Living without TV
I found an interesting text at the end of my student's book (we can find it on the page 120 English File Intermediate Student's book). It describes a living without TV and difference that arise between children which family have TV and which don't have it. My family had no TV even video cassette player. Therefore, we missed the whole video era ))) Of course, we known what it is. Occasionally we watched something visiting relatives or friends. I still have some knowledge gaps of the film industry (movies, TV shows, series, etc). I can't say that I'm nervous about it all the time )) But it does hurt my feelings when somebody put on big surprise face and exclaims "whaaaat?? Are you serious? Have you never seen it really?"
Hmmm... Do you really think that everybody must be watched this movie and there is shame in not watching? I guess there is more shame in not knowing thе Newton's second law then not watching some movie))

Hi Мария,
interesting post. I agree - I think people watch far too much TV!
A couple of comments on your English below.
Living without TV
I found an interesting text at the end of my student's book (we can find it - might be better to use 'it can be found' on the page 120 English File Intermediate Student's book). It describes a living without TV and the differences that arise between children which whose family families have TV and which don't have it those who don't. My family had no TV even or video cassette player. Therefore, we missed the whole video era ))) Of course, we known what it is. (Although present tense is OK here, I would use 'we knew what it was') Occasionally we watched something while visiting relatives or friends. I still have some knowledge gaps in my knowledge of the film industry (movies, TV shows, series, etc). I can't say that I'm nervous about it all the time )) - Not sure you mean 'nervous' here. I think you mean 'I can't say I worry about it all the time'.) But it does hurt my feelings when somebody puts on a big surprised face and exclaims "whaaaat?? Are you serious? Have you never seen it really?"
Hmmm... Do you really think that everybody must be have watched this movie and there is shame in not having seen it watching? I guess there is more shame in not knowing thе Newton's second law than not having seen watching some movie))
Great post, thanks for posting,
