I don't understand if we are talking about sports here or about society games, video games and other types of games. Can we talk about all forms of games that we know? I think it is important to understand this difference.

hi guys,

I typed the following essay; I think that it doesn't matter distinguishing between sports and videogames.

 

 

 

The world of childhood is dominated by games: children love to play with games, they are really important for their growth. It often happens to see an adult playing: it is not simple saying if games are as important for adults as they are for children. We need to realize why do children and adults play games.

 

 

Children love playing games because it is the most natural thing they can do: each child wants to move around, to jump, to have fun with friends, but also to live great adventures thanks to videogames. Playing game is an opportunity for children to stay in opened spaces, like playground, or the sand; to stay with friends, so it is an opportunity to socialize; and it is also important because playing sports helps children to improve their strenght and resistance. So playing games is really one of the most important things in childhood.

 

 

On the other hand adults too seem to like playing games, and the number of adults that play games seems to increase year by year. Adults play game like soccer, volleyball, but also any kind of sports: we can understand that by the growing attention to their shape. In fact adults want to play sports to lose weight and to keep in good shape. But sport isn’t the only game they play: adults have lately discovered the greatness of some videogames released in the last years; playing videogames is a way for them to get relaxed and have fun, thanks especially to the high level of graphic and sound reached by those games.

 

 

So, according to the elements presented before, I think it wouldn’t be right saying games are important just for children: adults too are interested in those things. But the main difference is the attitude that adults and children have towards games: adults like playing games because they want to keep in shape and just have fun, while children need to play game because it is the way they get to grow up , having fun while they learn things and move around .

TOEFL is a game, isn't it? :-)

 

======

Many people play various games. Games have become part of our culture. I think that playing games is as important for adults as it is for children.

 

There is no doubt that physical games serve as an excellent exercise. In fact many physical games are usually regarded as sports games. Sports is a very important part of peoples lives and so are the games. Therefore, many physical games are as important to people as sports.

 

Many physical games are also a part of our culture. People often gather to play soccer and it should be viewed as a social event. Physical games should be as apreciated as traditions of our society.

 

For many people playing games is a way to spend time and have fun. People consider the process of playing as an entertainment. Also people enjoy competition that is inevitable part of most of the games.

 

Furthermore, the competition that is present in most of the games is very good to exercise one's will power. Will power is important in today's society. A person with a strong will power can achieve much. The person can contribute more to the society and that is why the will power is very appreciated.

 

One shouldn't overlook the value of intellectual games. I am of the opinion that intellectual games help people keep themselves in shape. Playing games that require intensive thinking is impossible without proper physical preparation.

 

Games provide people with physical and intellectual exercise and improve people's health. Games are part of our lives and are very important for all people.

Are games imporatant for adults? some people beleive that games are not important for adults as they are for children. I completely disagree with the view that games are not important for adults. Games benefit children as well as adults in many ways. let's look at the advantages.

 

First of all, games are the best way of the exercise. May adults spend hours in exercises to keep the weight in balance. some poeple use joigging or swimming to reduce the weight. But very few of them look at the games as a way to exercise. Even though it is true that adults can not play rigorous games like football, cricket bu tthey can play games like tennis, badminton. After day's hard work these games will provide the much needed releif to the adults.

 

Also, there are various indoor games for adults. Chase is the most popular among the adults. Apart from providing relief, it sharpens the thinking skills of the players. Also it is the least expensive way of entertainment. Also there are card games which are as popular as any other games in adults.

 

Thus, games help adults in maintaining good health. They also provide entertainment and some of games like chess improve mental keennes and sharpness.

Some people think, that games should play important role in a life of every person including adults, then others think, that games should be left for children. There are arguments for and against both positions, but in my opinion everyone should have a hobby and playing games is a good one.

 

One of the most cited reasons against playing games in adulthood is a lack of time. Most of the games are very time-consuming and to play games most adults have to sacrifice time they spend with their family. Often games lead to problem with employer, because a person spends too much time thinking about a game, not a specific work he has to do. I have a friend who was fascinated by recreating great historical events like battles. He spent all his free time on studying old uniforms and rules of conduct. Even on work he searched for information in Internet. His productivity declined sharply and as soon as his boss found out about his passion, he was fired.

 

On the other hand, many games are good for entertainment in spare time. For example, it’s much better to play in role-playing game, than spend time watching numerous soap operas on TV. Some games are very good for health, for example followers of Tolkien spend a lot of time learning to use swords and bows.

 

Some games are very good at improving brainpower. For example many experts agree that chess, reversi and other intellectual games enhance attention. Also person who actively play chess stand less chance to get Alzheimer’s disease comparing to average population.

 

Also it is easy to bridge a generation gap by playing games. Games help to bring people together. Many families I know that like to play games are very well-knit families. Parents spend much more time together with children if they have similar interests.

 

Adults should not spend all their time thinking of and playing games, they should balance time they spend on work and with their families with time, they spend playing games. If they have children, that share their interest in playing games it is extremely good. In conclusion I want to say that in my opinion playing games is a very good hobby.

It is undeniable that games are a part of our lives. No matter how old we are, we still play games for many reasons. Thus, in my perspective, I strongly agree with the statement mentioned above that games are as crucial for adults as they are for children. My reasons to support this view are outlined as follows.

 

To begin with, Fun is one reason that some adults prefer to play games. In special occasion, such as Christmas, Birthday Parties and New Year, playing games can provides fun and laughter among families and friends.

 

Secondly, games actually provide tremendous advantages for adults and exercise is one of them. Common games, such as footballs and baseballs, are considered to be a good exercise. The fact that many adults stop playing games since they think games are only for children is truly a wrong idea. As we can see that most adults today have high blood pressure due to lacking of exercise. Moreover, a vast body of researches shows that playing games can provide adults healthy lives.

 

Lastly, it is a common notion that games are challenging and the final result is to win the game. Thus, several adults prefer to play games for winning. Take gambles for example, many adults love to play cards in casino to win money of their contestants. Consequently, some may lose their bets and some may win. However, winning or losing provides them excitement and joy.

 

On the whole, if all the factors mentioned above are considered, we can reach the conclusion that some adults play games for fun , for exercising and for winning.

Thus, it is evident that games are as important for adults as they are for children.
