The television is one of the most important pieces of technology that has ever been  could be created. It helps us to know about events what is happening all around the world and also gives us some entertainment to pass the time a good time at home. However, the television has had an impact on our communication with family and friends. In my opinion, the television has caused problems in the relationships that we have with family and friends.

The first reason, in my opinion, is happening with people is that people they do not want to spend time with their family. The Last week, for example, my cousin Pedro, decided to stayed in his room to watch some program on TV. All his family members was were gathered in his house but he did not want to share be with us, because he wanted to watch  see the TV. His father was angry with him and he punished him. My cousin did not understand why he was punished him, so he ran away escaped from home. It was a really sad moment for the entire family. We found him the day after he disappeared.

The second reason, Secondly, I think is because people spend too much time watching television, instead of spending passing some time with the family or hanging out with friends. For example, I remember that Carlos, one of my best friends, did not want to come with me to when I told him to go out with me to buy an ice cream he did not want to, because there was a TV show that he wanted it to watch see. I told him to watch it on the Internet later but he said he'd prefer to watch it on live action. I was so mad with him that I stopped taking to him for a while.

The third reason, Lastly, I believe that teenagers and children stay up late at night watching television, so if when they wake up early they're usually are in a bad mood humor or otherwise they wake up late. Due to this, As a result, they are rude talk  in bad attitude to family memebers his family and friends or if they wake up late they do would not have the time to share some time with them. I remember when I was younger I also woke up late because I went to bed late as well. So, when I woke up my dad and mom were working already.
For those three reason I think television has caused causing a lot of  communication problems in the communication with family and friends to a lot of people. Due to the fact they spend a lot of time watching TV and cannot share with them. They stay watching Television instead of hanging out with friend, share with family in a family reunion or wake up late or in a bad humor.

This is a really good essay, and I agree, television presents many very serious  problems for society!

The television is one the most important inventions that could be created. It helps us to know what is happening all around the world and also gives us some entertainment to pass time at home. However, the television has had an impact in our communication with family and friends. In my opinion, the television has caused problems in the relationship that we have with family and friends.

The first reason, in my opinion,  is that people now want to spend less time with their family. Last week, for example, my cousin Pedro decided to stay in his room to watch some programs. All his family members were gathered in his house but he did not want to be with us, because he wanted to watch the TV. His father was angry with him and he punished him(this is a story from the past so verbs have to be in the past). My cousin did not understand why he punished him, so he ran away (it is more colloquial to say 'run away from home. Escape sounds more like he is in a prison and there were things stopping him leaving) from home. It was a really sad moment for the entire family. We found him the day after he disappeared.

The second reason, I think is because people spend too much time watching television, instead of passing time with the family or hanging out with friends. For example, I remember that when I told Carlos, one of my best friends, to go out with me and buy ice cream he did not want to because there was a TV show that he wanted to see. (I'm sorry but i have no idea how to explain why this sounds more natural ) I told him to watch it on the internet later but he said he prefered to watch it on live action. I was so mad with him that stop taking to him for a while.

The third reason, I believe that teenagers and children stay up late at night watching television, so if they wake up early usually are in bad mood or they wake up late. Due to this, they talk with a bad attitude to their family and friends or if they wake up late they would not have the time to with their friends or family. I remember when I was younger I woke up late because I went to bed late as well. So, when I woke up my dad and mom were working already.
For those three reason I think Television has caused/is causing a lot of problems in the communication with family and friends to a lot of people due to the fact they spend a lot of time watching TV and do not have time to share. They stay watching Television instead of hanging out with friends, sharing time with family in a family reunion or waking up late or in a bad humor.

The television is one the most important technologies that could be created. It helps us (to) know what is happening all around the world and also gives us some entertainment to pass the time at home. However, the television has had an impact on our communication with family and friends. In my opinion, the television has caused problems in the relationship that we have with family and friends.

The first reason, in my opinion, is that people do not want to spend time with their family. The last week, for example, my cousin Pedro, decided to stayed in his room to watch something. All family members were gathered in his house but he did not want to visit with us, because he wanted to watch TV. His father was angry with him and he punished him. My cousin did not understand why he punished him, so he ran away from home. It was a really sad moment for the entire family. We found him the day after he disappeared.

The second reason, I think, is because people spend too much time watching television, instead of spending some time with the family or hanging out with friends. For example, I remember that Carlos, one of my best friends, did not want to go out with me to buy an ice cream when I told him to, because there was a TV show that he wanted to see. I told him to watch it on the internet later but he said he would prefer watch it live. I was so mad with him that I stopped taking to him for a while.

The third reason, is that teenagers and children stay up late at night watching television, so if they wake up early they usually are in bad humor or wake up late. Due to this, they talk rudely to their family and friends or if they wake up late they would not have the time to share some time with them. I remember when I was younger I woke up late because I went to bed late as well. So, when I woke up my dad and mom were working already.
For those three reason I think Television has caused a lot of problems for communication with family and friends for a lot of people. Due to the fact that they spend a lot of time watching TV and cannot hang out with them. They stay up watching television instead of hanging out with friends, visiting with family at a family reunion and wake up late or in a bad mood.
