1. 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?

It is argued that because children spent most of their time watching

television

, their level of learning has fallen. While, I agree with the statement that

television

is a major source of distraction that keeps children away from their studies, there are other factors that are keeping them from getting higher

education

.

To begin

with, children spend most of their time in front of

television

instead

of reading books;

this

keeps them from progressing in the school.

That is

to say, nowadays,

television

is used as a source of learning tool

instead

of reading books to gain knowledge, so children spend most of their time watching

television

shows.

This

trend is lowering the

education

level in most children.

For example

, a research conducted by the University of California states that in the UK there is a 40% decline in the number of highly educated children over the

last

few years.

Although

,

television

is considered a source that prevent children from getting better

also

needs to be addressed. There are other problems that are preventing children from getting

education

. One reason is poverty, my children cannot afford to pay the tuition fee or loans

are needed

to get a high level of

. Another reason is the use of technology in the classroom distracts children from focusing on the lesson

this

affects their grades.

For instance

, an article in the

Journal reported that most of the high school students did not progress to secondary

although

I agree that

television

plays a role in preventing children from gaining better

, other factors that are contributing should

also

be addressed.
