<p>Hey everyone!
I know that the previous essay matched the exact scenario as described in some sample essay but here’s the actual stuff i wrote tonight on my on in about 18.34 minutes. i am just practicing for my SATs. this is not a personal essay or anything. just a practice essay. Check it out!</p>

<p>Question: What are your thoughts on idea that television has turned out to isolate people instead of bringing them together?</p>

<p>Television is a must-have for nearly everyone. It has brought our world and our lives closer. It s a s marvel of an invention which has been one of the most common, important and essential electrical appliances of all time. It is the most east and informative device available on the planet. Whether for watching the news, movies, soaps or listening to music or even playing games, it is a much required appliance for all.</p>

<p>Television brings people together. It portrays an important part, for having fun; either with friends or family. Whether its watching the news with family, watching movies with friends, or even enjoying a video game with a brother or sister. Televisions seem to have the power to bring people closer, to have fun and enjoy life’s priceless moments.</p>

<p>Televisions may definitely seem to bring people closer on the surface level, as we tend to see it, but on the negative side, it also has a lot of bad effects. The most common effects of televisions are on school children. Researchers say that television is one of the core reasons for school children being unsuccessful in school. Not only school children, adults also tend to be more unsocial and less outgoing because of televisions. They sit at home, lying helplessly, watching television, acting like they have no work to do at all. Also, some of the movies shown on television are very violent. People try to imitate such violent behavior and crimes, which lead to devastating effects on their lives and the society. Hence, watching television also does a lot of bad.</p>

<p>Everything has its pros and cons. It may seem that television has a lot of negative aspects than its positive ones. But I feel that the television is more of a ‘good-guy’, rather than a ‘bad-guy’. By minimizing its effects through active prevention, the television tends to be of very good use; particularly in the field of information, entertainment and education. If it is taken care to see that it is utilized in the best way, it can prove itself to be of overwhelming importance. Therefore, televisions have turned out to be of great help to bring our world closer.</p>

<p>i felt like its not properly addressing the topic…which asks you to discuss whether TVs have isolated people or not. i had an impression of you talking whether its good or bad…(thats my view !!!)
:)</p>

2423

<p>well it has asked if tvs have isolated or brought people together. so i’ve focused more on the ‘bringing together’ part.</p>

2424

<p>@duke, #2418 was intended for you…was late in responding so all the posts in between made it sound like coming from nowhere…I was trying to tell EDII is a great opportunity since all of us feel any of the colleges in our list are really worth going to ;D</p>

2425

<p>@pinkfloyd4life…your first paragraph doesn’t address the question clearly…and the remaining is more focused on “is tv good or bad” as amrikanepali said…focus more on the topic (one reason some of our essays go bad is because we know so much of the topic that we can’t filter our what is needed for the specific purpose…you know about the violence and crimes in tv but what good does it do to the topic at hand?)</p>

2426

<p>hey i got mail from williams…guess what?</p>

<p>(just kidding)</p>

2427

<p>@pinkfloyd4life
dude…DO NOT make the mistake of writing an essay like u did a few pages ago…it was EXACTLY like the sample essay in collegeboard!..if u do that, im sure u know u’ll be charged with plagiarism (if noticed by the essay checkers) and that would mean serious problem! (a zero on the SAT’s!)…
not saying that if examples come to match, it’d mean copying…its just that the previous essay was sooo obviously like the sample one…that should be SERIOUSLY avoided!</p>

2428

<p>hey… take a break new moon is on Jai Nepal this monday…</p>

2429

<p>@stag, &Schofield: all the best… all the best… you both get in then i’ll use you all’s supplements!!! :p… <em>bottom line: I don’t want to write anything MORE!!</em></p>

<p>@Sarbaraj101: Sorry dude! I know what its like :(… but its not your 630… there are just many things going on and we can never really know what EXACTLY they are…</p>

<p>@everybody: ED2??? ED2??? lets start making the list… Mine is Trinity…</p>

2431

<p>new moon = one way ticket to boredom hell!!!</p>

2432

<p>I agree. Except the part where Jacob turns into a wolf. That part is cool.</p>

2433

<p>new moon = one way ticket to boredom hell!</p>

2434

<p>eh sorry for the double post… but i guess it would just help to emphasize the fact …twilight = new moon = one way ticket to emo torture, boredom n what not!</p>

2435

<p>I feel like Twilight/New Moon accomplishes what it tries to. It makes people either hate it or love it, and that kind of passion is a compliment either way. Let’s all just ignore it instead, lol.</p>

2436

<p>@3333

I will tell u those no-clash ones where u must apply, but even to get those names is difficult (u know what i mean)… :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :p. Hah…still a day left.</p>

2437

<p>this is gonna be a long a day!..</p>

2438

<p>If no acceptance, each day after that will be the shortest day…the remaining essays will take eternity to get completed.</p>

<p>These college supplements…still a long way to go.</p>
