On the other hand,failure time and time again can lead to the problem of low morale and low self-esteem which can lead to a person becoming more shut off from the world and shift from the growth midset to the fixed mindset where we believe that we cannot change ourselves which can lead to a slowed progress of learning.However,In moderation,failure can help us to learn faster by teaching us humility which makes us fear failure less so we are more willing to learn despite the chance of failure.It can also help us to keep sight of our goals to stop us from straying off from putting in effort to improve ourselves as they remind us that we can still be better.

Although many people do concur that we should learn from failure, there is a small group that thinks otherwise. Failure often results in negative feelings of one. A person who failed at something he had been confident about all along often causes one to lower his self-esteem and may even result in more severe cases such as suicidal thoughts. Imagine a student that has been scoring high marks for Mathematics and in a recent major exam, he failed. This failure would definitely hit him hard with all the high expectations of others and himself. Sometimes, failure may even result in unfavorable effects on one's state of mind. For instance, a study from the Mental Health Organisation shows that the percentage of people getting depression because of failures increased from 12% in 2015 to 30% in 2019. This clearly illustrate how failure could negatively impact one's mental state. Despite the fact that learning from failure is beneficial, there is indeed disadvantages of learning from failure. However, failures are still part and partial of life, everyone should still face their own downfalls and grow through these unique experiences.

Jeevan                                               Stand: Like Yoda once said " the greatest teacher, failure is." Failure can be the greatest teacher but only if people are willing to learn from it.

Counterargument: Some argue that when someone experiences failure they lose their motivation to carry on whatever they are doing and that it could even end up affecting their confidence and self-esteem.     Rebuttal: While I agree that failure can be disheartening I also feel that it is necessary in ones life so that they can properly reflect and learn from their mistakes which ultimately makes them a better person.A grade report released by Prinston University showed that 85 percent of students who had failed in their first year had passed with flying colours when they retook the course.In some cases when a person experiences failure instead of being disheartened they may use it as a powerful force for self improvement. People should not fear failure or shun those who have experienced it. Instead we should openly embrace it and in the process reflect upon why we failed and improve ourselves. After all, failure is what makes us human.

In some cases, electronic devices may not help students with their studies. In class, electronic devices may distract students and may potentially cause them to miss out important details or notes. As more online games are increasingly popular among teens such as ‘Mobile Legends’ and ‘ Call of Duty’, teens may not be able to control their temptations to use their phones in class, hence distracting them. Individually, online sites like ‘Google’ may contain false information, bringing across the wrong message to students. However, this only affects a small group of students. In class, with the proper guidance and instructions from the teachers, all the inappropriate phone uses can he controlled. For example, teachers can impose rules and consequences for the misuse of phones such as confiscation of handphones. Teachers can also safe keep students handphones so no distractions takes place. This may cause students to be more serious and careful when using their phones. With this in place, it can certainly boost the benefits of electronic devices.

Even though electronic devices benefit students on a daily basis there are disadvantages tied with it as well. The main problem is that electronic devices such as mobile phones are a major distractions to students. If students bring their phones to school they will have the temptation to check their notifications or social media accounts. This causes them to lose their focus during class time and will miss out a lot. This temptation will also become a part of their daily routine and even at home they will be glued onto the screens of their electronic devices.

However this can be countered easily with a variety of options that can help with this addiction at one’s disposal. For example parents could install an application that limits the amount of time a student can use for one day at what time he can use during the day. This will help to get students controlled and to be able to resist the temptation to use their phones during class hours

Remember that time when you're trying to do serious talk with your parents, but they don't take you seriously because "You are still a child"?.                                                            Or when you were wronged and wanted to prove yourself innocent with your parents but they just shut you off because "you weren't respecting the elderly"?                   These are the possible scenarios happening when you're parents still treat you as a child and does not respect your opinion which makes you very frustrated because you are already in your teenage years, am a young adult and have your own opinion.               This damages the image of your parents in your mind because you feel that your opinion is not valued, and may over time develop a sense of hatred to your parents, souring your relationship. Thus Parents should not let children be children       Also, this mindset of parents may also potentially spoil the child and result in a rebellious attitude in the child once he/she does not get the things he/she wants.                                       For example, when the child does something wrong or breaks something, the parents won't really scold or correct them because "they are still a child" allowing the child continue his/her misdeeds and over time, may develop them into bad habits that they will eventually bring into the adult life.                 And before long the child will realize his/her own mistakes in the adult life, and would push the blame regarding bad habits on the parents, bearing grudges and annoyance towards the parents for not correcting their wrongdoings while they were still young. Thus souring their relationships.                           This further supports my stand of disagreeing with parents viewing their child as children despite them being young adults, but should instead treat them as equals with simple respect between one another. This not only does a good job in the child's upbringing but also strengthens the bond between parent and child.

