TV Dating
　　Recently, TV dating shows produced by some of China's provincial satellite TV stations have become very popular. With the success of Jiangsu Satellite TV's "If You Are the One", some other TV stations have been making their own dating programs. These programs have generated debate among the viewers.
　　Some audiences think that these programs may have a bad effect on young people. They are worried about the money worship showed by a few female participants. Watched by millions, one female participant from Beijing once rejected a suitor by saying that she would rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle. Some other audiences support these programs. They hold that no TV shows can fully reflect social reality and that the money worship of a few participants does not represent mainstream Chinese society. People daring to express their love values in public should be considered as social progress.
　　In my opinion, the popularity of the TV dating programs can be employed as an opportunity to advocate positive values of love and marriage. After all, most people disapprove of the idea of money worship. (184 words)

电视相亲
　　最近，中国一些省卫星电视台制作的电视相亲节目已变得非常流行了。随着江苏卫视的"非诚勿扰"的成功，其他一些电视台已在制作他们自己的相亲节目。这些节目在观众中引起了一些争论。
　　一些观众认为，这些节目可能对年轻人造成坏的影响。他们对有些女性参加者的拜金现象有所担忧。在上百万人的观看下，一位来自北京的女性参加者曾经拒绝了一个追求者，她说宁肯在一辆宝马车里哭，也不愿在一辆自行车上笑。其他一些观众支持这些节目。他们认为没有电视节目能完全反映社会现实，几个参加者的拜金现象不代表中国社会主流。人们敢于在公众面前表达他们自己的爱情观，应该被视为社会的进步。
　　依我看来，电视相亲节目的盛行可以被用作倡导积极的爱情观与婚姻观的机会。毕竟，大部分人都不赞同拜金的观念。
