There are many channel of information around the world, for example BBC, CNN. This information is necessary to students to support their essay. It also provides them social knowledge.

Second, the channel about science is helpful as well. It helps people explain natural facts, animal world, ancient, and so on. Given when I had a final school exam, I got nine marks in history because I had watched Discovery Channel about Egypt by accident. In addition, another example is my friend case. She is a student of Biology class, and she loves animal, so watching Animal World program is her daily hobby. Her daily work has helps her always stand at the first rank in her class.

Thirdly, TV is appropriate for both adult and child. Child and kid have separate funny and lovely channel. They can learn how to sing a song or how to dance. Moreover, most are interest in cartoon network, so CN is their hobby channel. Additionally, adult has also entertainment channel: MTV, Star Movies, HBO, Cinemax.

They trend toward fiercer.