However spending to much time on the digital devices may also make us socially isolate. Which means we are always connecting with a place which we are actually in at the moment.

Some have argued that electronic devices may hinder students in their studies as it may cause them to be addicted to social media and online games.  When students use electronic devices to help them in their studies, they may get distracted easily due to their temptation to go on social media platforms and due to their lack of self discipline. A case study in Educational Psychology has revealed striking effects of electronic devices in the classroom. The experimenters permitted students to use their cell phones for some class sessions but not for others; analyses showed that students who used electronics in class did worse on midterm and final exams than students who did not. This shows that electronic devices are truly great distractions to students' studies which may be due to their lack of self discipline and temptation to go on social media platforms and play online games instead of focusing on using their electronic devices to help them academically. However, if someone is responsible for his study and knows how to control himself well, he will not tempted to go on other platforms other than using electronic devices to help them academically.Furthermore, students should learn to have self discipline when using their electronic devices. All in all, if one is able to control oneself, electronic devices will not likely to hinder students in their studies.

Some also Argue that electronic communication made communication much convenient and easier. It made staying in touch with people living far apart easy.
Internet communication devices like instant messaging, e-mailing and social networking websites are convenient ways where staying in touch with family and friends.However, it is not true when your trying to solve a difficult relationship problem with love ones or communicating a confusing idea to a colleague. Problem solving is easier done when face-to-face. E-mailing can produce more problems than it solves. It might take e-mails hours to hash out a minor detail that could be handled in two minutes in person. You might go back and forth all day on text messages trying to find a solution to a problem that could be solved in an half an hour meeting. Instantaneous replies can build off each another. A question won't sit in a inbox for hours. Hence, although internet communication can be convenient but it cant solve problems as efficient as face-to-face.

Some have argued that we will not learn from failure. For example, we will think we already lose the entire goal, we will lose self-confidence and we won`t get another opportunity to win. They think there are actually numerous people failing to stand up again after the failure. However, does this really mean we cannot learn from failure? In my opinion, if only one failure can destroy one`s spirit, he or she will never build a great business. Actually, failure can cultivate one`s perseverance, failure can help one know who his or her true friends and failure can bring many personal improvement to one. The best thing it bring is to learn to become optimistic. Therefore, failure is beneficial to one`s spirit of resilience, one`s experience and one`s growth.

Despite this, some parents may argue that children should be disciplined to study so that they could achieve academic excellence in the future. While I do agree to some extent, depriving children of their much needed playtime will negatively impact their mental development.  For starters, playing helps to cultivate creativity, as children pretend to be doctors, explorers or even fictional characters like superheroes. Limiting their scope to the contents of their textbook will stunt this creative growth. However,  the knowledge that they gain could be used to fuel their imagination and enhance their quality of play. So for them to truly grow up as free, innovative thinkers, a healthy balance of playing and studying should be achieved.

However our brains are built with a negative bias. This means that our brains respond more sensitively towards negative information.This bias is so automatic it can be detected at the earliest stage of information processing. A study in detroit  conducted by  doctor Rayne Forrest,P.H.D had monitored electrical activity in the cerebral cortex when reacting to negative stimuli [scars or a loved one dying] positive stimuli [pizza or cricket] or neutral stimuli [hand dryer or plate]. The study found that electrical activity in cerebral cortex surged when exposed to negative stimuli. Failure can activate this 'negative bias' causing one to feel bad or lose motivation to learn.

However, it is a severe problem that the rate of depression and suicide happening among both youths and adults is increasing. Therefore, failure is not something that we can always learn from it. The main reason is because someone couldn’t sustain the pressure from failure, and keep suffering from the failure. As a consequence, something miserable will happen due to the poor ability of accepting failure. Nonetheless, we are now taking some action to solve these problems, for example, the school will hold some speeches some students to teach them how to accept failure, the society will also spread positive thoughts to teach everyone how to convert failure to something we can learn from. Through these ways, we will have ability to accept failure and it will become valuable experience for us which benefits us.

