Fill in each blank with one, two or three words to complete the following sentences. Television watching influences children a lot. American children often spend from three to four hours a day watching TV. Some of them spend more time watching television than studying in the classroom.

Children can also learn incorrect or inappropriate information from television. If children watch TV a lot, they may have lower grades at school, read fewer books and do less exercise or even be overweight. 1.
