3. Conversation Starter – AI130 A
 Drama is leaving a negative impact on children's
behavior. Children watch TV shows at night; in the
morning they try to copy the scenes. The
American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)
recommends that kids under 2 years old should
not watch any TV and that those older than 2
should not watch TV more than 1 to 2 hours a day
of quality programs. At what age do you think
children should watch TV? And why?
 (Fatima, English Literature)

4. Conversation Starter – AI130 B
 Everyone has a different personality from
other people. Should everyone choose what
