▶ Your Answer :
Regarding to the issue of whether parents
have to avoid allowing children to watch television for their studying has been
a recent debate. The answer to this question can greatly vary depending on the
individual’s perspectives. However, after pondering upon the idea from several viewpoints,
I think that watching television can benefit for children’s studies with two
reasons.
To
begin with, television is a very good way to refresh minds. Students who
relieve stress from studying through watching television programs will do
better in school. For instance, I love watching movies and dramas when I was a
high school student. As I get stressed from studying or preparing for
presentations, I usually watch television and felt refreshed. For me, it was the
best way to control my mind and concentrate better on my works again, which
directly led to good grades in the school life. As my case shows, watching
television can become a refreshment to encourage children to focus on their
studies better.
On
top of that, some TV programs are educational. Therefore, children can gain
useful knowledge and a lot of information which they are interested in. According to a study carried out in 2009 at the University of
Calgary, children who watched educational science programs regularly scored
better on science tests than others who did not. In this research, researchers
also compared the grades of children who read books about science and others
who watched science programs for children. After studying, researchers found
that children understand and memorize about educational television programs
they watched last week better than books they read last night. As this research
reveals, educational TV programs can be much better than books for students’
learning.
To
conclude, I believe that there is no doubt that letting children watch
television can be a good way to encourage their learning with the reasons I
mentioned above. The opinion can differ from people to people, but what does
not change is that this topic is something that needs to be addressed. (336자)
