Some children spend hours every day on smartphones. Why is this the case? Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

#children #hours #smartphones #case #development
Nowadays, technology is one of the parts of our life whether adults, elders, and
children
. Some teenagers
use
 their entire day on their mobile phones to play games and watch movies. In my opinion, I think that these would be benefited many
children
.
First
 of all, many
children
 will spend most of their time on blue-light screens because of living alone. Sometimes parents have to do some work until night and do not have time to spend on their child.
Therefore
,
children
 will choose to
use
smartphones
 to stay away from loneliness by chatting with their friends and playing games.
Moreover
, we already have social media which can make relationships from any part of the world.
This
 will benefit
children
 to
use
 their English
skills
 to communicate with them.
Secondly
,
smartphones
 can be used for improving their learning
skills
.
Although
 learning from the actual situation will gain more
skills
 and can be reliable,
smartphones
 are a suitable choice for
children
 who do not want to go outdoor and focus on the content.
Smartphones
 provide many applications for study
such
 as physics
apps
, mathematics
apps
, biology
apps
, and language practice
apps
.
For example
, they have to practice for the final test. They
use
 applications to study each topic in their home without noise and disturbance.
Thus
,
this
 can be useful for many
children
 to get knowledge easily and rapidly. To sum up, the reason why
children
 spend their time on
smartphones
 is normal behaviour. Because it comes from lacking responsibility of their parents.
However
,
smartphones
 have benefits on it ,if we
use
 mobile phones in the correct way. It can be used for learning many
skills
 and improving their relationship with their friends.
Also
,
use
 to practice English
skills
.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
