【小鹏哥3月31日雅思写作预测回顾】
【科技类】
A study shows that a lot of children, from the age 7 to 11, spend too much time watching television or playing video games. How do you think this problem influence the children, their families and the society? What measures should be taken to solve it ? 研究显示，7 岁到 11 岁的年轻人花费太多时间看电视，玩游戏，这对于孩子，家庭和社会的影响何在? 应该如何解决?
【头脑风暴】
① 笑笑三岁，三岁的笑笑特别喜欢玩I-pad的街机三国游戏，他知道张飞、关羽、赵云、李典、肥肥等人物。游戏给他带来感官快乐的同时，也危害到他的健康。因此，爸爸会严格控制他的游戏时间，我更喜欢带着他登玉皇山。
② 我们已从互联网时代进入到无线互联网时代。手机游戏或者电脑游戏成为年轻人放松娱乐的重要方式之一。游戏是一把双刃刀，对于玩家而言，在放松消遣的同时，也耽误了宝贵的时间，影响了学习和工作。
【思路拓展】
鼓励孩子们玩游戏的利好：
① 丰富多彩的游戏节目成为很多学生缓解压力，释放情绪的一种有效方式。设想，孩子们在校努力学习，课后读补习班，作业繁重，鲜有大量的时间休闲娱乐，玩游戏可令学生们暂时忘记现实生活中的烦恼和压力。
② 一些竞技类的游戏其实是锻炼玩家的反应能力和布局能力的，因此，学生玩家也会培养多方面能力，例如手眼并用，危机处理，团队协作等。
③ 有些游戏的设计，以学习为导向，寓教于乐，让玩家在娱乐中学习知识，这也可以提高他们的学习效率，激发他们的学习热情。
鼓励孩子们玩游戏的弊端：
① 学生们的主要任务是学习知识，考虑到孩子们的自律性较差，允许孩子们玩优秀容易使他们分散精力，耽误学习。
② 过度沉迷游戏有害健康，具体而言，玩家会视力下降，养成懒惰和久坐的生活习惯，不愿从事户外运动，因而导致肥胖。然而，户外运动是更好的方式放松身心，提高学习效率。
③ 少儿不宜的游戏内容是精神鸦片。暴力，色情，血腥的信息，对于成长中的年轻人而言，毒害其心灵，误导人生观，诱发暴力冲动，导致校园欺凌或少年犯罪的上升，可能会危害社会。
