V. Fill in each blank with one, two or three words to complete the following sentences.

Television watching influences children a lot. American children often spend from three to four hours a
day watching TV. Some of them spend more time watching television than studying in the classroom.
While television can entertain and inform our children of news and real knowledge, it may also influence
them in bad ways. Time spent on watching television takes away their important activities such as
reading books, playing outdoor sports, doing homework, having family gatherings and developing social
skills. Children can also learn incorrect or inappropriate information from television. If children watch TV
a lot, they may have lower grades at school, read fewer books and do less exercise or even be
overweight.
