【修辞版本】 Many people, mostly the aged or retired, advocate that these TV programs offer them an opportunity to fill their spare time with joy and pleasure.“Living alone, I deem TV plays as my sweet cake,” said the granny next door, “I cannot imagine how life could be if there should be a power failure – I can sense no voice or see no one acting”.
However, one man’s meat can be another’s poison! This welfare for retired – TV drama programs – may kill off precious time of youngsters.Admittedly, some teleplays are summaries of claics, say, the Journey to The West, and some are encouraging textbooks, such as My Youth, I Call the Shots.Unfortunately, indulgence in these programs may deprive young students of their chances to read, to learn or to grow, killing their curiosity and creativity.
As to me, I am certainly a big fan of some TV series, but I will never view these programs as the whole picture of my life.I am convinced that all of us, man or woman, young or old, should have a right attitude toward TV series: they are the source of pleasure, but the sources of happine cannot be confined to them.

How to Get Books？（T&T）
1.有人认为应该购买书籍；
2.也有些人认为应该借阅书籍；
3.你的看法。
Guns are to soldiers what books are to students! Indeed, books are an indispensible to any college students.
Since books are an eential part of students’ campus life, how could they get acce to these reading materials, to buy or to borrow? This question has triggered a heated discuion among us.The vast majority of us are willing to own their own books, that is, to buy.According to them, poeing these books, they can read them anytime, take them anywhere, and lend them to anyone without any limit.For some people, however, that is just an unaffordable dream.In their eyes, books are costly and one can never afford to purchase all the books he need.Therefore, they insist on making a full use of libraries and borrowing materials at low expense.
In the aggregate, the former method renders me the freedom to read, though, at a high cost, while the latter brings down my expenses but sets up too many restrictions.As a college student, I am determined to achieve a balance between these two choices.Specifically, I would buy my
favorite books and borrow the rest from either libraries or my friend.
