enemy (敌人)! It had kept me from getting good grades, and from making friends. I had to stop watching TV. So I did. I gave away my television, and I’ve never looked back. I started doing better in school, made more friends, started having more energy. I don’t know if I’ll continue to have a TV-free life. But if I do watch television again, it won’t be like before. I’m sure that television will never again be a major part of my life.

“Your hair looks great!” “I love your new mobile phone!” “You really did a good job!” These are some popular English compliments you might hear. In the UK and many other western countries, complimenting someone is a useful way to help break the ice and start a nice conversation. It is normal to compliment people for their clothes, hair or taste in general. The most common compliments are on someone’s appearance (You look beautiful!), possessions (财产) (What a fantastic car!), performance (That was a really interesting speech!), skills (You speak French really well!).
If an English speaker compliments you, there are different ways to reply. Some people may say “Thank you”. They may also return the compliment (You look great, too!) or play it down (This shirt? It’s really quite old.).
No matter how they reply to the compliments, don’t be afraid to compliment someone in English. You’ll probably make their day!
