Talent Shows on TV
Recently，various talent shows and reality shows have sprung up in mass media. People’s opinions towards them are various. On the one hand, talent shows serve as a perfect arena for gifted people to show themselves. On the other hand, the fad of these shows attracts many people, especially the teenagers to fancy becoming famous overnight, instead of working hard on their studies. Personally, I think the advantages of talent shows on TV outweigh their disadvantages.
The following reasons can account for my point of view. Firstly, they provide talented grassroots people with access to easy and instant fame, publicity and profit which they may never dream of. Secondly, talent shows also bring pleasure and excitement to viewers. The story of Susan Boyle, an ordinary rural woman who stunned and inspired millions of people with her amazing singing through a famous British talent show, has greatly encouraged people to pursue their dreams bravely. Thirdly, the increasing popularity of talent shows helps organizers generate huge revenues through advertisements. These incomes will contribute to the development of the TV industry.
In conclusion, talent shows provide people with a stage to pursue their dreams, offer us entertainment and bring profits to TV stations. Thus there is a lot of sense in keeping and encouraging these shows.
