Эссе: Playing games teaches us about life

Some people say that there is nothing educational in computer games, while others are sure that they can be used for educational purposes. In this essay, I will try to look upon this issue. I agree with the second point of view. Games can teach people. First, puzzle games improve logical thinking, reasoning and problem-solving skills. 3D games increase spatial awareness, strategies improve prediction and planning. Second, there are a lot of educational games for small children and for adults. Today you can find a game for any academic subject. Nevertheless, there are people who are sure that computer games do not teach us anything. They claim that they are total time-wasters and people play for hours instead of learning something for real. I cannot totally agree with that point of view because despite they are taking the time they can teach time management and self-control. If a child is allowed to play a limited amount of time, he will learn to manage limited time. To sum up, I would like to say that computer games can be educational, but we should choose them ourselves. We waste time or learn something useful depends on us.
