雅思口语话题整理：Childhood Toy

　　Part 3:

　　1. What are some differences between boys' toys and girls' toys? (比较男孩玩具和女孩玩具。男孩喜欢枪，车之类的东西，女孩喜欢娃娃，毛绒玩具……颜色上或者设计风格上也有很大区别。)

　　Girls like pink clothing and pictures of flowers and dolls.Girls like barbie dolls and a dollhouse? Girls like shoes that have pretty pictures. Girls like wearing jeans with flowers.New Oriental School

　　Not ALL girls' clothes are pink. the difference is the way they are designed. girls' clothes have certain advertisements such as barbie or bratz for younger kids. boys' clothes have things like yugioh or monsters or whatever on them. boys like to play with trucks and cars and girls like dolls and such.

　　2. Which toys do most people prefer to buy, imported toys or domestically made toys? (Why?) (人们更喜欢进口玩具还是国产玩具?其实这取决于个人喜好，或者孩子们受国产动画片影响大还是国外卡通片影响大。与质量没有太大关系。)

　　3. Why do children like some toys but dislike other toys? (个人喜好问题)

　　4. Compare the advantages and (possible) disadvantages of children playing alone and children playing with other children.(这是较有难度的问题。自己玩能开发想象力，动手能力。和别人一起玩则可以增强合作性……)

　　Children playing by themselves develop independence through imaginative play and depending on themselves to be entertained. Children playing with others must learn to cooperate

　　Advantages of Playing with Others: Kid develops socially and is less likely to be shy and will find it easier to make friends. They tend to learn how to talk better sooner, and develop their motor skills faster because they learn from their peers.New Oriental School

　　Children playing alone:

　　Adavantages - they will be more independant

　　Disadvantages - you run the risk of your kid being strange and socially awkward. Children playing with others:

　　Advantages - Everything. Because of their socialization they will be more "normal." That's what human interaction does. People learn how to cope with not getting your way all the time, learn to share, be unselfish, and most importantly what's is or is not socially acceptable/unacceptable.

　　Disadvantages - your child might get injured or even killed by playing with others by getting themselves in situations they otherwise wouldn't (but then again they could get themselves killed being alone also). They could get negatively influenced by peers to do not so good things.

　　Advantages of playing alone- they learn to use their Imagination, they sometimes can learn new things by focusing on it, without being disturbed by another child wants or opinions.

　　Disadvantages of playing alone- They usually have a hard time adapting to other children in social enviorments, they sometimes don't like sharing items if they play alone lot.New Oriental School

　　Advantages of playing with others- they learn to share, they learn new games, different ways to do things, they sometimes can learn things quicker form another child showing them. you as a parent can see how they interact with other children to see if they are socially where they need to be for their age. You also can view how other parents handle issues that you may need help with. You also can learn their play style.

　　Disadvantages for playing with others- they fight over toys, they learn some behavior or language that you may not find acceptable for your family morals and values. sickness goes around quicker because small children put everything in their mouths .
