TV is very popular in the world today. It presents a vivid world to us. We can watch exciting football games at home or “travel” to Beijing. After a full day’s work, we can relax ourselves by watching TV. Some entertainment programs can really help us to have a good time. They can refresh our mind and give us a new way of life. And we can also learn something from these kinds of TV programs.
However, watching TV too much can be harmful. It hurts our eyes and wastes our time. Some people will feel terrible after they watch TV for a whole night, because they do nothing that evening. If there is a program you like in the evening, maybe you will stay up late to watch it. So the next day you will get up late and have no energy for a whole day bleary-eyed（睡眼朦胧的）.
In my opinion, we should watch some TV programs. But we should not spend too much time on TV.

In October 2012, I joined an organization to volunteer to work in Thailand. When I arrived in Thailand, I thought I would be taken to an orphanage（孤儿院）. However, I was told that I had to go to the place where I would live by train alone. And then I knew that my job was to teach English in a school instead of working at an orphanage.
The next day I went to the school and met the kids I would teach. In the classroom, the kids looked at me, saying nothing. No one could speak English. But from their eyes, I knew they were really nervous to learn English, It seemed like a big challenge for me, but that was just what I wanted.
Although I loved the kids and the challenge, my life in Thailand was quite hard at first. I was alone and there was nobody I could talk to. However, I didn’t give up. If I had been afraid of difficulties, I wouldn’t have traveled all the way from England to Thailand to be a volunteer. Little by little, I learned some Thai（泰国语）and started to fall in love with Thailand. Every time I saw the kids’ pleasure of learning English, I was happy and felt that what I was doing was really worthwhile.
