阅读真题和雅思写作不得不说的关系：论据篇。

Topic：TV is an essential part of leisure activities in most families. However, some parents decide not to have a TV set in their homes, in order that their children will devote enough time to invention and creation. Do you agree or disagree with this attitude?

开头段：介绍文章背景，随着科学技术的发展，电视对人们的影响越来越大。

As science and technology accelerates, television, as a powerful invention, is becoming incredibly popular in people's daily life. People can be informed of the current affairs and appreciate the affluent programs at home. It seems to me that television will not whittle children's creativity as has been exaggerated.

主体段第一段：开始论述电视对小孩创造力的好处1，电视让小孩子们在家就能了解到世界上发生的事情，新的科技发展，这些都会激发孩子的创造力，给他们带来灵感。

To begin with, television is an effective means to make children acquainted with the latest news and enlightens them on the latest scientific advancement. Television reveals the recent development of some researches, such as the new computing technology, clone technology and genetic breakthroughs, which can inspire the imagination of children and motivate them to conduct relevant experiments, making new findings and breakthroughs in their familiar fields.

主体段第二段：论述电视对小孩创造力的好处2，一些冒险片可以培养小孩子的创造力，地理历史片通常是很有启发性的，可以扩大小孩子的知识面，丰富人生的经历。

Moreover, along with the emergence of information technology, the knowledge presented in textbooks cannot cater for children's curiosity any longer. Programs like adventures can cultivate children's creativity and the ability to tackle difficulty. Some scientific, detective and documental programs, like Discovery and National Geographic, are so enlightening and fascinating that even little children can be absorbed in. Other well-chosen programs can initiate teenagers' aspiration to know about the nature and stimulate their interests in science and technology.

主体段第三段：论述看电视对孩子创造力带来的坏处，可能会让孩子习惯被动接受信息，而不是自己学会发现。而且有的电视节目要不然就是理解起来太复杂，要不然就是不够有趣，因此看电视并不是一个好的开发创造力的方法。

There is suspicion in some parents' minds that TV might retard their children's creative ability or restrain kids' imagination because TV viewers tend to receive information in a passive way instead of discovering things with their own hands. Although people in the TV industry have made great efforts to develop various programs, the outcome is not satisfactory: either the program is too profound to be understood or the topic is not interesting to attract TV audiences. Thus, watching TV is hardly a good way to inspire children's creativity. In many cases, it can draw attention away from their studies and spoil their school education.

主体段第四段：还有一些别的方法也可以用来刺激创造力，比如写作，想象和原型描述也可以激发新的想法。

There are some other ways to stimulate children's creativity, such as writing, visualizing and prototyping, which can boost the flow of new ideas. Something as simple as writing deepens every individual's engagement. This is why all those competitions on breakfast cereal packets encourage us to write in saying good comments. The very act of writing makes us more likely to believe it.（稍作修改，用在这里做论据）

主体段第五段：权威并不是抑制创新，但实际上却经常如此。错误的领导方式会导致团队成员倾向于选择不承担本应属于他们的责任。

Authority does not have to inhibit innovation but it often does. The wrong kind of parenting will lead to the regrettable tendency of children to opt out of team responsibilities that are properly theirs.（稍作修改，用在这里做论据）

结尾段：总结上文，表达自己的观点，电视并不会对小孩的创造力有不利的影响。

In a word, it is my strong belief that television will not impair children's creativity as is asserted. Nevertheless, the government and the whole society should exert to eliminate the unhealthy contents on TV and ensure the children with a favorable growing environment.
