Some people think that parents should not avoid letting them
watch television in order to encourage children to study. However, in my
opinion, I strongly disagree with this statement following two reasons. First,
watching television can be cause of wasting their time. Second, watching television
can make children difficult to concentrate.
First, children can waste their valuable time to study. It
is obvious that watching television is quiet interesting activity to children. But
if we do not restrict them to watch television, they could not control to stop
watching. As a result, children can fully spend their time to watch television
rather than to do meaningful activities. For example, when I was an elementary
student, I used to watch television all day. This is because television showed
me a variety of world. However, the problem was that I did nothing during my
vacation because of watching television even I had an important assignment. So
after starting my semester, I got a bad grade of my assignment. Therefore, I
was regret about my behavior during the vacation.
Second, watching television makes children to focus on their
studies with difficulty. One of the research shows that parents have started to
get rid of television from their home in order to increase the concentration of
their children and this action actually works. For example, one of my cousins
had a difficulty in reading a book. Because he really liked to watch television
and it made him hard to concentrate something. So his parents decided to
relocate a television from living room to small room. And they made a good
environment to read books in living room. After changing the location of
television, cousin started to read books rather than watched a television. As a
result, he could get a good grade in his next test.
To sum up, avoiding children to watch television is
good for preventing the waste of their time and enhancing their concentration. In
this regard, I personally disagree that parents should not avoid letting them
watch television in order to encourage children to study. |
