Children can learn effectively through watching TV. Therefore children should be encouraged to watch TV regularly both at home and at school. To what extend do you agree or disagree?
It is true that people, including
children
, can learn a lot of knowledge
through watching TV
as the TV
industry develops. While some people advocate that children
should be encouraged to watch TV
regularly, I cannot agree with this
view, because I think the disadvantages of watching TV
outweigh the advantages.
On the one hand, we have to admit that there are some merits for children
in terms of watching TV
for learning. Firstly
, as there are all kinds of programs on TV
, children
can learn a lot of knowledge
from them, which could broaden their horizons. Besides
, TV
content could be used as a complementary part of school education. Secondly
, being a vivid form of visual and auditory combined, TV
could enhance the efficiency of children
’s learning. For example
, having been transformed into cartoon films or movies, many classic literature works have become easier to understand by children
, as the paper form is boring and difficult for them to read.
On the other hand
, the demerits of children
watching TV
frequently are more obvious. First
, children
cannot learn much useful knowledge
from TV
due to the lack of systematic and consistent educational context. In fact, watching TV
randomly most of the time, children
will obtain little help in learning from this
fractional knowledge
. Furthermore
, some of this
chaotic knowledge
even results in some conflicts with that of receiving from teachers. Finally
, there are many kinds of themes on TV
and most of them are not suitable for children
, which may generate negative effects on them. More importantly, if they imitate some violent behaviours learned from TV
, some children
may have the risk of becoming delinquent in the real world.
In a nutshell, I cannot agree with the view that encouraging children
to watch TV
regularly both at home and school, though it has some advantages. In my opinion, children
could watch TV
under the guidance and accompanying of teachers or parents, with limited time and content.Submitted by zh.shiyong on
