Most children like to watch cartoons on TV because of the funny characters and the bright colors. But is it good for children to watch cartoons on TV?
Some people think it leaves nothing for children to imagine when they watch cartoons on TV. They can see the different characters so they need not imagine the appearance of a character or any situation in the cartoon.
But when reading a book, the child has to imagine what the different characters look like. He has to imagine a place or a situation described in the story he is reading, so the imaginative power of the child improves.
Very little children may not be able to read books. But they will be happy to watch TV, especially cartoons.
Watching cartoons will improve their language ability. As most of the cartoons are in English, watching them will improve their English. They will learn to understand the conversations. Their vocabulary will get improved. They will learn how to pronounce different words. Their spoken English will also get greatly improved. These are the advantages(好处) of watching cartoons.
But there should be a limit(限制) to everything. Parents should control their children's time on TV. However, you cannot keep children from watching TV completely. It will only do more harm than good.
