Children nowadays spend a great deal of time watching television. However, television cannot replace the book as a learning tool, which is why children are less well‐educated today. To what extent do you agree with this statement ?

The main reason of poor

education

quality among children nowadays is that they spend a lot of their

time

watching

television

programmes and do things that are remotely connected to quality

education

. I completely agree with the statement that

television

cannot replace the

book

as a learning

tool

as it is far less educative and far more addictive.

Firstly

,

television

cannot replace books as learning materials owing to the fact that children often misuse

are less attractive than the cartoon shows and other programs children prefer

to watch. While there are lots of educative and suitable programs, it is not unusual that a child would prefer to watch programs that entertain more than educating. Another reason

television

is not as suitable as a

book

because when children learn through

television, then

then

their focus will be on audio-visual presentation, not in learning. Whereas if they follow

books

books, then

then

they focus on books and the lessons it offers. It is often heard that many children watch TV for long hours and

that is

detrimental to their health.

Television

programs are addictive and many children do not concentrate on other important things like study or outdoor activity when they become addicted to watching TV programs.

Finally

,

television

cannot replace the

due to

However

, if children spend more

time

in reading books there is no chance of wastage of

time

. The primary focus of

television

is entertaining people while books are considered as the cornerstone of knowledge and wisdom.

To

Suggestion

In

conclusion,

although

television

is more entertaining than books, it cannot become a great

tool

for

education

as books are for children. The

book

is still the most appropriate learning

tool

and the

television

can never replace it terms of
