1. ||D|| Many teenagers nowadays spend too much time on digital devices. I firmly believe that parents should strictly limit their screen time for two reasons. 2. ||C|| First of all, teenagers who spend a lot of time on screens are less likely to finish their homework. If parents limit their screen time, teenagers will have more time not only for learning, but also for outdoor activities. 3. ||A|| In addition, too much screen time is bad for teenagers’ health. Looking at a computer or smartphone screen for a long time can damage their eyesight and cause headaches. Too much screen time may also lead to sleep and weight problems. 4. ||B|| In conclusion, I think that parents need to control the time their teenage children spend on digital devices.

3. Write an opinion essay (120–150 words) stating the opposite view
Suggested answer:
Digital devices play an essential part of teenagers’ lives nowadays. I strongly believe that parents should not strictly limit their screen time for the following reasons. First of all, I think that by limiting the use of technology, parents will also limit what teens can benefit from it. In fact, teenagers can learn a lot of useful knowledge and necessary skills through online educational games and videos. In addition, when teenagers’ screen time is strictly controlled by their parents, the gap between parents and children may become wider. Teenagers may think that their parents are very mean and not fair to them, and may refuse to talk to them. In conclusion, I believe that it is not a good idea for parents to strictly limit their teenagers’ screen time. Teens can benefit from screen activities that encourage learning and parents can develop a better relationship with their children if they don’t control the time spent on electronic devices.
