Some people say that all popular TV programs should aim to educate viewers about important social issues. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

While
I believe that
TV
programs
have a significant role to play in educating audiences about critical social matters, it may not be necessary that all channels have
this
primary aim. The extent to which
programs
should focus on education depends on their genres and purposes. On the one hand, there is a place for
TV
programs
that are purely meant for entertainment and escapism. In fact, not every
program
needs to carry a heavy social message.

have the power to inform, increase public awareness and provoke topics on politics, environmental problems and social justice. To illustrate, a Vietnamese

named "A Minute of Vigilance" re-enacts millions of real crimes, including scams, robbing and even murders, helping audiences to have a deeper understanding of criminal activities and the motive behind each case. Thanks to

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.
