some people believe that watching TV is bad for children, while others claim it has positive effects for children as they grow up. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

There is no doubt that watching
television
is seen as a potential part of
people
's lives.
However
, some
people
argue that watching
television
is bad for
children
,
while
others believe that it has many benefits for
children
. In my view, there are both disadvantages and advantages to watching
television
, which will be discussed below. First of all, there are some negative effects that young
people
can get from watching
television
.
For example
, if they spend too much time watching
television
, they may develop eye problems. They may
also
become addicted to
television
. They
also
become isolated from society because they spend their time watching
TV
without doing any outdoor activities.
On the other hand
, it cannot be denied that watching
TV
has many benefits for
children
. It can help develop their imagination and find their passion by watching celebrities or inspiring
people
. Watching
TV
also
enhances their knowledge.
For example
, there are a lot of educational
TV
shows, that will help the
children
to learn some soft skills or
also
academic knowledge.
Besides
, when
children
watch
TV
, they may have opportunities to improve their language skills
such
as listening and reading.
For example
, almost all
TV
shows speak very fast, so if they want to understand what they are watching, they need to improve their listening skills.
To sum up
, several
people
say watching
TV
has a bad effect on
children
.
However
, others think that
TV
has a good effect too and I believe that
TV
has a lot of disadvantages for kids
