    ISE II. Task1. Play Makes Children Very Happy

    Uploaded by

    Marta Fernandez Galian
    Children are happier when playing with friends than in any other situation. However, the amount of free play children engage in without adult supervision is decreasing, worrying experts who say it is important for children's development into confident, mature adults. Parents restrict outdoor play due to safety concerns, while schools focus more on academics and reduce break times rather than valuing play. Play allows children to develop interests and skills in decision making, problem solving, and following rules independently. It also helps them learn to manage emotions and social interactions by cooperating with others during make-believe and games. Those without opportunities for free play are more likely to feel a lack of control over their lives and isolated as adults.

    ISE II. Task 1.

    Play Makes
    Children Very Happy

    Paragraph 1
    Play makes children very happy. When asked, they say they are happier when playing
    with friends than in any other situation. Yet the amount of time children play together
    without parents or teachers watching them or telling them what to do (what the
    experts call ‘free play’) is getting less and less. This trend has started to worry a
    number of senior psychologists and child experts. They argue that without adequate
    time for free play children cannot develop into confident and fully mature adults,
    which will eventually have a negative effect on society as a whole.
    Paragraph 2
    Part of the problem lies with parents. They recognise that their children play by
    themselves less frequently than they did, but admit that they restrict the amount of
    outdoor play because they worry about their safety. But another part of the problem is
    that we now want school to start at a very early age. Preschools and nursery schools
    have introduced more academic activities and many schools have even reduced break
    times. This doesn’t mean we are against the idea of play, but it does show that we
    don’t value play enough as part of a child’s development.
    Paragraph 3
    Play is important because it gives children a chance to find and develop their own
    interests without being instructed by adults. It is here that children first learn how to
    make decisions, solve problems, use self-control, and follow rules. Children who don’t
    go through this stage are likely to grow up feeling that they are not in control of their
    own lives and are much more likely to feel anxious as a result.
    Paragraph 4
    As well as making decisions, children also learn how to deal with emotions such as
    anger or fear when they are playing. Things like role playing and climbing trees can be
    a little frightening but it is the children themselves who decide how far they want to go
    with each activity. People who do not have the opportunity to experience and cope
    with such feelings will be less able to manage when they are faced with emotionally
    challenging situations in adult life.
    Paragraph 5
    Finally, play is a natural means of making friends through learning to cooperate with
    other children and treating them fairly. Children must think about the needs and
    wishes of those they play with as well as their own. If they don’t, they will not be
    allowed to stay in the group (largely because their behaviour will cause the game to
    fail). Those who miss this early form of social interaction are more likely to feel socially
    isolated in later life
