Some people believe that reading stories from a book is better than watching tv or playing computer games for children. To what extent do you agree or disagree.

Some people believe that it is better for children to read storybooks other than watching

TV

or playing

computer

games. In my opinion, I moderately disagree with

this

point of view,

This

essay will argue why sometimes watching

TV

and playing

computer

games are good for young generations to do in their leisure time. A growing number of parents are reluctant to let their children watch programmes on television or play games as they have reasons to believe that their children could not learn useful knowledge from these kinds of entertainment and they are completely a waste of time.

In addition

, reading storybooks is always considered as a great way for the young generations to learn something important while relaxing themselves with the study pressure becoming increasingly heavy than ever before.

For example

, a recent survey reveals that half of the parents interviewed tend to buy more than 5 to 10 storybooks for their children per month.

As a result

, many parents have good reasons to have their children to read stories from a book

instead

of watching

TV

or playing games. Despite reading is a good leisure activity for the young, watching programmes on television and playing games could have some good effects on them as well.

For instance

, research shows that playing games could have a positive influence on creating imagination and developing thinking skills.

Furthermore

, some programmes and games are educational and children could gain more practical experience, which can not be replaced by reading.

Although

addiction might be a potential problem, it is a good opportunity for parents to teach their children to self-discipline.

Therefore

, watching

TV

and playing games both have positives for the young. In conclusion, reading stories from a book is always regarded as being better than watching

TV

or playing

computer

games for children.

This

essay argued why watching

TV

and playing

computer

also

have their own benefits.
