Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Games are as important for adults as they are for children. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
---------------------------------------------------------
I fully agree that games are equally important for adults as they are for children.
Games are means of entertainment and physical exercise for children and adults. Games create; sportsman spirit, sprit of friendship and good bond with fellow players. Playing games improves physical and mental health. Furthermore playing games has very good effect on the mental as well as physical health of the individual regardless of age.
In this fast era, adults are awfully busy in business activities and other family and social obligations. There is a considerable lack of physical exercise in our lives. Depending upon the nature of work one is prone to health problems. Sedentary job doers get problems of obesity; over weight; cervical spondylitis; troubles in spine; back ache and muscular pains due to sitting in front of computers for prolonged hours. Secondly those who work in hydro carbon processing industries and other chemical and fertilizer plants are subjected to breathing problems, hearing problems etc. This is due to their exposure to gaseous and noisy atmosphere. If those adults include games as a part of their daily schedule; perhaps those health problems can be minimized if not prevented.
As a natural phenomenon; with the age people depreciate in health. Furthermore, between the age range of 60 and 65 majority people retire from job. This phase proves to be a curse to many because they are unable to handle their retirement gracefully. On the contrary they get drowned into deep depression because of joblessness and emptiness. Those deteriorate physically and mentally. If retired adults involve themselves into playing games the depression would vanish; they would lead the life with healthy body and healthy mind.
In nutshell playing games and keeping fit always, is most important for adults as well as children.

“Games & Life”
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Playing games teaches us about life. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree that playing games can teach us about life. In this era of computerization now games are available in electronic form. In this essay I shall describe e-games and their influence on our lives.
Children play educational games to learn colors, numbers, and names. Virtually all children will have played video games by the time they graduate from high school. Game play is common in college, as well. Some people play games regularly whereas others play occasionally. However, games aren’t just for youth; anyone can play games regardless of age. Gaming has become part of our culture. Today’s games are coming to represent distributed authentic professionalism,” meaning that players are learning how to be a professional—a solider, an astronaut, an entrepreneur, and so on. Games also require the player to adopt a certain set of values and a particular world view. By the end of the game, the player has essentially experienced a profession. Various types of games are as follows.
· Adventure games, where the player moves through a virtual world.
· Puzzle games that enhance player’s general knowledge.
· Role-playing games, where the player assumes the role of a person.
· Strategy games, such as The Sims, where a player’s strategy drives the game.
· Jeopardy-style games, encourage quick mobilization of facts, labels, concrete concepts
· Arcade-style games, are good for improving speed of response, and visual processing
· Adventure games, are useful for promoting hypothesis testing and problem solving.
In nutshell, games teach us quite a lot about life like making decisions, goals setting etc and a social networking through networking and emailing.

“Foreign Visitor for a Day”
A foreign visitor has only one day to spend in your country. Where should this visitor go on that day? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was on a south India tour to Tirupathi Balaji, Mysoor, Kunoor and Ooty. There I met many tourists from different countries. I had interactions with them and found that foreign nationals from developed nations like US and UK are more interested in small towns and country side villages than Indian metro cities. The visitors don’t find anything new in metros as they say. Hence I would like to take the foreigner to my country side village Chandod. I will elaborate why I want so.
Scenery of farms all over side is hilarious. When we reach the village, the villagers shall be overexcited to see a foreigner, this being a rare opportunity for them. Well, Indians are well-known for their politeness, and hospitality. The kind of hospitality the visitor shall get in this village would be second to none in the world and he or she would be delighted to receive such a warm welcome. Visitor may have a chance to have a bullock-cart ride for fun sake.
My village Chandod is on the bank of holy river Narmada. This is a very religious place and people from all over India including many NRI also come here and holy dip in Narmada river. The visitor shall have a privilege to visit the famous temple with ancient sculpture and have a holy dip in the river Narmada. Most foreigners love Indian culture very much that is evident from the live telecasts from Allahabad on Janmasthami (Lord Krishna’s birthday). Many foreign nationals dressed as Hindu Sadhus in saffron gowns sing and dance with the Indian men and women.
Also the visitor shall have an opportunity to taste Indian village food that has a unique taste that is absent in the food prepared in our big cities.
