IELTS ESSAY TOPIC-20

 

Nowadays, most children prefer to spend several hours playing with electronic devices over doing more traditional leisure activities. What problem does this cause? And what do you think are the possible solutions?

 

In this globalizing era, the traditional methods of doing things are changing and evolving. Earlier, seeing children running across the streets and playing in the grounds was a common view. But in the recent times, children are more  involved in playing with the electronic devices while sitting at home.

 It is true to state that the amount of joy children have while playing with their electronic devices is much less than the cons this activity might have on them. Spending  several hours looking at a screen affects children’s eyes  and also gives them severe headaches. In addition to this, no physical activity is included in a child's lifestyle nowadays which is a cause for major health problems. For example, obesity has now become common among today’s children. Besides, more involvement in playing video games or play stations, have made children  socially inactive. They are more engrossed in themselves instead of making new friends or spending time with their families. 

Based on the aforementioned explanations, it is surely now high time that today’s children understand the importance of doing more traditional leisure activities than spending their time just sitting at their homes and  playing on their small screens. Some solutions for this issue may include productive parental guidance. Parents must make their children understand the benefits of playing games which supports their academic growth. They can set a time limit for their children playing their videogames. Schools and societies can also help in solving this problem, for instance, arranging trips or field visits is a fruitful way to do so. organising some sort of physical workshops containing some mind games and other tasks might also help children in logic building and engaging themselves  in more traditional activities. 

Therefore, it can be concluded that children spending their time on video games and other electronic devices is a growing prevalence. But with correct steps taken , this problem can be solved and children can understand how essential physical activities are.
