本次题目中给出了两个观点：

一、看电视对孩子来说，全都是不好的；

二、看电视对孩子的发展有好处。

很明显，我们可以这样来构思这篇作文： 首先，讨论看电视对孩子产生的多种坏处，比如对眼睛不好，而且造成缺乏锻炼，同时容易变得很孤僻。 其次，讨论看电视对孩子成长的好处，比如学习各类知识，培养语言能力等。

自己的观点：看电视对孩子的成长有利，因此看电视并非一无是处，但是父母和学校应该控制孩子看电视的时间，让孩子多参加看电视之外的其他活动。

高分范文

Spending too much time in front of TV is certainly a bad thing for children. In the first place, it may affect their health. Actually many children become short-sighted simply because they watch too much TV. Besides, sitting in front of TV for too long will also rob children of time for other physical activities, which in turn will lead to such diseases as diabetes and obesity. Another bad thing about watching TV is that children may become isolated from the outside world. Without adequate interaction with other children, they do not know how to get along with people, and this will make them less competitive in job market when they grow up. Yet this does not mean children should be prevented from watching TV completely. In fact, if properly handled, watching TV may be beneficial for children’s development, both intellectually and spiritually. From TV, children can acquire a great variety of knowledge about history, animals, environment, culture, to name just a few. Research shows that children who watch TV always excel those who do not in terms of language skills, too. In addition, as TV programs often try to tell the viewers some moral lessons in vivid ways, it is comparatively easy for children who watch TV to learn how to tell right from wrong and therefore become spiritually strong. It is, therefore, an overstatement to claim that watching TV is bad for children in every way. But watching too much TV is definitely very bad. So teachers and parents should see to it that children watch the right kind of TV programmes, and set a limit on children’s TV time to make sure that they do not watch TV more than is good for them.
