Television dominates the free-time for too many people. It can make people lazy and prevent them from socializing with others. Do you agree or disagree? Give reason for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Television

plays an important role in everyone’s life. Nowadays, watching

in free

time

becomes a popular activity and due to that person become lazy and unsocial. In my opinion, because of the excessive use of

Television

, we become less active in our daily lives. Some people think that televisions can help to gain knowledge and because of them, we can get a chance to know a different culture. According to them, children can learn many good habits by watching

. They think that serials, news and sports matches are the only available option they have to spend their free

time

However

, I think that excessive use of

television

makes us lazy and unsocial.

Television

not only is the easiest electronic device to operate, but

also

quite common in every house. All family members are at least spending 2 to 3 hours of watching

television

Also

, most of the houses have single

television

and often they have to wait for their turn to watch their favourite program. By spending too much

time

television

, we are cutting down our valuable

time

that we can spend with family, friends or on our hobby.

Furthermore

, Televisions do not offer us any kind of exercise and often people spend 3-4 hours in a single position which makes them lazy and less active.

Also

, research has shown that continuously watching

can harm our eyes. It can affect joints as we do not have much movement while watching

. They

also

make people untoward and that indirectly affects their mind. I

also

had spent much

time

television

in my teenage years and because of that I gained considerable weight at that

time

and that made me very lazy in my routine life.
