Personally speaking, I think TV has a positive effect on our society. First because, we can entertain ourselves while watching TV. Since there are music played in some programs and also movies and TV series as weill shown on TV. Second , we can be informed by watching TV. Like we can get to know some current events by watching some news program. Finally , we can kill a lot of time by watching TV. Like me , you probably can’t believe it , I can keep watching TV for 2 hours without moving. I think it is a very excellent time killer.

参考答案
Personally speaking, I think TV has a negative effect on our lives. First because you will waste a lot of time by watching it. I remember once I spent 3 hours watching TV without doing anything constructive. I feel like a couch potato who is very stupid watching all those boring and useless program. Second , you might be badly afftected by programs shown on TV like you might be misled by some malicious advertisers. For example, you might think that you can make a lot of friends if you use certain kind of soap. This is ridiculous. Finally , you will become inactive if you watch TV on a regular basis. Because you just need to take whatever is shown on TV, you will be deprived of the habit of thinking. That is disastrous in my view
点评：此答案是说电视给我们的生活带来了负面的影响。并举了“浪费时间， 可能被误导以及变得消极”等三个论据。其实，我们还可以有另一种回答方式，即你同时谈及两方面的好处。此种答案在ETS 的官方指南中得到了肯定。

C. TST (3)

T---transitions First, because, Also, Finally
参考答案：
Personally speaking, it is hard to tell only one side of story. On one hand, I think TV has a positive effect. Because we can be informed by programs shown on TV. For example, we can get to know some current events and we can enrich our knowledge by watching programs offered in channels like Discovery. While on the other hand, it also has a negative impact. For example, we may waste a lot of time watching some really useless programs for 3 hours without getting any useful information. Just as the saying goes : “There are two sides of a coin.”

on one hand 从一方面说

channel (电视中的)频道
on the other hand 从另一方面来说
waste a lot of time doing sth 浪费大量时间做某事
just as the saying goes 俗话说
