You should write at least 250 words.

It's generally believed that outdoor activities are more advantageous than games on computers. Different people would have different viewpoints but I totally agree with this opinion for the following reasons.

It is justifiable that lots of people advocate this opinion. Computer games are quite harmful as they may have a bad impaction on the children. For example, kids are easily addicted to games and would spend the whole day sitting on the chair just to play games. This would lead to a habit of living a sedentary lifestyle, deterioration in health especially visionary. Also, some of the kids are even obsessed with the games and can not differentiate between reality and the games. These children may have to suffer mental health problems such as paranoids, craze,...

On the other hand, activities outside are much more beneficial. One reason for this is these activities are great ways to exercise our body and mind. Participating in outdoor events means that you will be exposed to the sun, receiving enough needed Vitamins like Vitamin C, E, ... which will do wonders to your health. In addition, join in the events can help children to broaden the knowledge, extend their social circle, sharpen their soft skills. Not only for our physical health but also our mental health is beneficial. Because of the fast pace of life, children are being put under a lot of pressure, having the opportunity to take part in outdoor activities is a way to relieve stress, which plays an important role in a child's growth.

Taking everything into consideration, events that happen outdoor are much more advantageous to the development of the children in comparison with computer games.
