雅思口语Part 3中toys话题相关的一些问题让不少小伙伴都觉得有难度，比如：

男孩女孩喜欢的有何不同？

是不是有些玩具只适合女孩/男孩？

现在的玩具和以前的玩具有什么不同？

为什么家长要给小孩没很多玩具？

玩具应该教育性多一点还是娱乐性多一点？

玩具真的可以帮助小孩智力发展吗？

这个话题是一个涉及面比较广的话题，也不是特别好说。我们今天就玩具的教育性和娱乐性来学习一些相关的语料和素材。

首先我们来看如今常见的一些益智类玩具有哪些（大家没必要记那么多，选几个好记的即可）：

wooden blocks 积木

puzzle game 解谜游戏

pegboard 拼板类玩具

flying chess 飞行棋

construction toy 组装玩具

musical instrument 乐器

play dough 橡皮泥

flashcard 抽认卡，闪卡

writing board 书写板

jigsaw (puzzle) 拼图

Rubik’s cube 魔方

虽然大家可能已经过了与玩具共度时光的年纪，但我们还是依稀记得，小时候不管是爸妈还是其他亲戚长辈，给我们买玩具的时候似乎都会提到这个玩具有利于开发小孩的智力，有利于小孩眼手协调能力的发展，有利于激发小孩的语言能力等等。如今，似乎更是如此，我们可以看到一些亲友在给周围的小孩（主要是学前儿童）买礼物时，送益智类玩具的很多。理由几乎一摸一样。

相关表达：

seniors/relatives express love and affection through gifts 长辈/亲戚通过礼物展现（对小孩的）喜爱

prefer buying toys labelled as educational 更喜欢购买被贴上“教育性”标签的玩具

cognitive development 认知发展

have the purest and simplest intentions 目的很纯粹简单

develop a special skill 培养某种技能

boost logical thinking 促进逻辑思维

improve hand-eye coordination 促进眼手协调能力

develop numeracy skills in fun 在玩乐中培养识数/计算能力

elicit language development in children 刺激小孩的语言发展

improve children’s attention span 提高小孩注意力持续的时间

pointless toys 无意义的玩具

top the charts 占据榜首

preschooler 学龄前儿童

toddler 刚学走路的小孩

参考例句：

Early children's lives have always been filled with toys because they are believed to boost children's cognitive development, attention span, memory development, and hand-eye coordination.

Seniors in the family usually express their love and affection through gifts, and toys, in various forms and types, are the first choice.

The so-called educational toys, or toys labelled as educational, top the charts.

When people buy toys for their children, they have the purest and simplest intentions - they want their little ones to learn a thing or two while having fun.

我们可能没有在意这件事，不过雅思口语却引导我们思考了：玩具，是否应该具有教育性呢？玩具的教育性，或许一开始只是玩具生厂商为了他们的产品销量而搞出的一个噱头。不论如何，都要给自己的玩具戳上某种“教育性”的章，让他们的玩具与众不同，寓教于乐。

相关表达：

it’s all about marketing 都是市场营销

snatch a market share 抢占市场份额

begin to stack up 开始累积，开始变多

brochures and websites widely advertise for … 宣传册和网站广泛宣传……

play on parents’ fears/desire that… 利用家长……的担心/强烈希望

combine learning and entertainment 将学习与娱乐结合

merge learning with fun 将学习与玩乐融合

label sth. as 将……标榜为……

market sth. as 将……营销为……

is marketed as having specific learning outcomes 营销为带来某些学习成果

toy manufacturers 玩具生产商

publicity stunt 宣传噱头

参考例句：

Probably there’s nothing genuine behind the so-called educational toys. It’s just a publicity stunt.

Toy manufacturers play on parents’ fears that their children might be left behind if they don’t start learning at a very young age.

Modern toys, electronic ones, in particular, are marketed as having specific outcomes. The advert delivers a message that your children will gain an edge if they have such toys as company.

当然，除了玩具生厂商，如今的家长谁不希望自家的小孩从启蒙起跑线就领先别人，恨不得自己的小孩刚学会说话就能把英文字母数字说得溜起，基本的加减乘除不是什么难题。再寄托多一点希望，在孩子玩耍这些益智玩具时显露某方面的天资与才赋，比如音乐、绘画、舞蹈、逻辑能力等等。

相关表达：

be eager to do sth. 热切地想要做……

the increasing desire for parents to do sth… 家长做……的欲望/渴望越来越来强烈

give their children a head start 让他们的小孩赢在起跑线

give their children a competitive edge 让他们的小孩取得竞争优势

be bamboozled into doing… 被哄骗/欺骗去做……

be bamboozled by flashy gadgets 被花里胡哨的产品欺骗

be ahead of their peers 领先于同龄人

show a talent for sth. 在……展露天赋

logical thinking 逻辑思维

learn sth. by osmosis 潜移默化地学习

mathematical skills 数学技能

pave the way for … 为……铺路，奠定基础

参考例句：

It’s understandable that parents want to give their children a head start, and toys labelled as beneficial to children’s cognitive development have become their top choices.

It’s not parents’ fault as they’re usually bamboozled by those flashy gadgets and misleading advertisements.

Parents buy their children a bewildering array of toys in the hopes that their little ones will show a talent for something - singing, dancing and all that.

玩具能兼具教育性和娱乐性固然是件好事，不过或许我们也无需刻意或过度强调每种玩具都要有明确的教育性。让小孩玩玩具的初衷应该是希望让小孩的童年有所陪伴，增添小孩童年生活的乐趣。此外，家长陪同小孩玩耍，不论是哪种玩具，在这种互动的过程中，小孩子其实也能获得探索周围世界、锻炼运动协调能力、刺激母语发展的机会和场景。

相关表达：

deliberately 刻意地

put/place excessive emphasis on … 过度强调……

be designed for … 为……设计，目的是

provide sb. with some company 为某人提供陪伴

add spice to one’s childhood 给某人的童年增添乐趣

interaction between parents and toddlers 家长与小孩之间的互动

interaction with … 与……互动（n.）

improve motor coordination 促进运动协调能力

参考例句：

Toys are designed for pure fun. Isn’t it? It’s originally simply about providing children with some company and adding spice to their childhood.

There’s something wrong with the fact that manufacturers and parents are placing excessive emphasis on the educational benefits of toys.

Toddlers can learn a lot through interaction with their parents - they still stand a good chance of exploring the world around them, improving motor coordination and acquiring their mother tongue.
