Well a study reckons that too
many kids are having too much screen time.
The report found that by the time
a child is seven they could have spent around a year of their life looking at
TV and computer screens.
Some experts think that if you're
between 7 and 12-years-old you should limit yourself to an hour a day to help
your brain develop better.
For your homework write a
paragraph either for or against answering the question:
Should children have their TV and computer time limited?
Try to include
- sentence starters that we have used in class,
- modal verbs (could, might),
- generalisers (some, all),
- consequences (as a result..)
From few years children have been using more devices like computers, iPads, laptops and cellphones. Because of that some of them are spending less time outdoors.
ReplyDeleteUsing those devices or spending too much time watching TV could cause brain damage or damage the eyes. As a result children have health issues or can't develop properly.
I think all of the children should spend less time in front of TV or playing games.
When I'm coming back home after school firstly I'm doing my homework and reading and then I'm allowed to watch some cartoons for 1 or 1,5 hour. I can watch or play a little bit longer during the weekend.
I believe that children should have limited time on TV and computer because you will miss lots of creative activities and playing with friends or spending time with your family. I for example am allowed to use my computer during the week for homeworks only and watching tv in the evening before bed time, but sometimes I don't like that because I would like to play on my computer.
ReplyDeleteHow much time do you spend watching tv or playing on the computer?
ReplyDeleteintroduction
I watch TV and use the computer, but I am only allowed on them for a certain amount of time.
For:
On TV there are educational and factual programs, (like David Attenbourgh) these teach us about the world and how animals survive.
The computer allows you to research facts to help you understand and learn things you may not know.
Against
It is important to also be active and outdoors in the fresh air, running around and playing with your friends. Talking with friends and family is also important .
I disagree that children watch to much tv

ReplyDeleteChildren should only watch tv for one hour and NO longer because that will stop the brain from developing in a right way. Also, that may cause damage to the eye sight if we spend long time close to the screen. In addition, watching too much TV will affect focusing level at school and while doing the homework and this will make the child lazy at school.
I think children should be allowed to watch 1-2 hours of TV.Children want to have fun and not allowing to watch will be ruining it for them.
ReplyDeleteThere are 3 reasons why they should be allowed to watch TV:
- Firstly, some people might be watching educational programs.So you might be stopping children from learning.
- Secondly, people also watch shows to pass their tests and exams.
- Last of all,when there is nothing to do they can watch a movie and movies are normally 1 and a half hours long.
So I think you can watch at least 1 and a half hours of TV or computer every day.
I think, that this is a good idea. But however, I am against this because, some children have school homework and tuition homework. Some children talk to family online.Children also do research on the computer or other devices. I reckon I spend at least two hours online in a week.
ReplyDeleteI think that TV and computer should be limited because it is bad for you eyes and brain.It might make you addicted and unsocial which means you don't communicate with other people .Unlimited TV and computer could make you ignore doing enough sports that could effect your health.Also as a result you don't read as much as you have to and reading helps your brain develop better.
ReplyDeleteTV and computer are good things to use for doing your homework or if you want find information but remember to use them reasonably.
i usually spend around 3 hour everyday watching tv and i spend once a week on computer.i think thta when your getting older you should spend less time because now teengar are soo addicted to the social life and its a bad thing you should go out spend time outside playing sport not only atching tv
ReplyDeleteI think adults should make their children's TV time limited, because if children watch too much TV, their education may suffer. Without a good education, they might not get a job. If children watch too much TV, they might get in to a bad habit and when they get older they might not focus on their exams. Also TV can be really bad for your eyes because if you watch too much, it can strain your eyes and you might need to get glasses. Experts believe that if you are between 7 and 12, watching too much TV can affect your brain development.
ReplyDeleteI think adults should limit their child's TV time. If children watch TV all day they don't have the time to explore outside.
I spent two hours watching T.V and on weekend i spent 1 hour computer.
ReplyDeleteWhen we watch too much T.V our eyes get tired though we feel sleepy while watching T.V try not to sleep. When a friend comes to our house we try to watch T.V than playing. It is important to limit our self by watching T.V
