Television dominates the free-time of too many people. It can make people lazy and prevent them from socialising with others. Do you agree or disagree?

The leisure

time

of many

individual's

Change the noun form

individuals

individual

is spent watching

television

. The negative impact of

this

is that it prevents them from interacting with friends and family, as well as making them inactive and lethargic. I agree with

this

statement, because staring at a screen for a long

period

of

time

reduces an individuals

ability

to focus, and sitting down for many hours lowers a persons

ability

to move, by reducing energy levels and muscle strength.

Firstly

, staring at the

television

screen for a long

period

of

time

can reduce the cognitive

ability

of a

person

.

This

is because when a

person

watches tv they do not need to use a great deal of brain function, as they are mostly just receiving information that does not require action.

For example

, action films are filled with explosions and fighting scene, which are visually pleasing

but do not require much analysis or cognitive

ability

to understand.

Therefore

, over

time

brain function will decrease and basic abilities

such

as talking to someone become harder to do.

Secondly

, when watching tv for a long

time

your body will become less active.

This

is because sitting down for a long

period

of

time

prevents you from exercising, which is vital for health and wellbeing.

For example

, if you do not exercise regularly,

then

your muscle tone will reduce and your cardiovascular system will

also

become weaker.

As a result

, ones

ability

to move effectively will become harder and the

person

will become more lethargic. In conclusion, I agree that watching

television

for a long

period

of

time

will negatively impact a

person

's social life and their health and wellbeing, by making them lazy and unable to communicate effectively with those around them.

Therefore

, it would be better to avoid spending so much of your free

time

watching

television

.
