Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Playing computer games is a waste of time. Children should not be allowed to play them.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Computer games have become popular especially in children’s life because of the game strategies and appealing themes. However, I believe that children should be proscribed from playing computer games as it affects their academic performance and causes health issues.
First of all, when children are playing computer games, they pay more attention to those games than academics. Consequently, young people unable to focus on their assignments. This means devoting more time to playing consoles leads to inadequate time management and superficial completion of academic tasks. Therefore, children will get low grades in their tests. For example, I remember when I was in mid-high school at Amherst, I usually played video games regularly after my school hours. Thereby, I was completely involved in the game without knowing how time passed. Likewise, I spent more on playing and less on academics. As a result, I was running out of time for my class assignments so completed the activities without much dedication. Thus, I scored C grades for my assignments. Had I not utilized the time in playing computer games, I would have increased my performance in the class projects. In short, children should concentrate on academics than playing time-consuming computer games.
Second of all, children playing computer games is not only a sheer waste of time but also have a negative impact on their health. This means playing games on a computer causes strain on the eyes and it leads to redness of eyes, irritation, and headaches. Therefore, children should avoid computer games for promoting positive health. For example, my sister's son Sam who plays X box at his home continuously stares at the monitor while playing his X box. As a result of the radiation coming from the computer monitor, Sati's eyes were strained and caused him a headache. Hence, if children are allowed to play computer games, then they might end up with eye-related issues like poor vision or headaches. So, computer games should be prohibited for young people for their wellbeing.
In essence, I believe that children should be confined to playing computer games because it affects their academic performance and have a negative impact on their health.

I'm not completely sure what you're trying to say here about "game strategies" so a little context might be helpful.

I can tell that you've recently learned transition words at the beginning of sentences. While you use them well, I would recommend using more natural transitions. If you have two many sentences that start with "for example, therefore, thus, thereby" it really can hurt the flow of the writing and does not sound natural.
For example, my sister's son Sam whoconstantly plays X box at his home continuouslyome and stares at the monitor while playing his X box.
If your sister's son is your nephew, you could say, "For example my nephew Sam..."
As a result of the radiation coming from the computer monitorstaring at the monitor for hours, Sati's eyes weroften become strained and caused him a headache.
Is his name Sati or Sam?

Great writing! You have a pretty advance level so I've given you these comments about more stylistic things that are important to note as you improve your writing. I would especially encourage you to pay attention only employing transitory phrases when needed and find more creative ways to transition between ideas. Great job!
