Video Games

Before televisions are widely used, children mostly like doing outdoor activities rather than staying at home and having nothing to do. However, children nowadays have some different amusements.

Most of them think that doing outdoor activities is uninteresting. They prefer playing video games, which have rapidly grown into big entertainment in the past decade. Some of them like to go to public entertainment places where "Arcade Games" are offered. Some prefer staying home and playing "TV Games" or "PC Games." Some young kids even can play video games anywhere and anytime because they have "Handheld Games" like "Game boy." (Perhaps there is no Game boy now; it has been replaced by "PSP".)

Anyway, for some people, video games have become an important part of life even if there are many people think it is not a good past time activities for young children. And I have to say there are a lot of children live in a good and happy material life but they don't even know that.

Cartoons

Like most young kids, I loved watching cartoons when I was a little boy. Nowadays, almost every child watches cartoons unless there is no television in their house. Children like cartoons because most cartoons make them happy.

I think children would like to watch cartoons most because of those fancy or cute characters. And sometimes cartoons not only can entertain children but also can bring them a lot of imagination. Though, there are still many parents forbid their children to watch cartoons. I think it's unnecessary. They may think it's a good way to keep their children away those garbage TV programs. Yes, it's a kind of ways. But, it's not that good.

I think children deserve to have a happy childhood with some cartoons. Otherwise, it would be a pity when they grow up and think of this. They won't be able to chat about how interesting those cartoons are with their friends. And they might feel kind of embarrassed just because they don't even know a famous cartoon character. Anyway, I think it's a good thing for children to watch cartoons. If parents afraid that their children might learn something bad from TV programs, then just make a good time arrangement for them and make sure that they won't watch too mush TV.
