   Is watching TV harmful or beneficial for children’s creativity?


  TV is an essential part of leisure activities in most families. However, some parents decide not to have a TV set in their homes, in order that their children will devote enough time to invention and creation.
  Do you agree or disagree with this attitude?
  The invention of television, one of the products of modern civilization, has made an enormous change in the lifestyle of human beings. TV has been playing more and more important role in most families after work. Yet, as to whether it is a blessing 1 or a curse, parents often hold widely different opinions and take totally different attitudes.
  There is suspicion in some parents’ minds that TV might retard 2 their children’s creative ability or restrain kids’ imagination because TV viewers tend to receive information in a passive way instead of discovering things by themselves. Although people working in the TV industry have made lots of efforts to produce various programs, the outcome is usually unsatisfactory: either the program is too profound to be understood or the topic is not interesting enough to attract TV audiences. Thus, watching TV is hardly a good way to inspire children’s creativity. In many cases, it can draw attention away from their studies and spoil their school education.(From:www.cnielts.com)Despite the negative effects that TV produces, many parents still think that TV programs are quite helpful to their children’s mental development because these programs can broaden their horizons and enrich their life experiences. Admittedly, some scientific, detective and documental programs like Discovery and National Geographic 3 are so enlightening and fascinating that even little kids can be absorbed in. Furthermore, some well-chosen programs can motivate young children to diligent 4 studies and in-depth researches. Hence, if parents can select TV programs carefully, the advantages brought about by watching TV definitely outweigh 5 its disadvantages.
  In summary, TV is like a double-edged sword that can be used in a positive or negative way. Parents can make their own decisions about whether to have TV at their houses. It is their responsibility to make sure that their children’s creativity is enhanced through watching TV.
