American boys and girls love to watch television. Some children spend six hours a day in school and four to six hours a day in front of the television. Some even watch television for eight hours or more on Saturday.

Televisions are like books or films. A child can learn both bad things and good things from them. Some programs help children to understand（理解）the news; others show people and places from other countries or other time in history. With television a child does not have to go to the zoo to see animals or go to the ocean to see ships. Boys and girls can see a play, a concert or a game at home.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says that 80% of the world’s teenagers don’t get enough exercise to live healthy lives. It did research on students aged from 11 to 17 in 146 countries for about eight years and got the result.

Doctors say 60 minutes of exercise a day is important for teenagers to build up their strength（力量）. It’s also good for their hearts and lungs（心肺）. Also, teenagers won’t become fat through exercise. What’s more, more and more research is showing that exercise doesn’t just help with the body. It can help with the mind, too-making people think better and helping students get better grades.

Trevor Shilton working for the Heart Foundation in Australia says that doing exercise is really important, and he also says. “If this were a medicine, we would all take it.”

However, it’s not easy. Now many teenagers find it very difficult to stay away from smartphones, computers or televisions. In their free time, they talk with friends online, play online games and watch interesting TV programs. WHO says that young people need to play less in the online world and play more in the real world.

Health experts want schools and families to ask teenagers to do more exercise. Doctors also say that teens can do 20 minutes of exercise three times a day to get 60 minutes of exercise.
