Many people watch soap operas because they find them enjoyable and realistic. (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

Our television is unimaginable without soap operas, which many consider truthful and interesting. However, there are many people who are against these television programs.

In my opinion, soap operas are unrealistic. Firstly, soap operas have characters who are either too brave and kind or too cruel or cowardly. People in real life are more complicated, for example they can be brave, but have phobias or fears, while personages in soap operas usually shows only one side of their personality. Secondly, most soap operas end happily, which cannot be always true in real life.

Sometimes it is difficult to assess whether the life event ended good or badly, whereas in soap operas everything is uniquely.

Otherwise, there is another point of view. Many people believe soap operas have much in common with real life and that is why they are so interesting. Soap operas tell stories about usual persons, whose dreams became true and viewers start to believe in a miracle watching this happy stories.

I cannot agree with this opinion. As I said before, characters in soap operas are not real people, they have simple personality. Real persons would not act as people in soap operas and they have no similarities with people on the screen of TV.

To sum up, although soap operas are amusing and many people enjoy them, I am convinced they are not true to life and do not reflect real people’s behavior. I hope that my point of view is understandable for everybody who has read this text. Thank you for yor attention.
