Toefl Speaking Practice - 8

Q: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

A: I disagree with the statement. Taking my lifestyle for example, I can spend my time watching television as little as two hours a day at most. This lifestyle can’t deprive me of the time to talk with my family and friend. Moreover, most people go out for school or work in the daytime so there are plenty of time to communicate with people during a day. In addition, if I watch television for one to two hours, I can get a lot of topics that I can share with my friends and family. So television, on the contrary, enables me to have more lively conversation with people. This is why I disagree with the statement.
