Argumentative Essay
I beleive that if children spend a lot of time watching TV, i.e. bout 5-6 hours every day, this will affect their studies. As a result, their performance at school will get worse.
Although some TV programs are very interesting, some of them bring bad messages; such as, stealing things and robbing banks, etc. Some TV programs even show fighting scenes. This will affect the mind of children. Last month, after child watched a TV programs and he imitated the character to fight with his brother. Finally he hurted himself.
There are also many advantages. We can learn more knowledge by watching TV than reading books. Some TV programs show programs relating to life skills. Some programs can also entertain us especially if they are very funny.
To conclude, there are both disadvantages and advantages of watching TV. If parents and children can work out a good plan together to watch TV in terms of the time and types of program, they will benefit eventaully.

Argumentative Essay on Advantages and Disadvantages of the Online Activities
Students today spend lot of time browsing the Internet and engaging in various online activities. There are more disadvantages than advantages in relation to the use of the Internet.
Firstly, students, especially teenagers spend too much time on Facebook, MSN, Blog, or Online games that are very attractive and even educational to them. As they use at least two to three hours every day, this has affected their studies. As a result, their marks may get worse.
Although games available in the Facebook are fun and interesting, some of them bring the message to steal or rob bank. Some online games even show fighting scenes. This pollutes youngster’s mind.
In addition, the youngsters become weak at socializing skill. They may have difficulty in communicating with others face-to-face. Last year, there was news about some teenagers playing computer games and not leaving home for nearly two years.
It is easy to imagine the negative effects of spending too much time browsing the Internet and engaging in various online activities. Clearly, the negative effects outweigh the positive ones.
