　　托福写作范文赏析：

　　首段

　　Children tend to revel in high-tech products such as smart phone or on-line games, sometimes without being aware of doing so. Sure enough，they can have a merry mood when they amuse themselves by playing computer games or mobile phones. My stand，however，is that going outside for amusement or playing simpler toys is more preferable and feasible in terms of providing those who are in the formative years with beneficial enjoyment.

　　二段

　　Indeed, games provided by high-tech products enjoy tremendous popularity amongst children and their peculiar fascination can be owed to their unique merits. More precisely, video games are characteristic of vivid pictures, appealing music or unexpected challenge, which presents players witha good source of relaxation. Meanwhile, the process of surmounting difficulties in the virtual world can still enable children to have a creative mind and thus improve their decision-making or crisis-solving abilities. However, as children lack self-discipline, the chances that they will ever be able to take up physical exercises or befriend with peers are remote，especially considering that the amount of time young kids spend watching television or playing games is astonishing. Even worse，children often ignore the outside world as a result of the addition.

　　三段

　　Embarking on outdoor activities or opting for simpler toys，as a commendable hobby， is quite different and has many visible merits. For a start, playing outdoor games with friends is physically beneficial because children can breathe the fresh air, stretch their bodies and enjoy the closeness to nature. This debate reminds me of my childhood, I was keen on catching dragonflies, butterflies, fish, and crickets in summer or playing snow fight with my close friends in winter. What we reaped were joyous childhood and healthy physique. Also,growing experience, via associating and communicating with peers, makes a child sociable and optimistic, with no time for boredom. Instead of isolating oneself, having fun outside with friends makes a child lean to cooperate with mates and unite congenial peers, in this way, one's circle of friends grows. Eventually, accompanying children to play simpler games such as block building, flying paper plane, poker card game is an effective way to strengthen the parent-child relationship.

　　尾段

　　My stand is that although high-tech products can provide relaxation for leisure hours, electronic games will inevitably bright about sedentary lifestyle, poor eyesight and even obesity. Thereby, children should be encouraged to play simpler toys or do physical exercises with friends. Imaginably, the family tie can be strengthened and a child’s group experience can be fostered.
