You should say:

and explain why you enjoyed playing with this toy.
The toy I am going to talk about is very special to me. It’s a blue remote car which I used to play with for quite a long time. My parents brought it for me as my birthday gift when I was 10. I always desired to get one, but I never told my parents because of the high price. When other children played it at the square, the only thing I could do was watching. So, I still remember, when I first touch it, how excited I was. It is the model of MINI. From that day, every Sunday, I joined with the other children who also had the remote car and we played together. In my children day, we did not have the modern/advanced equipment for instance the track which was used for playing the remote car, yet we still had a very happy time. We made the track by ourselves by our bags, books and other items. Designing the track was always a happy time. We talked about how to design it to make it more challenge and funny. Now I still have it, I keep it in my closet. I had lots of tools. However, I extremely treasure this remote car.
1. What are some differences between boys' toys and girls' toys? （比较男孩玩具和女孩玩具。男孩喜欢枪，车之类的东西，女孩喜欢娃娃，毛绒玩具……颜色上或者设计风格上也有很大区别。）
?Girls like pink clothing and pictures of flowers and dolls.Girls like barbie dolls and a dollhouse? Girls like shoes that have pretty pictures. Girls like wearing
jeans with flowers.New Oriental School
?Not ALL girls' clothes are pink. the difference is the way they are designed.
girls' clothes have certain advertisements such as barbie or bratz for younger
kids. boys' clothes have things like yugioh or monsters or whatever on them.
boys like to play with trucks and cars and girls like dolls and such.
2. Which toys do most people prefer to buy, imported toys or domestically made toys? (Why?) （人们更喜欢进口玩具还是国产玩具？其实这取决于个人喜好，或者孩子们受国产动画片影响大还是国外卡通片影响大。与质量没有太大关系。）
3. Why do children like some toys but dislike other toys? （个人喜好问题）
4. Compare the advantages and (possible) disadvantages of children playing alone and children playing with other children.（这是较有难度的问题。自己玩能开发想象力，动手能力。和别人一起玩则可以增强合作性……）?Children playing by themselves develop independence through imaginative play and depending on themselves to be entertained. Children playing with
others must learn to cooperate
?Advantages of Playing with Others: Kid develops socially and is less likely to be shy and will find it easier to make friends. They tend to learn how to
talk better sooner, and develop their motor skills faster because they learn
from their peers.New Oriental School
?Children playing alone:
Adavantages - they will be more independant
Disadvantages - you run the risk of your kid being strange and socially
awkward. Children playing with others:
Advantages - Everything. Because of their socialization they will be more
"normal." That's what human interaction does. People learn how to cope with not getting your way all the time, learn to share, be unselfish, and most
importantly what's is or is not socially acceptable/unacceptable.
Disadvantages - your child might get injured or even killed by playing with
others by getting themselves in situations they otherwise wouldn't (but then
again they could get themselves killed being alone also). They could get
negatively influenced by peers to do not so good things.
?Advantages of playing alone- they learn to use their Imagination, they sometimes can learn new things by focusing on it, without being disturbed by another child wants or opinions.
Disadvantages of playing alone- They usually have a hard time adapting to
other children in social enviorments, they sometimes don't like sharing items
if they play alone lot.New Oriental School
Advantages of playing with others- they learn to share, they learn new
games, different ways to do things, they sometimes can learn things quicker
form another child showing them. you as a parent can see how they interact
with other children to see if they are socially where they need to be for their
age. You also can view how other parents handle issues that you may need
help with. You also can learn their play style.
Disadvantages for playing with others- they fight over toys, they learn
some behavior or language that you may not find acceptable for your family
morals and values. sickness goes around quicker because small children put
everything in their mouths .
