Some people think that to encourage children to study harder, parents should prevent their children from watching television. They may think television hamper children’s concentration. However, in my opinion, parents permit their children to watch television to motivate them to study harder. This is because television can reduce children’s stress and television has many educational programs. To begin with, television can decrease children’s stress. Since many television shows make children fun, they can reduce their stress when they are watching television. Then, reducing stress can help students concentrate on their study. I can take an example of my experience. When I was in high school, I have a lot of stress from my excessive study. Due to my stress, I was not able to focus on my study. One day, my friend suggested me to watch television to relieve my stress. His advice made me to begin to watch television and I felt comfortable when I was watching television. After watching television, I could reduce my stress a lot and I was able to concentrate on my study. On top of that, television have many educational programs. There are a lot of educational programs on television and they are usually designed to make sense easily although they cope with difficult educational subjects. Therefore, children can learn about contents relevant their study easily through watching television. For instance, one of my middle school friends had hard time studying Korean history. He always said that it was very complicated to understand because of a bunch of names of people and historical events. One day, he started to watch a television show dealing with historical events in Korea. He said that the program was very fun and used visual effects to explain contents. Thus, it was very beneficial for him to memorize contents about history of Korea. Eventually, he succeed in obtaining high scores in Korean history exams. To sum up, I believe that children are allowed by their parents to watch television to motivate children to study hard. This is due to the fact that television can help children relieve stress and there are a lot of programs to help study. |
