Television and the internet are a boon to many talented individuals because it is a big platform where people can exhibit their special characteristics. Even a layman can become popular in these media. I think it is a positive development because many of the talented people who are just ordinary get recognised and

this

will be an inspiration to many others to become successful.

Firstly

, there are many adults who are considerably good in singing, dancing, sports, cooking, mathematics or general knowledge. So, these hidden talents will get recognised by identifying them in some competitions on television or the internet.

In addition

, an ordinary person if found guilty of wrong activities like theft, robbery or crimes

also

get recognised.

Moreover

, these media are viewed by millions of people all over the world,

hence

it is easy for an ordinary person to become an overnight sensation, if they are really talented.

For example

, Sunidhi Chauhan presently a popular playback singer was recognised in an Indian Idol show, where she won the title of

first

Indian Idol, when she was just 11years old.

Secondly

, when

such

a layman can become famous overnight, they inspire many others who may

also

be talented.

In addition

, people who become popular with media for the wrong things, can alert others to keep themselves away from

such

people.

Moreover

, popular shows like Slumdog Millionaire can inspire many ordinary people to dream about becoming rich.

For instance

, a slum boy became a millionaire after winning in

this

talent show.

Therefore

, even the underprivileged become more confident and successful after watching

such

shows on TV. In conclusion, TV and the internet are the biggest platforms for ordinary people to expose their special nature and

this

definitely is a positive development. Not only their hidden talent gets recognised, but they inspire many others to achieve bigger success.

Some people believe that allowing children to make their own choices on everyday matters (such as food, clothes and entertainment) is likely to result in a society of individuals who only think about their own wishes. Other people believe that it is important for children to make decisions about matters that affect them. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Criticisms are concerned that children will be endangered if they are given freedom of choice, while others believe that they will be better equipped to handle consequences in the future of their acts if given such freedom. From my perspective, I opine that children should be allowed to make their own decisions about personal matters.

News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print in newspapers. What factors do you think influence these decisions? Do we become used to bad news? Would it be better if more good news was reported?
In most media houses, the decision of what content is to be broadcasted on TV or printed in daily newspapers lies squarely in the hands of news editors. Criteria and factors such as attention-worthiness, political relevance and sensationalism largely influence these decisions. As it is mostly bad news that fits into these criteria, we tend to get used to bad news because of the frequency of it being broadcast. In my opinion, more good news should be reported, even if it's only for the sake of balance and the psychological effect.

In many countries, people working in sport and entertainment earn much more money than professionals like doctors, nurses, and teachers. Why do you think this happens in some societies? Do you consider it good or bad?
It is true that sportsmen and entertainers are generally richer than professional workers such as doctors, nurses and teachers. This is due to the fact that these celebrities attract a large following and therefore can earn money in many ways. I personally believe that this wealth gap is justified by their hard work and willingness to deal with public pressure.

Reading books keeps a person’s mind active, whereas watching films and television is passive and does not require a person to use their imagination. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Some people enjoy reading more than watching televation because they think that reading gives them lots of room to imagine, whereas watching films does not provide the same. I strongly agree with this view because we are left to ourselves to visualise while reading which is unlike television from which we can see and hear.
