40. Some parents think that having a computer at home will help their children to get a better education (Ñî÷èíåíèÿ ÅÃÝ àíãëèéñêèé ÿçûê)

Nowadays, the majority of people have a computer at home. More and more children start using it for studying. Not everybody shares this attitude though, considering that using gadgets is a bad idea for education.

In my opinion, computers might help people to get a better education. Firstly, children have an opportunity to find everything they want in the Internet. It makes an educational process easier. Moreover, sometimes you cannot find the information in the books from a library.

Secondly, in the past people had to search for information in books. This process could continue for hours and sometimes did not finish with success. In our time students are able to find the information really fast.

However, some people think otherwise. They believe that computers are very harmful for children’s education, since they spend a lot of time looking at the screen. It might affect students’ eyesight negatively.

Nevertheless, I do not agree with the above argument, but I have to admit that it makes some sense. I cannot reject the fact that computers can make your health worse, but if you follow some rules, it would not be a problem. For example, you should take a break for some time while working on the computer.

To sum up, I am definitely sure that using computers is a good idea for educating yourself because there is a lot of information in the worldwide web which can help with studying. In addition, this way of searching for the necessary data saves a lot of precious time.
