The bar chart below illustrates the fluctuating numbers of children watching TV daily from 1998 to 2008. Overall, the trend initially declined and then rocketed in the final years. In the first six years of this decade, the percentage dramatically dropped by nearly 30%, reaching a bottom of around 50%. In the following years, however, the percentage almost doubled and peaked at 80% in 2008. There are (how many?) possible reasons for this trend. The introduction of the internet and video games may result in a significant descent in TV viewing. Boring programmes cannot attract underagers any more. Yet, since the High Definition television was introduced to everybody and more interesting programs are being played on each children’s channel, kids are pulled back in front of television again, like old days.

To sum up, it can be clearly seen that watching TV plays a vital role in children’s daily life. Consequently, there should be more educational programs for kids. Clark, I have changed some of your mistakes in green
