Writing a letter to a newspaper/ a letter to the editorThis should still be formal letter, but because it is for the public, it should show your opinion clearly or tellpeople something interesting ornew. It can be direct and feel quite personal-you can use I,we and you. Dear Sir,The Craze for Reality TVAs a student in my early twentiesI am part of a key audience for TV channels. Why then, do I find solittle to interest or entertain me? One trendIfind particularly appalling is the increase in‘reality’TV programmes such as Survivor, Big Brother and Fear Factor,toname but a few.‘Reality’TV shows involve “real” people performing ridiculous and often dangerous acts and generally behaving horribly towards each other. These shows appeal to that part ofuswhich takes pleasure in watching the humiliation of others and Ibelieve that programme-makers are being irresponsible by promoting this. It is demeaning to both the participants and the viewers.Even worse, these programmesare having a negative effect on society, particularly on young people, who no longer feel any shame at watching or taking part in this kind of disgraceful behavior.A nationalsurvey recently stated that one in seven British teenagershopes to become famous by going on a show like this! The average British adult watches 26 hours oftelevision per week. Reality TV is not only a waste time, but it is dangerous. I believe it can and will affect our society, dragging it down into the gutter.It is time we made a stand made against reality TV, in favor of quality TV. How can wedo it? Start by changing the channels
