Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no specialist
knowledge of the following topic.
Television has brought great changes to the way many children spend leisure
time. While some of these changes have been beneficial, others have had a harmful effect.
To what extent do you disagree or disagree?
(Use your own ideas, knowledge, and experience and support your arguments with
examples and relevant evidence.)
One of the innovations of the 19th century was the making of television.
Indeed it made the world smaller. It is one of the medium in communication
for news, and entertainment. Throughout the years the television had many
improvements in presentation like that of black and white television to
colored television.
Children nowadays spend much in watching television due mainly to the
countless cartoon networks such as Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon to
name some which majority of the children are into. But what do children
get from watching television? On the positive side, children develop their
skills in language, they learn much vocabularies in which many also put
into practice when they talk to someone especially to their families and
friends. To add, children also learn many things about the world. They
learn so many things about animals, plants, places, sports, even about
the moon and the countless stars in the night sky which children are so
fascinated with.
But despite the advantages children get from television, there are dangers
still. Many children of today watch television almost the whole day, some
do escape from classes just not to miss an episode of their favorite channel,
others become disobeying to their parents, they don't like to help washing the
ishes and other household chores because they are so focused on what they
are watching. It is also shocking sometimes that children learn to utter obscene,
harsh, or in a simpler term bad words. Parents do wonder how some children come
to learn such unacceptable words for their young age. It is a big concern to
parents because what children learn at young age could be carried out when
they become adults and that is what parents are trying to avoid.
So what must parents do to control and guide the children when watching
television? These are some suggestions that may help when children are
watching television: stay with them, tell them what to watch and what
not to watch and explain why ( a very simple reason is that some channels
are not appropriate for a child's age), block the channel by setting the control
settings of a television which is now a feature of many televisions of today,
doing so, the children will not be able to access or view the channel since
it was set blocked. Although I admit that these may not still be 100% effective,
but taking action shows being a responsible parent than not doing at all.
