雅思英语作文 computer 儿童使用电脑的负面影响大于正面影响

Using a computer every day can have more

negative than positive effects on young

children.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Give reasons for your answer and include any

relevant examples from your own knowledge or

experience.

Model Answer 1:

Nowadays, young children use computers so

frequently that some even use them more than

10 hours every day. Although some people

believe that the phenomenon has no harmful

effects on young children, I agree that the

disadvantages of it outweigh the advantages. To

begin with, the benefits of using a computer are

widely admitted. As high-tech tools, computers

provide children with diversified methods to help

them learn efficiently. Animated web pages and

incentive applications are designed for teaching

and inspiring them to access more information

and that process expands their horizons as a

result. Also, children are attracted easily by the

interactions in educational computer programs,

so that they absorb knowledge effectively in a

lively atmosphere, and it proves to be welcomed

by both parents and teachers. On the other hand,

negative impacts of using a computer every day

need to be emphasised. Since young children

have only acquired inadequate self-control, they

are likely to be addicted to computers, video

games in particular. Spending too much time on

computer games, children will lose their interest

in studying as well as communicating with their

peers. Moreover, their values and perspectives

of the real world might not be well developed

once they fall in love with the virtual world, which

will have a detrimental influence on their future.

Again, using computers for long hours has both

physical and psychological effects that would be

even more devastating for young children. In

conclusion, though computers are helpful to

youngsters’ study, the adverse effects they bring

weigh more. It is acceptable that youngsters use

computers two or three times a week, but

parents still need to be aware of the unhealthy

information on the internet and video games

addiction of their offspring.

Model Answer 2:

The computer is considered as a wonderful

invention of the modern world and somehow

young people are more attracted to using

computers than the older people. Like any other

technology, computers have their own demerits

if overused or negatively used, but I completely

disagree that using a computer every day can

have more adverse effects than positive effects

for young children.

A computer is a bit different from other

electronics tools or gadgets like music players,

gaming devices or televisions. Someone

requires a great deal of knowledge and an

advanced computing capability to actually create

something useful in a computer. How can

someone become an expert graphics designer

or programmer if s/he does not use computers

daily from the early age? The negative effects

that computers might bring are pretty ignorable

and are mostly health related issue that

someone can easily overcome with a little

awareness and prudent lifestyle. But this

negative effect is nowhere comparable with the

advancement and flexibility the computer

technology has bought for our life.

Young children who play games more than 7-8

hours or do unproductive tasks in a computer

are actually bringing more negative points that

learning the miracle machines. But think about a

child who learns programming, play games,

learn advanced computing 3-4 hours a day

would become a great computer professional

someday.

In conclusion, if the young people are spending

their time for entertainment purposes in front of

a computer, then s/he better be utilised in

somewhere else. But someone with the

determination to learn the computing and

advancing his/her knowledge about computer

software, hardware and networking would

become a skilled person for the upcoming future.

Hence the young people should be encouraged

to use computers daily to enhance their

knowledge while taking precaution so that this

habit does not affect their health.

Model Answer 3:

As the role of technology has been very crucial

in everyone's life, children have been

accustomed to the computers. One may say

using computers will give great knowledge to

computers or the more negatives than positives.

I believe using computers can have more

negative effects than advantages because the

computer makes children lazy and violent. If the

children become addicted to computers, they will

become lazy in their life and they will no longer

concentrate on other important things they have

to do. Day by day, as the computer steals their

valuable time, they will not show an interest in

studies and outdoor games. As a result, they will

not only become lazy but also they will not be

physically sound. For example, my father bought

me a personal computer when I finished my 10th

grade because I had got A+ in my 10th grade

public exams. As I become more habituated to a

computer, I became indolent to do my other

activities such as studies, sports and the other

extra routines. Consequently, my rank dropped

to A- in my 12th standard. If anyone tried to take

away my computer from me, I used to behave

violently. Kids act unnaturally if they want to own

these electronic machines. This creates

abnormal behaviours in children. In future, they

will not be social. On the other hand, their

important role in their schools will get damaged

if this continuous. Another major disadvantage

using computers is, children may use adult sites

(above 18 years old sites) instead of using a

computer for beneficial reasons. For example,

today almost in every website, there are ads

which promote dating services, adult contents,

etc. These ads and then the time spent on those

websites by a kid are enough to spoil a good

child. My conclusion is that the parents should

either supervise their children while using

computers, internet and encourage them to use

it for benefits or do not allow their children to use

computers. Otherwise, their children will have to

face a lot of problems.

Model Answer 4:

These days the computer has become a part of

many families. Though it is useful for every

member of the family in day to day life, its dark

side is more dangerous for the children. A child

learns maximum from his surroundings. It is

known that the computer provides massive

material for a child to learn new things at the

same time enjoy games. However, a computer

is not intelligent enough to filter the contents

based on the age of a person who is using it.

For instance, a child might search for an action

game on the internet and he might find the real

war videos. Frequently, watching such violent

videos could harm a child's character. For

example, a kid could be more aggressive in

future. Moreover, spending more time on a

computer could build an isolated attitude that a

child does not learn to socialise. Computers

support interesting games and videos so a child

would prefer to be in front of a computer as

much as possible and enjoy them. Perhaps this

could be one of the reasons that more and more

kids suffer from eyes problems these days.

Medical science has proved that a person blinks

his eyes lesser time that required while using the

computer. Apart from eyes, it could harm our

backside as well. While sitting in front of the

computer people do not realise that they are

constantly sitting in the same position for longer

hours which results in back pain problem. I

believe the computer is an amazing invention to

reduce human efforts. However, if it is used

excessively, it could turn into a weapon.

Model Answer 5:

Over the past few decades, the world has been

revolutionised with computerisation. In spite of,

this trend being a boon to the sectors like

Information Technology, Globalization and

Networking. It has now become a serious

deterrent for young children. This essay will

discuss its negative impacts on them. The

primary reason is that children are exposed to

several health hazards due to over indulgence in

the use of computers. Most of the kids

nowadays have eyesight problems. This is

because of too much exposure to the video

display units. For illustration, a child gets more

fascinated by playing computer games than

outdoor games which naturally makes them idle

for longer hours. The reason stated above sows

seeds for another connected problem,” lack of

physical activity”. The childhood days are meant

to be spent in a hale and healthy way by

involving in lots of energetic activities but this

has been changed completely with the advent of

computers. Further moving on the same track, a

lot more children are now being addicted to

social networking sites like Facebook and

Twitter. This is not all, they have become more

dependent on the internet for everything and are

likely losing their thinking ability. For instance,

the younger generation prefers surfing for the

details they require for an academic task like

assignment which may have been given to test

their imagination and cognitive skills. In a

nutshell, It is believed that computers are likely

causing more detrimental effects like vision,

physical activity and more dependency on the

internet. Thus, in my opinion, the ideal solution

for this could be taken by parents by reducing

the usage time of computer and restricting few

sites on the internet to make use of technology

in a constructive way.
