Writing Task 2 - Playing games and spending less time on sports

Hi, please help me with this essay. Thank you so much :3

Today, many children spend a lot of time playing computer games and little time on sports. What are the reasons for this and is it a positive or negative development?

Nowadays, many children are addicted to computer games and spend less time on doing exercises. In my opinion, this movement may trigger bad effects on human’s health and there are some reasons can be attributed to this problem.

On the one hand, uncontrolled accessing to the internet and lacking parenting supervision are the undoubtful contributors to the addiction to video games and insufficient physical practices. Firstly, in the light of explosion of technology, children easily access to games and get attracted to them uncontrollably. They spend most of their time on play game sections without focusing on physical training because they think video games give them the sense of glory or brave characters they are acting as. Virtual battles has theirs attractiveness more than a tedious and exhausting real sports in a yard, for example. Secondly, parents are busy with their business and do not provide enough care for their kids, therefore, their children may have the opportunities to escape the strict supervision. Children are smart, they create their shells to cover their track of playing computer games, and the more secretly they are hiding, the more excited they get. Hardly busy parents with less care detect their behaviour until they find out and their kids was seriously trapped in virtual world.

On the other hand, the above-mentioned problems cause serious influences to children’s well-being. Obviously, when they eschew doing real and practical exercises in favour of playing games, prolonged exposure to computer screen may drive reduced eyesight and lead to some difficulties in studying and working in the future. Another unwanted impact when kids avoid practical exercises in lieu of playing video games is the mental health issue. They are involved in too much unreal situations and their brains are technically working around these things, they may be mentally freezed. As a result, children may lose their abilities to perform normal tasks and they are posing at risk of some diseases such as obesity or heart attack.

In conclusion, there are some reasons can be contributed to development of playing video games instead of spending less time on doing sports and I believe that this development may cause a range of bad effects on children’s lives; therefore, some proper solutions should be introduced to deal with this problem.
