16. Indoor Games
16.1. Do you play any indoor games?
I don’t have an inborn talent for sports but have developed a strong passion for table
tennis - an indoor game I took up during my university. At other times,
I show a big
preference for badminton, which boosts my height and increases my flexibility greatly.
16.2. Do you prefer to play indoor games or outdoor games?
If I were to take a pick, I’d definitely go for indoor games for the simple reason that in
this tropical country, there are frequent downpours. So I guess it’s quite inconvenient if
you have a match of any game in bad weather condition. In this respect, indoor games
serve a better purpose.
16.3. What indoor games did you play when you were a child?
There are a couple of games, actually, but the one I want
to single out the most is
badminton. Although most people would go to the park for a match of this game, I’d
rather go to some clubs where it is played indoors. And, I’m a fan of this sport since I
was knee high to a grasshopper.
16.4. Is there any particular indoor game that you liked?
Just as I have mentioned, I have a particularly strong passion
for a range of indoor
games, not because I fear the open outdoors but it seems pretty convenient to play
those games. For me, nothing compares to badminton when it comes to strengthening
your stamina and increasing your body agility.
16.5. What sorts of indoor games do children play now?
As far as I’m concerned, the kids today only go for one or two types of indoor sports,
instead they are more hooked on outdoor activities simply because they are vibrant and
dynamic than the previous generations. One of the most popular game I guess is chess
as it involves little movement and requires only a board to play.
17. Video Games
17.1. What is the benefit of video games?
Video games can be very entertaining Users, or gamers, are transported into virtual
worlds which are often more exciting and engaging than real-life pastimes. They can
shoot their opponents in the games, chat with them and having a blast with their virtual
characters.
17.2. Can video games be educational?
From an educational perspective, these games encourage imagination and creativity,
as well as concentration, logical thinking and problem solving, all of which are useful
skills outside the gaming context. Furthermore, it has
been shown that computer
simulation games can improve users’ motor skills and help to prepare them for real-
world tasks, such as flying a plane.
17.3. What are the drawbacks of video games?
Gaming can be highly addictive because users are constantly given scores, new targets
and frequent rewards to keep them playing. Many children now spend hours each day
trying to progress through the levels of a game or to get a higher score than their
friends. This type of addiction can have effects ranging from lack of sleep to problems
at school, when homework is sacrificed for a few more
hours on the computer or
console. The rise in obesity in recent years has also been linked in part to the sedentary
lifestyle and lack of exercise that often accompany gaming addiction.
17.4. What are the benefits of computer games?
Computer games have many educational benefits, for example,
they help children
develop problem-solving and analytical skills, such as drawing conclusions,
seeking
alternatives and making predictions. Computer games increase cognitive skills and
encourage practical experience.They are designed to encourage creativity, initiatives
and mental power. Many computer games are used to teach and reinforce academic
subjects , e. g. some computer games enhance mathematical skills. Computer games
are designed to be entertaining; most computer games offer a multiplayer function;
inviting people to share their entertainment.
17.5. What are the drawbacks of computer games?
Most computer games encourage violent tendencies such as aggression, antisocial
behaviour and recklessness. There are many games which show graphic fight scenes
where the most brutal is most applauded. The language tends to be violent. Moreover,
computer games can not only decrease interaction and social skills, but it also causes
psychological and mental problems tension.
18. Music
18.1. Do you often (like to) listen to music? Or Do you like listening to songs?
So far I haven’t met anyone who dislikes listening to music. However, when the
workload is too heavy that requires me to stay highly focused, music is a huge distractor.
Unlike many people who like listening to instrumental music because it highly benefits
for their concentration and study, in my case the music makes me feel instantly sleepy.
18.2. When do you listen to music?
Well, music is essential to human in the whole world so I’m no exception. I usually listen
to cheerful music when I need motivation while sad music is my
go-to choice during
emotional days.
