话题分析
其实这个话题的难度不是很大，每个人小时候基本上都会有喜欢的玩具，爱不释手的那种！在这里提醒一下大家，切记回答时要用到过去式哦~

What kind of toy it is
考鸭们可以先描述一下玩具的样子，它是什么颜色？是什么形状？材质？它是一个模型飞机（Model aircraft）/陀螺（Spinning-top）/芭比娃娃（Barbie）/遥控车（Remote-controlled car）/泰迪熊（Teddy bear）

When you received it
这个小问需要你介绍获得这个玩具的时间，最好把地点也说明。可能是在百货超市买到的（要说明什么时候买的？哪里买的？买的原因是什么？谁给你买的？花了多少钱？）；也可能是别人送的礼物，（谁送的？为什么送？什么时候送的？）

How you played it
这个小问稍微有点难度，不过如果你把这个问题拆分成和谁一起玩的/在哪玩的/什么时间玩会简单很多，Who+When+Where=How~
And explain how you felt about it
喜欢一个玩具的原因因人而异，比较好说的理由是玩具能够帮助你形成某种品质，积木/乐高等玩具帮助你提高动手能力；益智类玩具帮助你增强想象力和创造力；芭比娃娃让你对美有了认知；在玩的同时你学会了和小伙伴合作以及分享....

I believe the toy that I remember best from my childhood was a toy farm. It consisted of small plastic farm animals, such as cows, sheep and pigs, and a few plastic farmers, his wife and children. It also had fences that you could attach to each other to create fields, which is a lot of fun.

It was given to me as a birthday gift by my parents on my fourth birthday, as they had seen me looking longingly at the plastic farm animals in a toy shop. I can still recall how excited I was when I opened the present. It is one of my earliest memories.

As soon as I had opened it, I immediately started to set up the farm on the floor. It quickly became my favourite toy.

How I felt about it.. well, I really love it. It was my own little world. I used to spend hours setting up all the little fences and deciding which parts of the floor would become the fields. Then I would put the cows in one field. Usually it was a peaceful game, but sometimes I would lose temper if the animals, particularly the cows, kept falling over. Occasionally my elder sister would drive her toy car straight through the farm, which would make me cry.

I still have the toy farm and my little niece recently set it up again, so it made me feel nostalgic and happy to see the farm back in action.

# How do advertisements influence children?
I think there are many ways ads could have effects on children. children are often likely to be attracted by food and toys ads. So if the marketing team decides to put their promotion frequently or even permanently  on those websites and tv channels children mostly visit and make them colorful and joyful, there is a huge chance kids will decide to buy.

# Should advertising aimed at kids be prohibited?
I think that depends. Most products aimed at children are food toys and drinks. They are in general not bad for children’s health, I don’t think there is any reason for government to ban then promotion . But products like cigarettes and alcohol should never be promoted in any places children have access to.

# What s the difference between the toys kids play now and those they played in the past?
Some toys I used to play are still played by kids nowadays like lego. But the major difference is that we didn’t have that many electronic devices to play back then. Children nowadays play computer games from their or their parents ipads since the very beginning, which was unimaginable back when I was little.

# Do you think parents should buy more toys for their kids or spend more time with them?
I don’t think the two choices contradict with each other. Of course if situation allows, parents should spend more time with children for their better growth and the sense of family. In the meantime, they could play toys together, like building legos or playing switch. That would be so much fun and could prevent children from being addicted.
