if you are good at observation， you may find that fewer people today prefer to going to the cinema to watching tv at home. and this phenomenon is proved by the above graph. let's look at the graph. it shows that from 1975 to 1985，the number of tv watchers increased steadily, while the number of film-goers drastically decreased.
there aret i think, at least two reasons for this trend. fist of all, one, sitting in front of the tv, can always find his/her favorite program, for there is always a great variety of programs which can satisfy different tastes. but in this respect, the cinema can never be compared with tv. secondly, it is simply easy and comfortable for people to watch tv indoors. watching tv saves people the trouble of going out and lining up for tickets and so on. they just sit somewhere, and, with the remote controller in hand, enjoy themselves.nevertheless few as they are, some people always enjoy going to the cinema. tv can never take the place of the film for these people. for them, the film always has its unique charm. they go to the cinema for the particular atmosphere and the feeling of getting involved in the action.
as we know, no dish suits all tastes. similarly, while many people prefer watching tv at home, a few like go to the cinema.
