Why we should get more than one hour of screen time a day

In writing, we have been doing persuasive writing. this is a build-up for when we do our speeches. This is my second persuasive writing and we could choose out of some options that you can be for or against. I chose to be against the one that I chose. I think that I have done well on this topic because it is quite a hard topic. If I have done anything wrong or you think that I can do anything better please comment.

Screen time for children shouldn’t be limited to one hour a day.

Hello, I’m Dylan and I am going to talk to you why we should get more than one hour of screen time a day. I think that we should get more than one hour and I have got reasons to back myself up.

Firstly, I think that we should get about two hours of learning on devices and one hour for playing games on a device. A Canadian study shows that a child between eight and 11 should have 60 minutes of physical activity, two hours of screen time and nine to 11 hours of sleep. I think that this is quite close to what I think is right. 

Secondly, It can give kids time to relax if they have had a hard day and if they are really tired, they can have some time to chill out. And if they are really sad they can have some time out on their favourite game. There are also educational websites like Epic reading and Mathletics and you can write stories on google docs. You can also do research on Google and Safari. 

Thirdly, You can learn a lot of things and you can ‘meet’ other people on their blogs and become pen pals and they might be able to visit you from other countries. You could also do video chats and speak to each other after school if you are in a time zone where you are awake at the same time. 

After this, do you think that children should get more than 1 hour of screen time a day? Because if you do, then, in my opinion, you are right.
