   A new TV play in England, Away from it all, has surprised everyone by becoming a success with young people across the country. Its success is surprising because the main character(主角) in the play is a sheep boy, and the play is about the relaxing lifestyles（生活方式） of people who live in the country. There is none of the action that we usually see on TV today. There are also no stressful（紧张） moments, busy offices or crowded cities. Away from it all is set in the English countryside and tells simple stories about people’s kindness.

   The director（导演） of the TV play says that its success is a sign of teenagers suffering from stress. They say that watching Away from it all helps teenagers forget about the pressures（压力） of exams and homework, and the troubles that fill the world today. They also say that it’s a good sign of today’s young people turning to happier TV plays as it shows they would like a happier and healthier world.

   Although the play success might have a good side, many teachers and parents are worried, however. They say that some of their students and children are becoming couch（沙发） potatoes and are using Away from it all as an excuse for not doing homework. Some children have even refused to learn for exams because they say that they can be happy without exams. 

   One mother, Lucy Linney, talks about her son Patrick. “Before he started watching Away from it all he loved working hard and did volunteer work every afternoon. But now he has become a couch potato. He turns on TV when he gets home from school and only turns it off when he goes to bed at midnight. His grades have dropped and he no longer volunteers but he says it doesn’t matter as he wants his life to ‘get away from it all’.”

   And what do the experts(专家) say? Paula Ray, a doctor of education, says that TV can influence children’s lifestyles. But she says that if a child reacts as strongly as Patrick, it’s likely that there are other reasons for his change in behaviour（行为）. She says that there is nothing wrong with watching Away from it all but suggests that parents should make sure their children know TV is not the same as real life.
