Today, people are required to stay home, so most of them especially children spend their time on watching TV every day. However, watching TV for too much time also bring some bad effect to them.

One example is watching TV would cause the ill effect for children’s eyesight. It is evident that after rapid spread of TV, children’s eyesight has been deteriorating. Some people might argue that watching for short time wouldn’t lead eyesight to decline. However, according to statistics, watching TV for only 30 minutes even  causes bad effect.

Similarly, TV also decrease children’s time for studying. Thanks to many interesting TV programs and dramas, we can kill time easily,. On the other hand, children, who should prioritize studying, can also do that easily and it will be cause of decline in academic ability. Someone will also insist there are a lot of quiz show such as “Q-sama” from which children can learn many knowledge. However, these TV programs are for adults and it is important for children to think with their own brain, see with their own eyes, and write their own hands.

Though we can live with few troubles every day thanks to development of technology, I think we should mind about the time of enjoying entertainment. Of course they are essential for us to relive some stress, but we must  not forget that we should enjoy them with time limits.

Thank you.
