What benefits can TV bring people?

Truyền hình có thể mang lại những lợi ích gì cho mọi người?

[POINT]Point

Television can bring educational, social and practical benefits.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

It provides public information, educational content and shared entertainment that can reach large audiences quickly.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A documentary may teach viewers about science or another culture, while emergency broadcasts can provide important instructions.

[EXTEND]Extend

Television can also create shared cultural experiences when many people watch the same event, although these benefits are strongest when programmes are accurate, varied and suitable for different age groups.

Part 3Topic 14 - Media, Music & EntertainmentEasy-Intermediate

What priorities do you think TV stations should have?

Bạn nghĩ các đài truyền hình nên ưu tiên những gì?

[POINT]Point

TV stations should prioritise accuracy, programme quality and public value rather than ratings alone.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

They need reliable news, useful public-service information and should cut down on sensational content that exists only to attract attention.

[EXAMPLE]Example

During an emergency, accurate reporting should take priority over dramatic but weakly verified stories.

[EXTEND]Extend

Commercial stations still need revenue, but long-term trust is more valuable than short-term audience figures, so broadcasters should protect credibility while also producing programmes people genuinely want to watch.

Part 3Topic 14 - Media, Music & EntertainmentEasy-Intermediate

What kind of interactive programmes are there in your country?

Ở nước bạn có những loại chương trình tương tác nào?

[POINT]Point

Interactive programmes in my country include talent shows, game shows, live discussions and programmes with audience voting.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

These formats allow viewers to have a say instead of simply watching passively.

[EXAMPLE]Example

People may vote for a singer through an app, answer questions in real time or send comments to a live programme.

[EXTEND]Extend

Live participation can make television feel more engaging, although producers still need fair rules because audience votes can be influenced by popularity rather than actual quality.

Part 3Topic 14 - Media, Music & EntertainmentEasy-Intermediate

Are these a good or a bad development? Why?

Đây là sự phát triển tốt hay xấu? Tại sao?

[POINT]Point

Overall, interactive television is a positive development because it gives viewers a more active role.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Viewer participation can increase audience engagement and make programmes feel more relevant.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A live quiz can let viewers answer from home and compare their results immediately.

[EXTEND]Extend

The main risk is manipulated voting or excessive dependence on popularity, so interactive formats are best when participation is transparent and genuinely affects the programme rather than being used only as a marketing trick.

Part 3Topic 14 - Media, Music & EntertainmentEasy-Intermediate

What kind of programmes will there be in the future, do you think?

Bạn nghĩ tương lai sẽ có những loại chương trình nào?

[POINT]Point

Future programmes will probably be more personalised, interactive and partly generated with AI.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Personalised media can build on viewing history to recommend or even adapt content for different audiences.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A future drama might allow viewers to choose story directions, while news services automatically produce summaries at different lengths.

[EXTEND]Extend

AI-generated content will increase variety and speed, but human editors and creators will still be needed to protect quality, originality and trust.
