  2. I believe that watching television is bad for children, if you look at a screen for too long it could affect your eyesight by straining your eyes and it could also make you have headaches and shorten your attention span.
    Surely you would agree that it is true that you can become lazy if you spend all your time sitting watching television when you could be out playing and getting exercise and also using our imagination making up games that is a lot healthier for you so that can only be a good thing.
    If you spend all your time sitting watching television you would not do your homework and you could get a detention, how would you like that to happen?
    I strongly believe that you could be doing other things that are better than watching television.

  5. Watching TV is good for children.
    Most kids will agree that watching TV is good for them because it relaxes their mind. There are four other reasons to support my view. Everybody knows that there are educational programs for children to watch through which they can learn about the world.
    Surely you agree that it can give you ideas for what you could become in the future.
    It is clear that TV is a great source to get children entertained.
    I strongly believe that it enhances your imagination when you watch an animation.
    In conclusion, I strongly support watching TV is good for children when it is watched from an appropriate distance and within a limited time.

  6. I strongly believe that watching TV is bad for children. Surely you agree that watching TV will strain your eyes. In addition, watching TV can cause headache and neck pain. Don’t you think that watching TV complete waste of time? Everybody knows that if you watch inappropriate content, could be harmful for children. Another reason is that if you watch violent programmes, it might cause aggressive behaviour. Furthermore, it can lead to nightmares and bad dreams. Did you know that children who watch 4 hours TV generally are obese? Moreover, children overeat while watching TV. Furthermore, children watch advertisement on TV and demand for something they don’t really need. Although there are some informative programmes on TV, but the same information can be gathered from reading books. As for entertainment children should do more physical activity instead of watching TV. For all these reasons, I am sure you will agree with me that watching TV is bad for children.

  7. Watching TV is bad for children

    Surely you agree TV is bad for children because it can hurt our eyes. Lots of people say TV is bad for children. How would you feel if you had bad eye sight? It is clear that there are lots of games to play than watch TV. Don't you think there are lots of games to play? But not video games. Its good to read books about science and about the world. Watching too much TV makes you lazy and does not make you cleaver.
    So don't watch too much TV and do other activities.

  8. I think watching television is good for children. Everybody knows that there are lots of educational documentaries that help children with their learning. Surely you agree that these programmes give valuable information to children about the world they live in. Don’t you also think that watching an entertaining programme, such as The Simpsons, gives children time to relax after a busy day at school? Furthermore, if children have watched a film based on a book it might inspire them to read the book.

  9. In my opinion i think that watching tv is good for u however it is bad too. I think it is good because children can pick up new words and if they are really young they can get familiar with words by watching tv however it is bad too because u can strain ur eye and this can make u have glasses. Most children with agree with me however parents or older people will not agree and if u adults dont let children watch tv u are being very cruel, do u want to be a bad parent ? so let them watch tv not so much that they can make their eye sight bad.

  10. Watching TV is bad for you !!!

    I strongly believe that watching Television is bad for children. There are countless reasons why I believe watching Television is bad for children. Here are the main reasons:
    Firstly , the truth is that, watching too much Television will make your eyes weak. Consequently, you will get spectacles. When children constantly watch television they stare at the screen for a long time , their eyes begin to water and they might also get a headache. In my opinion, watching Television is bad for children because they could watch things they are not supposed to watch if your mum and dad are not there with them. Surely you agree that watching Television makes children lazy , unhealthy as they become a couch potato.

  12. Tv is bad for children
    I wish to say that TV is bad for children. Many children agreed to this accusation in a recent debate. Surely you agree that TV is bad since it makes you lazy. Also, the truth is that TV is bad for children as you will never interact with real people. How would you feel if you were just lazing around? Don’t you think that it is not nice to have glasses because then you need to be careful? Haven’t you heard that your brain becomes sluggish if you watch TV day, evening and night?

  13. TV is bad for children
    I strongly believe that TV has more disadvantages to children as compared to its advantages. Many children agreed to this accusation in a recent debate. Firstly, TV makes children lazy because they miss out on playtime. In addition, children miss out on education since they are just sitting down and doing nothing. How would feel if you were just lazing around? Secondly, children are forgetting to blink damaging their eye causing them to get glasses. Furthermore, children will not interact with real people and they won’t have friends. Finally, watching TV for a long time can be unhealthy for the eyes. In conclusion, it is clear to see that TV is bad, so children shouldn’t watch TV all the time
