3. Write an opinion essay (120-150 words) stating the opposite view

Gợi ý trả lời:

Digital devices play an essential part in teenagers' lives nowadays. I strongly believe that parents should not strictly limit their children's screen time for the following reasons.

First of all, the quality of screen time is more important than quantity. Teenagers can learn a lot of useful knowledge and necessary skills through online educational games and videos. For example, they can improve their language skills by watching English movies or develop problem-solving abilities through educational apps.

In addition, strict limitations may create unnecessary conflicts between parents and teenagers. When parents impose too many restrictions, teenagers may think their parents are not fair to them. This could widen the gap between family members and damage their relationship.

In conclusion, parents should focus on guiding their children to use digital devices wisely rather than strictly limiting screen time. This approach will help maintain family harmony while ensuring teenagers benefit from technology.