Some people say that electronic devices do hinder students in their studies as it is developing into students' biggest distractor. As technology is growing at a fast rate, more and more application are developed so that some believe that this gives rise to the chances of students being tempted to use these applications while studying. Although it is true that it may distract students, it still brings
more benefits than harm. It is obvious that the students can study in a faster way when they are using electronic devices, and only a few number of them will get distracted. And as the technology is being developed, the teachers now can
monitor the students when they are studying on the electronic devices. Just as most of my friends in China, they are all having online course now and the teachers can monitor what they are doing on their devices through some certain applications. And they rarely found students doing something else while studying, this has also proved that the students nowadays are having better self-control ability now. So we don’t really need to worry about this problem that much since the most of students are using devices for the right thing and even if a few of them are distracted, the teacher can also monitor and find the problem on time.

I strongly believe that electronic gadgets lends a helping hand to   students  in their studies .

On the other side of the coin, electronic device which  is a double-edged sword, is  also  harmful to students in studies as electronic devices are very addictive for students. According to Slick text, 80% of people use their phones before sleeping.  67% of teachers have seen students be distracted by their phones. 47% of parents think their child is addicted to their phone. This clearly shows that students are engrossed with their phones most of the time and that parents and teachers are worrying about the distraction of mobile phones as this could lead to students' attitudes to change from bad to worse and they will also not be concentrating on their studies.However, this can be solved by having parental control application on students electronic devices . Through this, parents can control their children's usage of electronic devices and can block or restrict distracting applications . students can now use their mobile phones for school purposes only . In a nut shell. electronic devices can be both boon and bane.

Although we can learn from failure, failure could also have detrimental effect to a person's mindset.When you fail more than you succeed,  one could feel depressed and thus lead to low self-esteem and lose sight of success. Failure could make you feel demoralized, anxious and helpless. Many people might give into the pressure of failure and thus ending their lives. Failure could cause health problems like panic attacks. Failure distorts your perception of your goals and makes them seem more unattainable.  However, if we overcome the negative emotions of failure, failure can help people improve. As long as we remember  that failure is temporary and the key to success, failure  will motivate you to try again, minimize your chances of another failure, and increase your likelihood of success.

In the twenty first century, the idea of electronic devices have really blown minds of the human beings. These electronic devices makes communication or research easier and more efficient for us. Using a electronic device, one can access the internet, therefore being able to do countless things in it which includes voice call, texting, research for school-based work and the countless application one can download on a phone. However, these electronic devices have really attracted the teenage group of people. These teenagers use these devices for games and social media.

Stand: Electronic devices help students in their studies.
Rebuttal: Despite the countless benefits to using technology as a medium for education, there are minor fixable repercussions. For example, people may get too distracted due to the internet being readily accessible and available. People often find themselves drifting away and using social media platforms like Instagram where you can scroll away for hours without noticing the sheer amount of time you have spent on the platform. Most of the platforms engage in social media hours to make their content more enticing and addictive. Some people may end up playing instead of studying which was supposed to be their main purpose. An example of this is a psychology study found that the use of electronic devices significantly increases distraction for students, which lowers their attention span and compromises learning in the process. An easy fix to this is that parents can enable "guided access". Using this, parents can deny access to various applications of their choice and limit the use of the phone strictly to study purposes. Without the passwords, students are less likely to be distracted by the entertainment factor of these phones and are obligated to use the piece of technology for solely educational purposes.

Some may argue that failure is a hindrance to our progress, offering no help, other than being a setback. Failures may obstruct our development, affect our morale and even arouse feelings of frustration and disappointment.

from them. We lessen the chance of making the same mistakes in the future and when we meet more setbacks in the future, we will be better equipped to deal with them. Failure is the mother of success; experiencing failure is necessary so we can know our shortcomings and how to overcome them.

Some people seem to think that Electronic devices distract students from their studies. For example, the France government banned handphones in their schools. Before the ban, in one of the schools there were 200 handphones confiscated due to misusage during class time. They also say that the students and teachers are seeing a positive outcome of these bans as the average results of students have gone up. This means that handphones distracted students and caused a negative impact on their results. Although this is true, the pros outweigh the cons significantly as to overcome misusage of handphones, the students just have to be taught responsibility in their usage. The benefits gained from technology would allow for students to do more research for their work. Thus, the electronic devices benefit students more than it creates disadvantages for students.

