Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Movies and television have more negative effects than positive effects on the way young people behave.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
As the development of the internet technology, more and more ways can be found by teens to watch a movie or television programs. Some people argue that these have a negative effect to teenagers' behaviour. Generally, I agree with this opinion. In several aspects the video programs do influent young people in a bad way.
Firstly, teenagers sometimes learn some bad behaviors throught movies or TV programs. As we all know, one of the most common ways for young peoples to learn new things is by emulating. Nowadays, to attract more audience, most videos are trying to bring more exite. As a consequence, they are now full of violence, crimes, and so on. As a result, after watching such videos, teens may unsupprisingly learn to be violent or even try to do some illegal things.
Secondly, teens usually spend too much time in watching videos. As the videos nowadays is very attractive, many would get addicted. The story of one of my cousins is a very good example. He is now in his freshmen year of a college, but he failed the final test of a vital complementary course, which make him loose the scholarship and the opportunity to directly get into a grad school without any test. He was a good student when he was in the middle school, or he wouldn't make it to such a good college. What makes him flip to such a bad example is his addiction to TV programs. As far as I know, he had spend all his semester in his room watching videos like Sherlock, Rick and Morty, etc. He even didn't show up in a great portion of his classes.
Some would say that some programs like Discovery, which is a great documentary series, may help students learn more useful knowledge. However, they usually have some other better choices. One of the greatest shortage of learning from TV programs is that most of the programs are decorated for better effect. Instead of learning from documentaries, text books may be a better option, in which a student could learn systematically and accurately what the truth is.

With the development of the internet technology, more and more ways can be found by teens to watch a film or a television program. Some people argue that these activities have a negative effect to teenagers' behaviour. Generally, I agree with this opinion. In several aspects the video programs do influent young people bad.
Firstly, teenagers sometimes learn imporper behaviors through movies or TV programs. As we all know, one of the most common ways for young peoples to learn new things is by emulating. Nowadays, to attract more audience, most videos are trying to bring more exite. Consequently, they are now more or less full of violent or bloody scenes, crimes, sex, and so on. As a result, with such videos, frequency of teen crimes may be unsupprisingly raised.
Secondly, teens usually spend too much time in watching videos. As the videos nowadays is very attractive, many would easily get addicted. The story of one of my cousins is a very good example. He has just finished his last year in senior high school and has had a college enrollment exam, which is vital for his admission. However, he failed the exam, and had to apply for some colleges in a lower class. He was a really good student when he was in the middle school, in which he always ranked in top 3 of his class, until his being addicted to TV programs. As far as I know, he had spend all his semester in his room watching videos like Sherlock, Rick and Morty, etc. He even didn't show up in a great portion of his classes. Althrough, frankly speaking, it's my cousin fault, who shouldn't watch too much entertaining videos, the videos did occupy his time and his supervisors like teachers and parents are supposed to take efforts to keep him from addiction.
Some would say that some videos like Discovery, which is a great documentary series, may help students learn more useful knowledge. However, they usually have some other better choices. Learning from TV programs has several disadvantages compared to other options like text books. For example, most of the videos are decorated by untruth for better effect, and they usually break the whole knowledge chain into several parts. Therefore, students learn from documentaries may find the information provided is misleading or confusing. Like stated before, instead of learning from documentaries, text books may be a better option, in which a student could learn systematically and accurately.

---------------------
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
