Task 3
I like watching TV shows. It’s a fun activity, but sometimes I watch for too long. I get lost in the shows and they eat away my time. I forget to do my homework and I go to bed late. Then I feel tired. I miss out on time with my family and friends. I can solve this problem by setting times for watching shows. For example, I can only watch one hour of TV shows every day after finishing my homework. Perhaps I could join a club or do exercise instead. Having fun is an important part of life. However, it is just one part of life. We must have fun properly to have a balanced life.
