fun and meet people who are funny? Probably. But it does not always happen. Why? There are several reasons. Firstly, life is not a TV show. Secondly, people are easily tricked by advertisements. And thirdly, people do not always take time to appreciate the things around them.TV shows often show us people who live an unrealistic life. The characters in soap operas are beautiful people who often do not have to work or worry about their studies or work. They drive big cars, live in big houses, and spend their time worrying about who they are in love with. People who live in the real world also have problems with relationships, but their problems are seldom so exciting.Another problem is that people are often tricked by advertisements. When you look at an advertisement that is trying to sell a new car or a puter, it always looks better than that in real life. Have you noticed how cars are always shown on an empty road in the country? Some advertisements tell the truth but some don’t. Some advertisements can even be confusing or misleading. Sometimes the picture in an advertisement looks a lot better than the real thing. People buy what they see in advertisements, thinking that these things will improve their life. Often advertisements can lead them to buy something they don’t need at all.However, your life isn’t so interesting as what you see on TV, but does this mean that your life has to be dull and boring? No! A popular proverb says that we should take time to smell roses. This means that we should learn to appreciate the little things in life, like the taste of well–cooked rice and the sound of gentle music.1.
