Read the passage and decide whether the sentences are True (T) or False (F):
There's a lot of good stuff on TV, so I watch something most days of the week. It's the easiest thing to do when I get home from work and I’m too tired to go out or read a book. I watch quite a lot of documentaries and the news because I like to know what's happening in the world, and I'm also a big fan of reality shows like Big Brother.
In Big Brother they get real people together in a house for a few weeks, and because the house is full of cameras you can watch how they behave. Sometimes the people are celebrities. As a viewer you can decide which of the people you don't like, and then vote to evict them from the house - I love that!

THE BENEFITS OF TV
TV is now taking on more and more importance in our lives. For many it is now the main source of entertainment and they use it as a form of relaxation after a hard day at work or school. It is a way of forgetting about reality for a few hours. Most people like to watch comedy programmes or game shows, which do not require too much concentration. However, there are also many people who see TV differently. They use it to find out about the outside world, as a source of information. They switch it on when it’s time for the news or when there is a documentary on an interesting subject. Some people even learn history and literature by watching historical dramas or adaptations of novels. A thirteen-year-old girl who was found to have a very good general knowledge and was thought to read a lot said, “But I learnt it all from TV.” This is one interesting advantage of TV that many parents overlook.

Many families live by fishing or farming, and people usually have more than one job. Many families have rooms for tourists who come to visit the islands in summer. The tourists go walking and fishing and play sports. Sometimes they study Gaelic, the local language. And they stay in a 'bed and breakfast' with a local family or in one of the small island hotels. In the long summer evenings, people meet and talk together. They tell stories of where they live and what they do.
The children on the islands go to small local schools. They have their classes in English and Gaelic. Sometimes there are only eight or ten children in one school!
