WATCHING TELEVISION IS GOOD FOR CHILDREN
ReplyDeleteEverybody thinks that television is bad for children. I disagree with this for a number of reasons, surely you agree that this is good idea because you just don’t get enough information from books, do you? The truth is, that you don’t just get all the information from books. You can learn from television programmes as well, they teach you some staggering things. Why shouldn’t we watch? My main reason that children should watch television is because they can get a good sense what’s going on like the news. You can watch things that can make you smart or give you an education and give you something you might be concerned about. Nearly everyone has to watch television to see the weather, news, what’s going on etc.
My statement is about watching television is bad for children
ReplyDeleteWatching television is bad for children because they might have glasses because they are watching it for a long time. If the child is sitting to close to the television they also might have glasses , and their eyes might get sore and red. They might have a bad headache and they might feel dizzy. When they have the glasses they might think it is blurry. It might not even fit on to there eyes because they don't have the right one for the child. Sometimes you get addicted to the television and never get your eyes off the television. If the child can't see they will have a dizzy brain and fall down on the floor and heat them self. Glasses make you see. ��

I think watching TV is good for children because you learn lots of new things that would be useful for the future or at school.People like to watch TV because they find it relaxing.
ReplyDeleteEverybody Knows that the TV can damage your eyesight if you sit to close to the TV. Some shows are very interesting such as Horrible Histories, Horrible Science and many more that could help you at school and in the future. Most Children are nearly all the time watching TV. If you are bored you can sit back and enjoy your favourite TV shows.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion TV is bad for you because it takes away great adventures in your life. Although some programmes are educational too much may cause eye problems. In addition I feel that TV blocks you from interacting with your family and friends. Moreover watching TV before bed it can result in you noy going to bed.

Television is good for you
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows that television is good for you because you have fun learning. My reason, 1 you can learn from Newsround and know what’s happening round the world. Reason 2, the truth is you can learn about the tropical life for wild animals that live in the jungle. So, we also can learn from the television about new things in a fun and easy way.

WATCHING TELEVISION IS BAD FOR CHILDREN.
ReplyDeleteWatching television is bad for children. I'm sure you will agree watching TV for a long time is the same as staring at the sun for 5-10 seconds.
As well as hurting your eyes it ruins your eyesight, one of my friend has glasses for watching TV. I agree TV is a bit educational but the rest of it is inappropriate and has bad words. Anyway you could read a book to be educated so why watch TV and ruin your eyesight.
I'm sure that watching TV is bad for children. It will damage their eyes.What I am saying is that children's eyes are not fully developed so it affects their eyesight. I'm sure you will agree that, when we watch TV we sit on the sofa which means we will not get any exercise.
ReplyDeleteYour brain freezes and the only thing you think about is your screen.Watching TV makes children concentrate less
because they have a daydream about what they were watching.
After knowing this do you still want to watch TV?!
watching television is bad for children
ReplyDeleteSurely you agree that by watching television children have less time to work on their homework and revision.
do you want your children doing homework or watching television?
Another way that television is bad for children is that it weakens their eyesight.Children who watch more that 4 hours of Tv a day are more likely to get glasses and have weak eyes.
Watching TV can be good for children. If they watch science channels, discovery channels and news they can learn a lot from them. Having said that, they shouldn't spent a lot of time watching TV. Studies show, that children who watch educational and non-violent children’s shows do better on reading and math tests than those who do not watch these programs. Very jung children, who watch cartoons on TV can learn language quicker then those who just playing by them selfs. Surely you agree that is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is if you watching too much TV you can damage your eyes, but if you watching from time to time is not to bad.
Finally, we have to think about what children could be doing if they are not watching TV. If they will read a book, play outside then is better then TV, but if they will be playing on the xbox or be bored, then TV is better.
Television Debate
ReplyDeleteI strongly believe watching Television is great for children as it inspires their ambitions to grow. Children can think of their future and get role models from the people who inspired them from the programs. For example, a child watches a science show and he thinks "I want to be a scientist too ! ". And it mainly because of watching television. It is also a great entertainment for them. It is also good for kids as they can watch nursery rhymes and also there are lot of learning activities. I personally learned lot of things from watching television.

ReplyDeleteWho does not Like watching television? Adults, teenagers and children all love watching television. Watching television is good and bad for children. It is good for the children to watch television because some TV shows can educate and learn new things. For example, children can't visit the rain forest or see animals in the wild but they can see these things on TV. We can see videos of nature, animals and learn from it. Also, TV shows helps children to try new activities and be involved in learning. However, television is bad for the children too! Watching too much television will harm the children's eyes and it also makes the children lazy because they just sat down watching television only, no exercise and they don't want to be disturbed. In addition, some programme show violent acts and this can affect the children behaviour and make them aggressive.
WATCHING TELEVISION IS GOOD FOR CHILDREN.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion watching television is good for children
because children learn from it. Everyone know's that in
cartoons there are morals so children can learn how to be nice to each other. The truth is that television is invented because you can see what's happening in this world. For example daily news that will provide latest information. You have to watch it a bit.
I am sure you all will agree with this.
WATCHING TELEVISION IS BAD FOR CHILDREN
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion watching television is bad for children because although it provides the latest information it can cause eye problems and people could be blind and ruin their future with complications.It can be bad because the children might watch vile aggressive shows make them a bad boy or girl.It can take away great adventures like going to Iceland ,Greenland or Indonesia . Another reason its bad for children is gives them less time to interact with others or your family any of your relatives.I am sure your will agree with this. In a matter of time you will get glasses for watching too much TV.We should watch like about 1-2 hours a day.Your brain will freeze and all you can think about is your TV.Another thing but might not relate to television.Using the phone too much will also cause you eye problems as well.
Watching television is bad for children!
ReplyDeleteNowadays we see that children have access to television in their bed rooms. As a result they spend on considerable amount of time watching the television. Now as children are at their growing stage and are developing the motor skills and coordination’s on spending more time on the television means that they will have weaker eye sight, complains of headaches and loss of concentration. Children are losing on the family time, traditional book reading and having a negative impact and losing handwriting skills. Watching on a sitting couch for a long period of time can be harmful. Children are getting overweight because of lack of physical activities. It affects children as much as adults and put them in the high risk of life threatening conditions such as diabetes coronary heart disease and stroke. Don’t you agree?!!!
Looking at the consequences above on use of television it is not suitable to be allowed to spend long time on the television. Therefore I agree that Television time should be limited.

My opinion is that watching television is good for you becoause you can learn stuff from television and it also tells you all the news and when you watch like cartoons they have good stuff in and you can learn well it is also a little bit bad for your eyes. Every body might think that it is bad but its not.

ReplyDeleteWatching TV is good for children.
I believe watching TELEVISION is a great idea. It is good, because You can watch many diffrent programmes like - comedy ,scientific,cartoons and we can learn some good things from them . The fact is, if you don't have a TV, you can not have fun or learn!!! But don't watch it a lot of time, but may be, watch maximum 30 to 40 minutes approximately.

Surely you agree that watching television is bad for children because it harms our eyes if we watch it often. Everybody knows that watching television wastes their time. If you don`t watch television you can spend more time at reading books. Don`t you think that when there were no televisions the people had more time being active and they were more healthly.