Some might think that failures determine the altitude of one's success in life; how it affects one's self esteem and cause them to put up the white flag inevitably. However, in many instances, this is not the case. it has been shown that many famous individuals have failed mutiple times before achieving soaring sucess. One prominent example is Walt Disney, who was fired by Kansas City Star because his editor felt that he lacked imagination and had no good ideas. Despite of this major setback, he bounced back and grew even more resilient and eventually created Disney, which is now one of the world most famous entertainment company. Ultimately, the philosophy behind is that we are all hard-wired to learn by trial and error. Through trying and failuring, we learned to embrace this and are likely to try new and more difficult goals. Without worrying for the ego-damaging nature of failure, we then can attain success.

Contrarily to these claims, electronic devices are also one of the major distractions that hinder student in their studies.

This will result in student's doing homework half-heartedly. Also, students nowadays are more addicted to mobile games, thus neglecting their studies for their own enjoyment.

Moreover, the devices can help us with many external research that cannot be done just by reading books or asking those whom you know.

Some people believe that electronic devices distract students more than helping them. For example, students tend to pause and check their phones while doing homework or reviewing; which in return can cause them to procrastinate and end up not getting any work done. Frankly speaking, this issue mainly depends on the user since the electronic device does not force anyone to stop working unless the individual decides to do so. No one can hurt you except yourself. Moreover, the electronic equipments can help us with many external kinds of research, revision, reading that cannot be found from physical books or asking those whom you know. For many of us, during essay or paragraph writing like we are currently doing, requires a lot of research on the internet, and electronic devices have been helping us do that for ages already. Besides, many schools and education institutions are already adding the electronic device as a student’s study material after realising how useful it is in today’s world. With the help of these electronic apparatuses, students can get things done quickly and effectively learn each subject using the method that they deem best for their study. Therefore, to say that electronic tools do not help us is a flawed argument.

Contrarily to these claims, electronic devices are also one of the major distractions that hinder student in their studies. With the existence of social media and games, students are easily distracted by them, thus neglecting their studies. The constant vibration of their phone whenever a new message from social media arrives, tempts the student to check on their new messages which will deteriorate the student's concentration of their work. This will result in student's doing homework half-heartedly. Also, students nowadays are more addicted to mobile games and social media, thus neglecting their studies for their own enjoyment. This will also result in students not doing homework, thus their studies will deteriorate drastically. However, this can be solved by placing restrictions on the usage of their electronic devices. There was a check done by The Strait's Times on 10 schools on student's handphone usage during school curriculum hours after a parent had sued principal of Anglo Chinese School (Barker) for confiscating his or hey child's phone for 3 months. This shows that without the regulations and restrictions by either the parents or the school, students will use their phones uncontrollably at home or during school hours. However, with handphone policies in place, students will be restricted to comply to the handphone policy, and thus would not neglect or hinder their studies.

On the other hand, electronic devices can also hinder students in their studies.This is because students may feel the urge to use their electronic devices for other purposes besides studying such as gaming. The notification buzz evokes an irresistible temptation to check, chat and stay updated.Resulting in students studying desultorily.Furthermore, students may lose track of time and compromise their sleeping time while being indulged in their various electronic devices.This causes them to be sleep deprived and fatigue the next day.Therefore they will not be able to concentrate in class well.They will stuggle.In these ways electronic devices can be a hindrance for students in their studies.

However this is only applies for a minority and can be prevented if students exercise self-control. When one is able to control their temptations to use electronic devices for other purposes apart from studying, electronic devices will not be a hindrance to students in their studies

