Some people believe playing games can teach us about life. #1 (permalink) Mon Sep 28, 2009 17:11 pm   Some people believe playing games can teach us about life.
 

Some people believe playing games can teach us about life. Do you agree? Why or Why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answers.

Game is more than that. From the ancient time game is very important part of our life. People find themselves playing games throughout their entire lives. It does not matter weather you win it or not. Game is inspiration for lots of people in the world. There are different reasons why people believe that the game can teach us about life. Life is like an experience. People get experience from so many sources but I will definitely say that game also play important role in our life. There are several explanations to believe that playing games can teach us about life. Why I believe that game helps us to teach would like to explain in detail. By playing games we can think and work in timely manner. Games also help us to set and focus on goal.

First of all, games teach us to think fast in timed way. As players need to think spontaneously while they are playing. Once President Obama said, "Basketball has taught him to think quickly on his feet.” As players need to be active during game. They need to think fast and take action same time. So In this way games help us to work quickly and simultaneously. It helps us to learn multitasking, think and do at the same time.

In addition to that Games also teach us to be concentrate on their goal. In our life like we need to be focused on what we need to achieve in our life. Like if student need to get good marks in examination, what they need to do? They need to focus on their study. In the same way games helps us to know the goal and how to achieve it in our life.

As we have seen above how game help us to teach about life. People likes different games but all the games teaches everyone same perspective. To put it differently game is part of our life it not only teaches players but it also teaches audience. In brief it helps us to teach how to achieve successful life.

Lots of mistakes. I've made, even the really dumb ones.
Articles, Gerunds and Singular Plural causes me to make a mistake.

Thanks for correction. Next time I will keep in mind.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Playing games teaches us about life?

It is quite common that children play games while they are young. Many people think that children should learn in school instead of playing games. Others believe that playing games is very beneficial for children, since they can learn something about life. However, in my opinion, playing games teaches us about life. In the following essay, I will explain my choice.

The first advantage of playing games is that you can practice some skills you will need at work. For example, in many board games you have to play in teams in order to have the possibility to win. Therefore, if you play some games, you will learn to work together, which will help you to advice your job or position. Furthermore, in many PC games you have to solve some puzzles. This will help you to improve your ability to manage problems efficiently at work, because you learn to solve problems systematically while playing PC games.

Secondly, playing games improve your social skills, which means that you learn to discuss about subjects or help other people. Playing games is always a social activity, due to the fact that you can only enjoy games with friends. For instance, you need some friends to play the board game„The settler of Catan“. In this board game, you have to trade some goods, so that you have to discuss about the prizes of the goods with your friends. Moreover, in many games you should help others in order to win. As a consequence, you realize that helping others is very worthwhile.

Finally, many games teach children about things you have to learn at school or university. There are many so called educational games, which combine the benefits of games like having fun with learning. Thus, children are able to enjoy learning while playing them, which causes in a higher motivation of children to learn new subjects.

In conclusion, I am totally convinced that playing games are absolutely beneficial for teaching us things about life. Playing no games is unacceptable, because of the advantages I have mentioned in the above-essay.
