Television is the most popular form of entertainment in many households. People
of all ages use this media to entertain themselves for many hours a day. Thus, TV
has had a tremendous influence on its viewers, especially children. However, some
people worry that children can be negatively affected by constantly watching
television. What are the causes and effects of this trend? (cause /effects)

This trend = children constantly watch television

causes:
 exciting content: friendly with the children ex comedy, animation,...
 family pampering

effects:
 lifestyle, personality change, lowkey
 health problems: nearsightedness, obesity , loss of appetite: chán ăn

Television has a great impact on our lives. As a result, many people become
addicted to TV, especially children. This trend leads to many unpredictable
consequences. This essay will look at some primary causes of this and offer some
possible solutions to the problem.
There are a number of reasons for children watching TV constantly nowadays. The
first reason is the exciting content including colourful cartoons, and fantastic music
..., which attract children and make them spend hours watching TV. Another reason
is the lack of pampering from parents. They are too busy with their job and tired of
many household chores, so they leave their child with the TV to avoid being
disturbed by kids.
Several actions could be taken to mitigate the problem mentioned above. Firstly,
watching TV for a long time may lead to the changing personality of children,
especially lowkey or autistic. To be specific, when kids do not spend their time on
outdoor activities or exercises they will not have a chance to communicate with
another one, worse when they do not know how to behave like other people.
Secondly, this trend also leads to many health problems such as nearsightedness,
obesity, and loss of appetite. If you choose to spend all day at home, do not
exercise regularly and are not exposed to the light of the sun, you become more
passive, and your health will decrease.
In conclusion, there are various factors leading to children constantly watching
television and measures that can be implemented to tackle this issue.