Recall that time when you're trying to do serious talk with your parents, but they don't take you seriously because "You are still a child"?.                                                            Or when you were wronged and wanted to prove yourself innocent with your parents but they just shut you off because "you weren't respecting the elderly"?                   These are the possible scenarios happening when you're parents still treat you as a child and does not respect your opinion which makes you very disheartened because you are already in your teenage years, am a young adult and have your own opinion.               This hurts the impression of your parents in your mind because you feel that your opinion is not valued, and would over time develop a sense of hatred to your parents, souring your relationship. Thus Parents should not let children be children       Also, this mindset of parents may also potentially spoil the child and result in a rebellious attitude in the child once he/she does not get the things he/she wants.                                       For example, when the child does something wrong or breaks something, the parents wouldn't punish them because "they are still a young" allowing the youngster to continue his/her transgressions and over time, develop them into poor habits that they will eventually bring into the adult world.                 And before long the child will realize his/her own negligence and would push the blame regarding bad habits on the parents, bearing grievances and resentment towards their parents for not amending their errors while a youth, souring their relationships.                           This further supports my stand of disagreeing with parents viewing their child as children despite them being young adults, but should instead treat them as equals with adequate respect between one another. This not only does an adequate job in the lass's upbringing but also bolsters the bond between parent and child.

Stand: Electronic devices help students in their studies.

Rebuttal: Despite the countless benefits to using technology as a medium for education, there are minor fixable repercussions. For example, people may get too distracted due to the internet being readily accessible and available. The internet is often regarded to a black hole where it can engulf you. People often find themselves drifting away and using social media platforms like Instagram where you can scroll away for hours without noticing the sheer amount of time you have spent on the platform. Most of the platforms engage in social media hours to make their content more enticing and addictive. Some people may end up playing instead of studying which was supposed to be their main purpose. An example of this is a psychology study found that the use of electronic devices significantly increases distraction for students, which lowers their attention span and compromises learning in the process.  This would result in drastically deteriorating results due to the lack of revision. An easy fix to this is that parents can enable "guided access". Using this, parents can deny access to various applications of their choice and limit the use of the phone strictly to study purposes and students are obligated to use their technology solely for educational purposes.

On the other hand,failure time and time again can lead to the problem of low morale , low self-esteem and low value of self-worth which can lead to a person becoming more shut off like a hermit from the world and shift from the growth mindset like that of a sprout to the fixed mindset like that of bricks where we believe that we cannot change ourselves which can lead to a slowed progress of learning.However,In moderation,failure can help us to learn faster by teaching us humility which makes us fear failure less so we are more willing to learn despite the propability of failure.It can also help us to keep sight of our goals to stop us from straying off from striving to improve ourselves as they remind us that we can still be better everyday.

electronic devices can benefit and help students alot by providing information for them to research and gather evidence. however, they can also act as harmful devices which affects their study and education. electronic devices gives the students wide access of information and articles from all over the world. this includes video games, YouTube videos and social media. these act as obstacles that distract students from doing their work.the vibration indicating new messages or game updates can tempt these students to log on and be drawn off task. this would affect them as they would not be able to focus on their studies or revision. therefore, affecting them academically.
these problems can easily be solved by imposing restrictions on the student's daily screen time. parents can monitor and track their child's daily screen time on the electronic devices. this helps to clear all distractions and allow them time to do work and study in peace.

Some might think that failures determine the altitude of one's success in life drastically; how it affects one's self esteem and cause them to put up the white flag inevitably. However, in many instances, this is not the case. it has been shown that many outstanding individuals have failed mutiple times before achieving soaring sucess. One prominent example is Walt Disney, who was fired by Kansas City Star because his editor felt that he lacked imagination and had no good ideas. Despite of this severe setback, he bounced back and grew even more resilient and eventually created Disney, which is now one of the world most famous entertainment company. Ultimately, the philosophy behind is that we are all hard-wired to learn by trial and error. Through trying and failuring, we learned to embrace this and are likely to try new and more difficult goals. Without worrying for the ego-damaging nature of failure, we then can attain success.

Some people seem to think that Electronic devices distract students from their studies. For example, the France government banned handphones in their schools. Before the ban, in one of the schools there were 200 handphones confiscated due to misusage during class time. They also say that the students and teachers are seeing a positive outcome of these bans as the average results of students have gone up. This means that handphones distracted students and caused a negative impact on their results. Although this is true, the pros outweigh the cons significantly as to overcome misusage of handphones, the students just have to be taught responsibility in their usage. The benefits gained from technology would allow for students to do more research for their work. Thus, the electronic devices benefit students more than it creates disadvantages for students.

