Belarus is a beautiful country. It is one of the most picturesque and interesting countries. It is full of unique landscapes, historical monuments and outstanding architecture. I would strongly advise you to go to the Braslav Lakes National Park. It is situated in the northwest of Belarus in  Braslav District of Vitebsk Oblast. The area of the park is 69115 hectares. Nowhere else will you find such a variety and beauty as here. There are many places to see in the Braslav Lakes National Park, so by all means go and enjoy the fascinating mountains, beaches, green forests and islands, marvellous lakes and, of course, the historical castles. It's worth going there. It's full of natural beauty.

I have read the article "why TV is bad for us" and I want to express my opinion on it. 
TV really makes people lazy. When a person watches TV, he becomes very passive. Sometimes people spend in front of TV most of their time. We are lazy to go outside and just breathe fresh air. When we watch TV, we don't use our brain at all. The fact is that TV doesn't very often stage intellectual shows. Also violence is brightly expressed on TV. But the law tries to fight against it. Censorship and restriction of age is established. 

In my opinion, TV influences people badly. Instead of the active recreation, which is good for health, people choose passive and useless rest.
