III. Read the text and mark the sentences as True (T) or False (F).
A study into children’s television viewing habits reveals that children whose parents have high level of education tend to watch less television than children from less educated family backgrounds. The report also suggests that high rate of TV watching amongst children in poorer suburban areas and in the provinces, compared to those living in large urban centres, is often due to poverty and lack of other kinds of entertainment in the area. Discos, cinema, theatre and sports activities offer children in urban centres a wider range of pastime which leads to fewer hours being spent in front of TV. Commercial, comedies and adventure films are children’s favorite programs, while twenty percent of children said they preferred violent films and thrillers.
