Some people think watching TV is bad for children, while others think that has more beneficial effects on children. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
People have different views about the impact of watching television on children. While I tend towards the viewpoint that watching TV affects badly kids, I would have to support a limited amount of time of watching with parents’ control will bring more effective effects.
On the one hand, it is reasonable to argue over drawbacks of watching TV for children. More and more children do this indoor activity most of their time and therefore it is really harmful for their health. The high rate of obesity among children are increasing all over the world because spending long time sitting at the same place. In addition, this bad habit also make children be likely get poor eyes such as myopia. Besides, ignorance of participating to outdoor activities with friends may cause kids more isolated or even depressive. These symptoms surely affect children’s study results and their relationships with society in the long run.
However, I would agree with those who believe that letting children to watch television under their parents’ controls can bring benefits for kids. Programmes on television are one of the rich sources for kids to widen knowledge of the world around them and to foster their awareness about the real life, children are able to learn useful things from television channels such as learning languages. Furthermore, useful programmes on TV could encourage children more imaginative and creative and also getting inspired by successful people or geniuses. These influences are significantly helpful for kids’ visions in the long run.
In conclusion, it seems to me that watching TV bring much more benefits for young generations with help and care from parents. (272 words)
