Last Sunday I counted ads. for seven kinds of televisions and thirteen kinds of radios in the Youth Journal. Besides that, there were pages and pages of ads. for Citizens’ Band radios and tape recorders.Don’t you realize what electronic equipment is doing to our dailylife? Everywhere you go you may hear loud music and advertisements over radios; this continuous noise is doing harm to our ears. Husbands don’t talk to wives any more; they are always watching the news or a ball game. Children’s eyes become hurt with endless hours of watching not only the programs for children but also those for grown-ups as well. And worse, hidden microphones find out our personal lives, and computers keep records of personal information about us.That is enough! I think you should limit the amount of advertising of electronic equipment in the Youth Journal, or it will make life unbearable(难以忍受的)for us all.1.
