　　When friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us that they are in a hurry and looking at their w atches. It isn’t that our friends are all very busy. It is just that we haven’t got a TV set. People think that we are very strange. “but what do you do in the evenings?” they are always asking. The answer is simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We  certainly don’t spend our evenings staring at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is particularly useful as we always go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and I am always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to music and playing chess together.
　　Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us. We just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends are lost ---no televisions ! So they don’t know what to do.  On such evenings our house is very full as they all come to us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and plays games. Yes, life is possible without television!

　　Can animals be made to wors? Some scientists think that one day animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs. They say that in a film or on TV we may see elephants, or monkeys, dogs, bears, or other animals doing a lot of things. If you watch carefully, you may find that those animals are always given something to eat in return for doing them. The scientists say that many different animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get something to eat in return.
