Some people say that television is useful for education, while others say it is useful only for entertainment. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

Some would argue that

television

is beneficial for gaining knowledge, while others say that it is helpful for enjoyment. While some channels provide valuable information, I believe

television

is more advantageous for leisure. On the one hand, there are some educational channels which are very useful for

children

Accept comma addition

children, such

such

as, National Geographic

Suggestion

as National Geographic,

and Discovery. These channels provide current information about science, history and wildlife. If children watch

such

channels, they will have more understanding about the happenings on our planet.

For example

, in 2011, Canada started a special educational program that focused on Maths which proved to be very helpful for children especially, during their exams.

However

, I believe that due to the advent of modern technology, children are using the Internet more than

television

for educational purposes.

On the other hand

,

television

is deemed to be a source of fun and amusement.

That is

to say, people use

television

sets only to watch entertaining programs and daily soaps.

This

is because after a stressful day at work, many people like to listen to music or watch comedy shows just to have a laugh and relax. A survey done

last

year in India showed that more than 50% of the population used it only to relieve stress by watching movies. I believe that leisure and enjoyment are the main purposes behind watching

television

. In conclusion,

although

television

provides educational information which can be beneficial for children,

majority

Suggestion

the majority

a majority

of the people watch it for entertainment purposes.
