[English Practice] Asylum seekers and German Chancellor Merkel

Asylum seekers, Terrorist and German Chancellor Merkel.

As you know, the German Chancellor Merkel said German would not change its willingness to take in refugees.
I'm very surprised by this news and I want to pay my respect to Germany.

I'm sure we have been seeing regrettable scenes of asylum seekers in Europe on TV.
A father giving his all effort to take care of his family, a baby sleeping in a shabby camp, Children watching migrant officers with fear....
These scenes make me sorry and I wish one of the EU countries would take in these people.
But I know the terror attacks in Germany, France, etc make it difficult.
And I know there are more complicated problems on top of this.

Some people say these developed countries like Germany have sacrificed lots to better their country, so they say the refugees should use all their efforts to make their own country be a good one like these in the EU.
They may be saying 'no pain no gain.'.

I can't blame these people for turning down the refugees.
But, my heart says thanks to Merkel, and thanks to Germany!

The Olympics Games

Every 4 years, many people around the world can see the best athletes in the most important competition in the world: the Olympics Games, every athlete's dream. Every competition is amazing, but I enjoy the swim competitions and athletism most, although I remember in the last Olympics Games the male volleyball final it was one of the most incredible comebacks in Olympic Volleyball history, where Russia won 3-2 against Brazil.

I hope these games will be amazing, too.

Even a Good Medicine Can Have Side Effects - about Watching TV

Hello there :-)
I'm currently practicing to express my opinion in English on various topics, and below there is my opinion on the topic. I would appreciate your corrections, especially for grammatical errors and bizarre expressions which are seldom used by native English speakers. Thanks!!

Issue I-2. About TV: Drugged by TV

My opinion

It’s true that some people are quite dependent on TV, and few of them are even addicted to it. But we have to look at the positive side of it. There are many informative programs including news, documentary films, debate show, lectures, and so on. And I also want to point out that we may have the opportunity of “Indirect Experience”, thanks to electronic devices like TV, smartphones, PCs, etc. For example, we can watch Mr. Ramsey’s cooking on screen, getting lovely recipes and useful tips for cooking something without attending a classy French cooking class.
We don’t have to be negative about watching TV just because some people tend to be dependent on it. Electronic devices like TV for surely make our lives more convenient and richer. People who can't control how often they watch TV  might need to consult a psychiatrist, but that is no a reason for the majority of people to stop watching TV.