Counterargument/rebuttal:

Although electronic devices make learning more engaging and more effective it can also  act as an obstacle on their path to success. Electronic devices can be a major distraction to a student. Some students that have more self-control do not fall into the big traps of social media and mobile games while others who don’t, lose themselves to it.  How many of us can resist the urge to see the notification when our phones vibrate. In July of 2018, the French government passed a law banning cell phones in schools. According to CNN, the law passed 62 votes to one. The policy came into effect during the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year and impacts students in kindergarten through the 9th grade. Although France considers phones to be a major issue in school other countries still believe that the issue of students getting distracted by phones can be solved with a little more self-control from the students side. For example here in Singapore schools still believe that with a few rules in place .So phones being a distraction is a small problem that can be solved plus it only affects a small group of people

Some people think that students will use their electronic device like their phone to use social media or use youtube to watch videos and not study.These days, students are using more and more of their electronic device.  As a result, students will not study and waste all their time on their electronic device.

However, this is easily avoided by having good self discipline. Even if they have no self discipline, there are apps to block certain apps and prevent students from using them and not studying.

In the twenty first century, the idea of electronic devices have really blown minds of the human beings. These electronic devices makes communication or research easier and more efficient for us. Any research or conversation via devices are in our fingertips. Using a electronic device, one can access the internet, therefore being able to do countless things in it which includes voice call, texting, research for school-based work and the countless application one can download on a phone. However, these electronic devices have really attracted the teenage group of people like magnets. These teenagers use these devices for games and social media. Their eyes are glued to the non-living screens that may eventually harm them. Therafter, they risk themselves in spending too much time on their device and not on their studies or work in school, thus causing them to hinder their school work.

I strongly believe that electronic gadgets lends a helping hand to   students  in their studies .

On the other side of the coin, electronic device which  is a double-edged sword, is  also  harmful to students in studies as electronic devices are very addictive for students. According to Slick text, 80% of people use their phones before sleeping.  67% of teachers have seen students be distracted by their phones. 47% of parents think their child is addicted to their phone. This clearly shows that students are engrossed with their phones most of the time and that parents and teachers are worried and anxious  like a chimpanzee   about the distraction of mobile phones as this could lead to students' attitudes to change from bad to worse and they will also not be concentrating on their studies.However, this can be solved by having parental control application on students electronic devices . Through this, parents can control their children's usage of electronic devices and can block or restrict distracting applications . students can now use their mobile phones for school purposes only . In a nut shell, electronic devices can be both boon and bane.

Some may argue that failure is a hindrance to our progress, offering no help, other than being a setback. Failures may obstruct our development, affect our morale and even arouse feelings of frustration, fury and disappointment. For example, when a student who has consistently been doing well in his subjects, fails an exam, he may feel inadequate and discouraged. This may result in a downwards trend and his results may experience a further fall due to die lowered morale. However, after seeing past these possible negative outcomes, failure provides us the opportunity to better ourselves. Failures are hurdles for us to overcome, in order to learn from our weakness. Learning from failure is more substantial than pointless progress that does not teach us anything as it provides us the opportunity to learn from our mistakes. After knowing our shortcomings, we will be able to take precautions and prevent the same mistakes form happening again. Failure is the mother of success; experiencing failure is necessary so we can know our shortcomings and how to overcome them.

Nowadays, the rate of depression and suicide happening among all ages is increasing. It is not difficult for us to see that learning from failures is not that easy as we thought it was. One main reason is that some peole cannot suffer from the pressure of failures and sustain the loss of the failures. Thereby, unhealthy mental state may be formed as the poor ability of accepting failures of them. Fortunately, here are some methods to solve failures. For instance, schools can hold some activities or speeches for some students to enlighten them how to treat, accept and learn from failures, and society may also spread positive thoughts, teaching publics how to convert failures to the lessons that we can learn from. With the help of these failures, we can conclude the reasons that led to these failures and prevent from making similar mistakes again. Only can we have positive moods to live in this world through these methods to face to the failures that may happen in the future.

However, it is a severe problem that the rate of depression and suicide happening among both youths and adults is increasing. According to research, the main reason is these persons cannot sustain the pressure from failure, and keep suffering from the failure which is as threatening as a demon. Therefore, failure is not something that we can always learn from it. Consequently, something miserable like suicide and mental diseases will happen due to their poor ability of accepting failure. Nonetheless, we are now taking some action to solve these problems, for example, the schools hold some speeches to teach students how to accept failure, the society also spreads positive thoughts to guide everyone to convert failure to something we can learn from. Through these ways, we will have ability to accept failure and definitely it will become valuable experience for us. In conclusion, as long as we can correctly accept the failure and regard it as essential experience, failure will still benefit us a lot.

