答案 Some people think that computers do not help children learn more effectively. The use of computers in schools has negative effects on children’s physical and mental development. Personally, I am not in favour of the point. I think children can benefit a lot from using computers. Now there appear good educational softwares that enable children to develop and practise some fundamental skills. They can help them learn, for example, about letters, numbers, shapes, and rhythm. Good softwares can also help children develop their procedural thinking and creative expression. Besides, computers help children to be in control of their experience, to set their own pace, and to select the level of challenge with which they feel comfortable. They learn more effectively with the aid of computers than only by means of traditional techniques. It is also good for children’s mental development to use computers in schools. By using computers children develop self-confidence and self-esteem as they master computer skills. And they will build positive attitudes toward technology. In addition, in the classroom setting children often prefer working with one or two partners overworking alone, which leads to the development of social skills. It is true that frequent and prolonged computer sessions may pose physical health risks for children, such as harmful effects of radiation, and posture and skeletal problems. In the case of normal usage and normal operating conditions, however, research has shown that computer monitors are safe and do not harm our eyes and that computer monitors emit little or no harmful radiation. To sum up, computers are good tools for children in study and beneficial to children’s mental and physical health.
