▶ Your Answer : Some people think that watching television can enhance for students to study hard. Although people may hold different ideas and opinions, I personally support the idea that parents should prevent their children from watching television in order to make children study hard for the following two subsequent reasons. To begin with, watching television takes away time. Many television programs, such as television shows, dramas, and even advertisements are really interesting and enticing. It is hard for children to turn off the television spontaneously. Therefore children spend time on watching television rather than studying, For example, when I was a elementary school student, I was mad at watching television. I was totally engrossed with a variety of tv programs and I spent my time on watching television as much as possible. Inevitably, there was no time to study. My parents decided to get rid of the television because of me. I was really upset because it was my best pastime. However, I soon adopted to changed situation and I began to study diligently. On top of that, watching television makes children to be distracted. Television supply many sensory stimulations with people. Even after turning off television, people are disturbed by these stimulations. So it is challenging for students to focus on studying. Indeed, a study conducted by the National Institute of Education is well aligned with this statement. Researchers divided subjects into two groups. Group A was directed to watch a television and conduct the task prepared for subjects. Group B was directed to read a book rather than watching television and conduct the task. Group B received significant good scores at task. Researchers explained that group B students were more concentrated on the task. In contrast, group A students could not focus on the task for a while. In a nutshell, although whether watching television has negative influences on studying is open to interpretation, it seems reasonable to claim that watching television weakens for students to study diligently so it is wise to avoid them from watching television because of two reasons mentioned above.
