Away and Neighbors but I only get to watch one of them. I sometimes don39。t — I mean I think that39。s really unfair so sometimes I just watch both anyway.Mother: First and foremost, Louisa watches a fair amount of television whether she thinks she39。s deprived or not, she must watch at least 45 minutes per day. And when I39。m not around you know I know the child sneaks in a fair amount more than that. So she gets in a fair amount of television, certainly on the weekends. But I am of the opinion that television, very very very few programs will teach them anything. And I think when a child is under your care for 18 years it39。s the parents39。 responsibility to make sure that the input is of value, and I don39。t think television, much television is of any value at all, I think reading a book and doing her piano lessons are far more valuable than watching crummy American soap operas.Questions for memory test:1. How many TV plays are mentioned?2. For how long a time does Louisa watch TV per day?3. Does Louisa try to get more time to watch TV?4. Which activities does Louisa39。s mother think are farmore valuable?C My parents gave me a lot of free time. After dinner, during the week when I was say even 15 years old they would let me go out until ten o39。clock and they would never ask where I went. I would smoke cigarettes and drink beer, at 15 years old I would hang out in the ... in the local pubs and these were type of things that I don39。t think were too good for me at that time. I think my parents should have, you know, maybe at least showed an interest as to where I was going. They never even asked where I was going and they, they gave me a lot of free time, and I think that they, they felt that this was a thing that was being a good parent. But I think that teenagers are very naive, and I was as a teenager very naive, and I think I could have used a little more direction from them. These days a lot of parents think they should be lenient with their children, they should let them grow and experience on their own. And I think that39。s what my parents were doing, I think there39。s a Biblical saying Spare the rod, spoil the child and I think that really applies. And I think you need to direct especially young people. They can be thrown into such a harsh world, especially if you live in a city. I lived in a very small village and it was still a rough crowd that I found in that village. And my parents never asked questions, and if they only knew they would be shocked.Statements:1.
