To a large extent, I believe that children are given too much free time. Free time, in my opinion, refers to time not spent under the direct supervision of a parent, teacher or a person entrusted with the responsibility of bringing up the child. Such time is often spent on several things such as watching television, playing with friends, going to parties, doing homework, playing games on their own among others. Among all of the above, a child could either be influenced by his or her peer group especially when left without attention or be influenced by what he or she watches on TV most of which are those not meant to be viewed by the child's age group. In my opinion, most of the formative years of a child should be spent doing schoolwork, engaging in recreational activities that would develop the child emotionally and mentally. I believe this strongly because at a young age, a child is quick to grasp most of what is seen or heard.
我在很大程度上认为，孩子们的确被给予了过多的空闲时间。 在我看来，空闲时间就是指不处于家长、教师或者监护人的直接监管之下的时间。而孩子们通常把这类时间花费在如看电视、和朋友一起玩、参加聚会、做家庭作业、自己玩游戏等事情上。 在上述环境中，孩子既可能受同龄人影响（特别是在缺乏关注的情况下），又可能受电视影响，而这些电视节目大部分属于儿童不宜。 在我看来，孩子的成长岁月最应该花在功课和对心智发展有益的休闲活动上。我之所以非常认同这一点，是因为孩子在小时候，能够快速理解所看到或听到的绝大部分事物。
