TPO-34 - Independent Writing Task Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Educating children is a more difficult task today than it was in the past because they spend so much time on cell phone, online games, and social networking Web site.U

We are living in a modern society with the invention of the internet, which provides people with various entertainments such as online games and social networking web sites. These entertainments make educating children a more difficult task today than it was in the past, because they spend a lot of time on them. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.
First of all, children do not totally pay attention to the lecture of teachers. As far as I am concerned, children can more easily be distracted from their studies by entertainments, such as Facebook, or online games, especially when they have to study the subjects, in which they are not interested in. Moreover, children tend to think that they can find a number of information on the internet rather than concentrate on the textbooks or teachers’ lectures. For example last week I had an opportunity to attend a class in a high school. In the class, the teacher conveyed to students knowledge about William’s poem. While the teacher was lecturing, students were playing games and chatting with their friends. Eventually, when the teacher asked them some questions, none of them could answer these questions, because they did not focus on the lecture at all.
Secondly, when children spend too much time on the internet, they will be limited the ability to create new things. It is no doubt that today students do not need to learn how to calculate numbers as people calculated before. All they need to do is just ask Google or use a calculator. Moreover, children spend a lot of time chatting with their friends or playing games, so they have very little time to study and review their notes. Therefore, when they have to do their exams, they study hastily; as a result, their understanding about subjects is not deep.
Educating children is vitally important in every era. However, most children do not understand enough. They spend a lot of time on playing games or social networking web sites, which are harmful to them. I strongly believe that educating children nowadays is harder than before.

---------------------
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:

para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.

So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:

reasons == advantages or

reasons == disadvantages

for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.

or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
