Part 2 Sample

2. Suggested answer

Whenever it comes to my childhood, I always think of the good old days that I spent with the kids in my neighborhood. Today I am going to tell you about one of my most favorite childhood game, whose name is blind-man’s-buff and it is very popular with kids born in 1990s.

I loved the game so much that I played every afternoon after school with my next door friends. It helped me relax after a long day studying at school.

To be more specific, the game required at least three people and we usually tried to gather about nine or ten kids so as to have more fun. First we played scissors, paper, rock to choose one person who would be blindfolded and when that person was chosen, his/her eyes would be tied up so he/she couldn’t see anything then we formed a large circle around that person. The circle was not allowed to “break” under any circumstances. Everyone should run to make the circle move and make it more difficult for the blindfolded person to catch anyone. If the blindfolded kid could touch someone and say his/her name, the blindfolded kid would be free and the kid who was caught would be blindfolded this time.

I continued to play this game till I finished primary school. Though I got older, the game was not suitable for me but it was truly one of my most favorite childhood memories.

Vocabulary

Blindfold (v) /ˈblaɪnd.foʊld/: bịt mắt

Blind-man’s-buff (n) /ˌblaɪnd.mænz ˈbʌf/: trò bịt mắt bắt dê

Next door friend (n) /ˌnekst ˈdɔːr frend/: các bạn sống gần nhà

The good old days (n): những ngày tháng quá khứ tươi đẹp

Part 3 Sample

1. Do you think winning is the most important goal for playing games?

Without a doubt winning is essential but I reckon other factors are also important. Individuals are able to learn several positive traits from games such as being cooperative, supportive, delivering strategies and even learn how to accept the failure. All of which helps to develop soft skills and benefits player much in the reality. I think acknowledging these aforementioned values from games would make the games much more competitive and interesting. Participants can also enjoy the games fullest without boring themselves of compulsorily being the winner.

2. What kinds of games do children play these days?

With the proliferation of modern technology and the widespread of the Internet, electronic devices are become more prevalent than ever. Therefore, online games are of the top choice when kids want to play games. There are several online games are available online which make children get indulged or even addicted. For example, some online games require teamwork such as league of legend, Pubg are most popular among others. I believe this phenomenon leads to negative impacts on both mental and physical health in kids.

3. Which do you think are better, indoor or outdoor games?

Well, first of all, I believe that indoor games offer the advantage of being easily accessible, especially in urban areas where outdoor spaces may be limited. I mean they provide opportunities for entertainment and social interaction within the comforts of one's home or community centers. Indoor games can also be enjoyed regardless of weather conditions or time of day. On the other hand, it is obvious that outdoor games allow people to connect with nature, engage in physical activity, and experience the thrill of open spaces. They provide opportunities for fresh air, sunshine, and a break from sedentary indoor lifestyles. Ultimately, the "better" choice depends on personal preferences, circumstances and the specific benefits or experiences individuals seek.

4. How can children benefit from playing team games?

Well, the benefits are quite clear regarding team games. Firstly, they foster valuable social and interpersonal skills. I mean children would be able to develop communication, cooperation, and collaboration abilities as they work together towards a common goal. What's more, team games also teach them about leadership, decision-making, and problem-solving. Additionally, participation in team games promotes a sense of belonging, boosting self-confidence and building friendships. It also teaches children important life skills such as resilience, discipline, and the ability to handle both success and failure.

5. Why do people like to play different games?

Well, there are a few that pop up in my head. Firstly, games provide entertainment and amusement, serving as an escape from daily routines and responsibilities. Therefore, people often claim that playing games can be a form of relaxation and stress relief, allowing individuals to unwind and have fun. Games also provide opportunities for social interaction and bonding, as they can be enjoyed with friends, family, or even strangers. Additionally, games often present challenges and puzzles that stimulate the mind and promote cognitive development. They offer a platform for individuals to test their skills, showcase their abilities, and experience a sense of achievement. The diverse range of games available caters to different interests, preferences, and skill levels, allowing individuals to find enjoyment in various activities.

6. Do you think it's good for children to play games?

I strongly believe that all of us should get involved in some sorts of games and sports as they are entertaining, educative and good for both physical and mental health. An active lifestyle keeps us fit and healthy. And playing games is the best way to ensure a healthy lifestyle. Parents should encourage their children to play outdoors sports every single day to avoid a sedentary lifestyle.

7. How important would you say it is to develop a sense of competition in children?

I mean this trait can be beneficial, but it should be balanced with sportsmanship and fairness. What I want to say is that competition can drive children to strive for personal growth, push their limits, and achieve their best. It also prepares children for real-world challenges, teaching them the importance of hard work, perseverance, and healthy ambition. However, we must be utmost careful since it is crucial to ensure that competition is seen as a means of personal improvement rather than solely focusing on winning at all costs. Thus, emphasizing sportsmanship and fair play is essential, teaching children to respect their opponents, accept defeat gracefully, and celebrate success with humility.
