Watching too much TV is really harmful for our eyes. It can
41
also give us headaches. It makes us lazy. We spend hours in
front of television every day and we don’t do any physical

activities. We don’t do exercise, walk, run or go outside to
get some fresh air. We eat junk food. We sit or lie down

on a sofa for hours. These are not good. Too much screen
time is also bad for our mental development. We don’t read

enough and we don’t do things to improve our creativity
and intelligence. Too much TV also has bad effects on our

social life. We don’t spend enough time with our family and
friends. In addition, some TV programmes aren’t good. We

don’t learn anything from them. We can see examples of bad behaviour and violence in some
TV programmes and commercials.

We should limit the hours of watching TV for a healthy lifestyle. We should read, do exercise
and get involved in outdoor activities such as sports or picnics. We should also socialise with

our family and friends.