In some cases, electronic devices may not help students with their studies. In class, electronic devices may distract students and may potentially cause them to miss out important details or notes. As more online games are increasingly popular among teens such as ‘Mobile Legends’ and ‘ Call of Duty’, teens may not be able to control their temptations to use their phones in class, hence causing them to be distracted, unfocused and inattentive. Individually, online sites like ‘Google’ may contain false information, bringing across the wrong message to students. Imagine yourself understanding the wrong concept and applying it to test and exams. However, this only affects a small group of students. In class, with the proper guidance and instructions from the teachers, all the inappropriate phone uses can he controlled. For example, teachers can impose rules and consequences for the misuse of phones such as confiscation of handphones. Teachers can also safe keep students handphones so no distractions takes place. This may cause students to be more serious and careful when using their phones. With this in place, it can certainly boost the benefits of electronic devices.

Some also Argue that electronic communication made communication much convenient and easier. It made
education better and learning easier.
Internet communication devices like instant messaging, e-mailing and online websites are great examples for students to ask questions or wonder in the sea of knowledge themselve.
However, it is not true when there is so many other things that can distract students while surfing online. Students are
at the stage where they are the most curious and half-heartened. All it takes is a "ding" and
their focus will be altered away from what ever they are doing
. What's more is that some challenging questions
may be too complicated for teacher to explain through electronic commnication.It might take e-mails hours to hash out a minor detail that could be handled in two minutes in person. You might go back and forth all day on text messages trying to find a solution to the problem that could be solved in an half an hour meet up with your teacher. Instantaneous replies builds off. A question won't sit in a inbox for hours.

Despite this, some parents may assert their stance that children have to be disciplined to study so as to achieve academic excellence in the future. While it is true that one’s academic performance plays a paramount part in their future, depriving children of their much needed playtime will have a damaging, detrimental or even destructive impact on their mental development. For instance, playing helps to cultivate creativity. This happens when children imitate doctors, explorers or even their favorite fictional heroes. Narrowing their scope to the contents of the textbook will stunt this creative growth.  However, this does not mean that playing and studying cannot go hand in hand. The knowledge that they gain could fuel their imagination and enhance their quality of play. Similarly, by acting out what they have studied, such as when playing doctor, they can better comprehend and digest whatever it is that they have learnt. So for them to truly mature into free, innovative thinkers, a healthy balance of playing and studying should be achieved.

Although most people agree that electronic devices help students in their studies, there is a small number of people who think that electronic devices hinder students in their studies. This minority thinks that students will get addicted to using the devices for entertainment purposes rather than for education purposes, distracting them from their studies, resulting in drastically deteriorating academic results. Students will stay up late just to play a little more of their games, or maybe watch a few minutes of their favourite dramas, and end up waking up early in the morning with only a few hours of sleep, resulting in them being extremely exhausted and unable to concentrate on the lessons. Even though electronic devices can hinder students from their studies by making them addicted to the entertainment the devices provide, there are many simple yet efficient ways to solve the issue. First, the student can exercise some self-control, by managing the time spent on their electronic devices, limiting the duration of time they use the device for non-academic purposes. The student will be able to spend more time on their studies, instead of scrolling through their social medias for hours on end. Other than that, parents can help their children by only giving them the electronic devices when the child has finished his homework, or when the student needs it for research purposes. This may become a motivation for the student to finish their studies so they can use the devices. An app lock can also be enabled on the device so that the student can only spend a limited time on the entertainment applications on the device. There are some parts of electronic devices that hinder the students in their studies, but if the student has discipline and self-control to limit the time spent on the devices, electronic devices will not affect the results of their studies negatively.

Some have argued that we will not learn from failure. Failure will only destroy our spirit like a monster. They think there are actually numerous people failing to stand up again after the failure. However, does this really mean we cannot learn from failure? In my opinion, if only one failure can destroy one`s spirit, he or she will never build a great business. Failure is like a test to check whether one has resilience or not. Actually, failure can cultivate one`s perseverance, failure can help one know who his or her true love friends and failure can bring many personal improvement to one. At the same time, it helps to learn to become optimistic. There is an old saying, there is no success without failure. Failure is like a base to build our characteristics to fight for success. Therefore, failure is beneficial to one`s experience and one`s growth.
