A Toy You Enjoyed in Your Childhood

Tell me about a toy you enjoyed in your childhood．

You should say: what the toy was when you first got it whether it was a popular toy with children and explain how much you played with it.

．What type of toy? An action figure
．How much did it cost? Was it a popular toy to have?
．Describe the toy
．How did you play with it?
．Why are toys beneficial for children?
When I was a child, my favorite toy was an action figure called Ao Te Man. It was from a Japanese cartoon on TV that all of us used to watch. I remember begging my mother to buy me the little robot so that I could play with my friends during recess at school.
It was a 30-centimeter-tall plastic action figure and it cost my mother a lot of money at the time. I think it was something like 200 yuan which is ridiculous for a simple toy, but every one of my classmates had one, so I really insisted on having one too. That was a long time ago, but I still remember it had a blue armor and it held a sword and a shield. The robot had joints which allowed
it to rotate and swing its arms．
I remember how we used to make the robots fight each other after school or on the weekend. We would imitate the cartoon we had watched and make them fly around our universe. We pretended to be the superheroes saving the world from destruction by alien robot monsters. It was a lot of fun and we spent untold hours imagining different plots for adventure stories in which our robots would attack each other.
I think these games are very good for children because they can socialize and create their own stories；it's beneficial for the kids to keep their imaginations active. One good way to do this is to imitate TV shows, even though nowadays cartoons are too often rather violent，which could have a negative effect on kids.
