Question

【题目】 Building blocks (积木) are still one of the most popular traditional toys today. They were first made of wood. Today, wooden building blocks are still used, but now there are more different types of building blocks for children to choose from, like plastic building blocks. The easy use and interesting design attract (吸引) children of all ages. Maybe that is why they are still welcomed today. Children build all kinds of things that they see in everyday life with building blocks. Building blocks are helpful for children to learn new things and many skills.

Building blocks can help children practice their languages. Most children talk to each other as they build things with these traditional toys. When some kids don’t know how to build things, they will also ask others for help.

In addition, this type of toy also helps develop the skills that children need in life. As they begin to join groups playing with building blocks, they learn to take turns, share, and solve problems with others.

However, these are not the only advantages of playing building blocks. Building blocks help develop children’s skills in math and science as well. They allow children to work according to the steps of scientific discovery. They are first to watch and to think, and then to test. Both traditional and modern toy building blocks come in different shapes, colors and sizes. These types of building blocks encourage children to develop skills in dividing things.
