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

 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.

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
