136) Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Playing a game is fun only when you win. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answers.
When everyone plays a game, he may hope to win it and feel good if he could beat his opponents. However, in my opinion, it is not always necessary that the game is fun only when I win. It is not whether I win or lose. I have fun all the times when playing games because they give me time to be with my friends and teach me how to cooperate with others. Moreover, I can learn a lot from playing games.
In my case, I work full-time from 8.00 am to 5.00 pm and also study at night so I have no much time to join my friends or even my family’s activities. Therefore, I usually use a game as an excuse to be with them. After we play the game together, no matter what the result is, I feel very happy to spend time with ones whom I love. Normally, we do not count the score when we played. We just have fun.
Furthermore, playing a game teaches me how to cooperate with others. Football is my most favorite hobby. I cannot play football alone. I have to communicate while I am in the field and share ideas how to play before the game starts with my teammates. Sometimes, our team participated in a serious competition.
Of course, if our team lost, we would feel sad but at least we would have fun from being in a team.
Additionally, the fact is that when people do something, they gain at least one thing from what they do: for example, when you do housework, you have your body exercised; when you sleep, you have your brain relaxed. As well as, when you play games, you can learn from the games that you play such as languages, rules and etc. It makes me fun when I learn something new.
In conclusion, games are not only the tools that tell players who win or who lose. I play game because I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, cooperating in a team and obtaining something I do not know before. The result of a game is just a by-product to me.
