Pros and Cons on Video Games

Nowadays, the video game industries are developing rapidly. They have become multi-billion
dollar industries. Video games have become an important part not only of children’s lives but
also of adults’. Nevertheless, there there are some arguments whether video games have a
good or a bad influence on children.
People who believe in the good influence of video games say that video games kill children’s
boredom and refresh their minds after atiring school day. These games encourage children to
be more creative because the games challenge children to win. The games sharpen their
brains.
On the other hand, video games discourage children from studying. They find it hard to
concentrate on their studies because the games they play are on their minds during scholl.
Some children even skip their extracurricular activities to play games.
In addition, video games too often expose children to violance. Two years ago, a student in the
U. S. A shot his teacher and some of his friends. Newspaper said that the boy was deeply
influenced by violence in video games he used to play.
It is obvious that video games have many more disadvantages than advantages. So, parents
should be careful in selecting appropriate games for their children.

KEGIATAN BELAJAR 3

Choose one of these following issue then write a discussion text based on the issue
you have chosen.
a. Living in the city
b. Infotainment programmes on TV
c. The National Examination
d. Beauty Pageants

To make a good and meaningful discussion text:

a. use contrastive words
b. mention a good side of the topic

Title Living in the city

Issue
Living in a big city has both advantages and
disadvantages
On the plus side, it is often easier to find work,
and there is usually a choice of public transport,
so you don’t need to own a car. Also, there are a
lot of interesting to do and places to see.
Argument ‘for’ For example, you can eat in good restaurants,
visit the museums, and go to the theater and to
concerts. What is more, when you want to relax,
you can usually find a park where you can feed
the ducks or just sit on a park bench and read a
book. All in all, city life is full of bustle and
variety and you need never feel bored.
Elaboration
Argument ‘against’ However, for every plus there is a minus. For one
thing, you might have a job, but unless it is very
well paid, you will not be able to afford many of
the things that there are to do, because living in
a big city is often very expensive.
It is particularly difficult to find good, cheap
accommodation. What is more, public transport
is sometimes crowded and dirty, particularly in
the rush hour, and even the parks can become
very crowded, especially on Sundays when it
seems that every city dweller is looking for some
open space and green grass. Last of all, despite
all the crowds, it is still possible to feel very
lonely in a city.

Elaboration
Conclusion In conclusion, I think that city life can be
particularly appealing to young people, who like
the excitement of the city and don’t mind the
noise and pollution. However, many people,
UKBM Bahasa dan Sastra Inggris, Pasangan KD 3.6/4.6

when they get older, and particularly when they

have young children, often prefer the peace and
fresh air of the countryside.
