這一篇筆記來自雅思14 Test1 Reading1 The importance of children's play

從標(biāo)題能看出來，文章就是在分析對于小孩子來說，玩的重要性。

首先給出幾個具體的小孩子玩樂的例子，想象一個童話王國有助于創(chuàng)造力發(fā)展，角色扮演有助于情緒管理，桌游有助于規(guī)則和交換角色的學(xué)習(xí)。

接下來指出，但是由于現(xiàn)代城市的飛速發(fā)展、家長出于安全的考慮、童年時期就越來越多的競爭，讓兒童時期的玩樂大幅減少。一些教育工作者還有研究者們在努力發(fā)現(xiàn)科學(xué)證據(jù)，來證明玩的重要性以及對成年生活的影響。

他們發(fā)現(xiàn)，會玩對于小孩非常重要的一點是能培養(yǎng)他們的自制力。有自制力的小孩在學(xué)校的表現(xiàn)普遍會更好，長大之后，也能更好的解決問題，更有可能成功。一個實例是，用玩玩具的方法教小孩子寫作文，效果顯著。

玩在當(dāng)代越來越不受重視，是時候做出改變了，讓小孩子能有一個快樂豐富的童年。
