 Controlling Children Using Computer
EE
XX Computer and internet are useful as well as powerful. Information about
AA health and safe usage of computer and Internet, especially for children, should be
M owned by each family. Computer connected to internet is powerful way to socialize
M
with others. It can be good but also bad effect. Recently we hear a lot of children get
PP the advantage of social networking sites but we often see the news about the
LL disadvantage of it for children. Healthy and safety of computer and Internet usage
EE should continue to be campaigned.
The role of parent in assisting and directing children in using computer is very
necessary. Installation of software monitor such as key logger which has function to
watch and note all activities relating to keyboard usage is helpful but not enough to
protect children from potential harms. Children tend to hide what they have done in
front of the computer to their parent. They see that all of they have done are their
privacy and no one may know.
We can not prevent children from using computer because it is
multifunctional. However, many parents worry about what their kids do in front of
the computer; whether they are doing homework or even just playing games. Or
spending all time to surf internet which is the materials do not fit with his age. There
is a tendency, especially teenagers, want to become acquainted with many strangers
out side. The lack parental supervision of children’s activities is likely to pose a
potential danger to them. So parental monitor against the use of computers needs to
be done from time to time.

 Three Levels of Government
EXAMPLE
In Australia there are three levels of
government: the federal government, state
governments, and local governments. All of
these levels of government are necessary.
This is so for a number of reasons.

are necessary.
 Using relational process

Ex: My name is Taro. I am 12 years old.

These clauses use relational Processes, which “serve to characterize

and to identify”
These two categories may also be termed attributive, such as Taro
characterized as a member of that class of beings called ’12 years
olds’, and identifying, such as the identity of the person named
‘Taro’.

Using Simple Present Tense

S + v1 + s/es

 Using compound and complex sentence.

• The Compound Sentence

A compound sentence is made up of two independent clauses joined
by a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, or so) and a
comma or by a semicolon alone.
Example: The pirate captain lost her treasure map, but she still found
the buried treasure
Lorem ipsum dolor sit
Your Title Here amet, consectetur
• The Complex Sentence
adipiscing elit. Cras nunc
A complex
mi, sollicitudin quis ipsum sentence combines a dependent clause with an
a, mollis mollis tortor. Ut
independent
sodales felis id tellus clause. When the dependent clause is placed before the
independent
porttitor sodales. clause, the two clauses are divided by a comma;
otherwise, no punctuation is necessary.
Example: Because the soup was too cold, I warmed it in the
microwave.
