I agree to the statement that children should take part in more outdoor activities. This is because children nowadays are all more interested in computer games. They would spend hours with their eyes glued onto the screen and refuse to stop. Engaging in more outdoor activities will allow the child to expose to newer things and get closer to nature. Children may also learn more about the environment and get exposed to more things rather than sitting infront of a computer monitor.

With the introduction of online games like maple, gunbound and dota, more children may get addicted to them as they can not oonly enjoy the game but also chat with others online. Normally, friends would agree to play together and this would be more interesting than playing alone. Thus, these children may becomer addicted to computer games as it can be a common topic in school the next day. Also, some children might play that particular game to fit into their friends' conversation topic the next day.

However, there are some disadvantages of these games. Playing computer or video games may lead to addiction where children are overly engrossed with the moving animation inside the monitor that they refuse to stop. Staring at the computer for long hours is not good for the eyes and may cause myopia. Also, playing computer games for long hours may result in the child not concentrating during lessons the next day. He/She may be thinking about the game during lesson and not pay attention to what the teacher is teaching. And if the child is sacrificing his/her sleep to play computer games, he/she may feel sleepy the next day and might fall asleep during lesson time. This way, the child's academic results may drop drastically.

Therefore, there is a need to urge children to take part in more outdoor activities.
