 Q. As Roshan/ Roshni, Write a speech. to be delivered in your School assembly on the topic, ‘Impact of television on children’, with reference to Unit 6 Tinsel World of My English Reader. You may take the help of the given hints. (100-150 words)

• Television influences the thought and behaviour of of an individual. 
• The positive or negative impact of television depends on selection of programmes.
• Watching too much of television affects health, eyes, mental development etc
• One can gain a lot of knowledge through educative and informative programmes.
• Children try to imitate the characters. 

Respected Principal, My worthy teachers and dear friends. A very good morning to all. Today I am here to (share my views on) speak on impact of television on children.

Universally speaking, since the decades, television has been the most popular source of entertainment for people of almost all age groups including children. Various programmes on TV transported the viewers into virtual world, which are more exciting and engaging than real life. They enjoy various programmes, movies based on various themes etc. They gain a lot of knowledge through various educative and informative programmes such as dicovery, National Geographic and Animaĺ Planet shows various facts related to science, which provide them live reflection of their bookish knowledge. They also get an inspiration to raise their voice against social evils or any injustice.

On the other hand, television is a powerful medium that influences the thoughts and behaviour of the children. That is to say, that they are watching more crime and violent scenes which will indulge in them and tend to do the same in their real life. Besides, it will make them addicted to bad habits such as smoking, drnking, violence etc. Consequently, they are under the feeling of aggression and irritability. Additionally, it has negative impact on young kid's physical development and consistently watching TV may leads to degradation of academic performance and values.  What’s more, watching too much TV leads to many health problems such as obesity, weak eye sight, slow mental development etc. The last but not the least, children try to intimate the characters or various stunts shown by the actors in the films, putting their life in danger.

Therefore, it would be wrong to say that the impact of television on children is always negative. The positive or negative impact of television depends on selection of programs that children watch. What type of programmes children watch make all the difference.

Thank you.

Schools are considered as the temple of learning and play an immense role in shaping an individual. School life is the best time of one’s life. The main aim of schools is to train individuals to become suitable for a profession. Also, they are responsible for the overall development of individuals.

To initiate with, a school is the foundation of an educational journey of an individual. It covers pre primary, primary and secondary education. It is the school that prepares him for higher education and (and train him to become suitable for profession.) thus help in fulfilling his desired profession. To say is, basic concepts of various subjects are clarified in schools by the teachers. Along with academics, children participate in various co curricular and activities such as art and painting, dancing, singing and various competitions organised in the schools. They also indulge in sports activities such as chess, basket ball, volleyball etc. All these instill a competitive spirit, that helps them in future to crack various competitive examinations.

Besides education and co curricular activities, a school helps individuals to prepare for the future by teaching them essential life skills and inculcating values such as time management, goal setting, team building, problem solving, decision making etc. Value based education and morals are also given due importance in schools.
