Video games are good  

     Video games have been increasing in  their popularity since they first came out.In fact,they had grown to be the favorite childhood activity for children in this twentieth century.So, do video games bring harm to us ? In my opinion, video games give positive effect to children more than negative effect.Video games improve your  learning skills,decision making speed and the bond between family. It also helps to increase self-confidence and self esteem.

     First of all,video games give your brain a real work out.In many video games, the skills required to win involve high level thinking and planning. You need to make a plan or quickly solve a problem which faced during the games to obtain success. You may cope your problem easily in reality after some practices. These skills are not even taught at school.Some educational video games may improve your learning skills.For example, Merriam Webster's Spell Jam may improve your vocabulary and spelling.

     Video games may improve your decision making speed. People who played action-based video and computer games can make decision faster than those who do not play video and computer games. This is because you need to make decision and act on them perfectly and in a fast speed while you are playing video games.Players can also pay attention without getting confused.For example, players who play shooting games has to be focus on the enemies or else you will be shoot by your enemies if you are not paying attention.

     Moreover, the bond between your family may be improve because of video games.Some video games are attractive to children and adults.These games allow you to play with your children and have fun together.It helps you to have some common things to share or talk with children and accompany your children more often.When your child knows more about the video games,he can teach you.This may allow you to bond your relationship with your family.

     Lastly, video games increase your self-confidence and self-esteem.In many games, there are several levels to improve yours skills in playing your games and see how far you can go.The more level you have completed,the more difficult the next level will be.So, as a beginner, you will begin at the easiest level.After you managed to complete the level, you will begin with a more difficult level.It helps you to slowly building up your skills.After some practices and you have mastered the game, you will become confident when facing difficult challenges .You may learn not to give up easily when you can't handle the problem.Everyone will face failure in life .However ,for those who often play video games will not give up easily as they have lose in games for several times and they know that continue practicing or doing will helps you to gain success.

     In a conclusion, although playing video games can be a good activity for us, we still have to arrange our time for playing video games.Everything should be taken in moderation.So,we have to limit our time for playing video games and do some other activity which is good for us such as reading and exercising.
