【佳作欣赏】
From the table, we can see that film is giving way to TV in our city.
For example, in 1995, there were less than 10 thousand TV watchers, more than 80 thousand film goers, while in 2005, we had about 1 million TV watchers but only about 10 thousand film goers. The number of film goers is decreasing and that of TV watchers is increasing.
Televisions are quite common nowadays and so more and more people turn to TV because it is convenient and cheap and watchers have a wide range of programs for them to choose from. At the same time, there are still some people④who prefer films because they like the atmosphere in the cinema ⑤as well as the entertainment.
