سطح اول - آیلتس 5-4 (A2 - B1)
A British agency writes a report. It says that children are using electronics more and more. Some very young children have tablets. They use them over an hour a day. Some older children use their electronics for many hours a week.
A psychologist says that parents need to set rules. These rules say when and where their children can use their electronics. A mother says that her children argue with her when she asks them to get off the electronics.
No one knows how much time is OK for children to use electronics. However, they should not use them for very long.
