Have you ever played video games for an extended period of time and your parents have yelled at you and said that video games are bad for you and wont benefit you? If yes then today im going to talk about the pros and the cons to video games!
Lets start with the pros, Playing video games can not only make you better at thumb wrestling but can also give you better eye hand coordination that can help you in school courses like tech ed, seeing that i play allot of video games and im quite good at tech ed this may be true in some cases. Playing video games can also improve your imagination, I mean all video games are created by the developer imagining and being as creative as can be to create the video game and make it more fun for the players! Not to forget that playing video games can also be a good learning experience depending on the types of games you play, I myself like war games, so i know allot about modern guns and older guns and other weapons, Lets pretend that's a good thing. Minecraft can also be a good learning experience, other than the extremely unrealistic physics you can learn about different types of ores! Also Chicago based psychologist Dr.Kouroush Dini argues that Video games can teach us empathy, He states that one of the biggest things about playing video games is that youre interacting with other people in such way that you have to actively think about what other people are doing or thinking in order to play against them or play cooperatively with them.
Now we can talk about the cons, some cons to playing video games is that you can become quite addicted to them, which i may or may not be but i am not at the point where i don't eat or do any of my school work which some people have their lives ruined by. Also by playing video games you are not getting much exercise, even with the Wii, but seriously who even plays that these days? Another con is that some New York police have found that, some crimes committed in real life are connected to some done in Grand theft auto, im not saying that because you play GTA you are automatically a murderer or a thief, im just saying there may be a small chance.
In conclusion as long as you dont get highly addicted and still do your homework and some sort of physical activity besides PE, Video games might actually benefit you!
I liked that you added some humor into your speech, it'll help allot to keep the audiences attention and it'll also keep them interested and inclined to listen. The topic was a really good choice because lots of people (especially the guys) will be able to connect to what your talking about. In your speech you mentioned no one plays wii anymore then that some people can get addicted to other video games and also that they dont give you any exercise, try to add in some more examples of what people play now and how they get addicted or how to make sure you dont get addicted. If you want to add on to the conclusion, maybe do some research and find a short story/ a statistic where an example of how videos games can benifit you, that could wrap up your speech a little more fully. Overall good job it sounds like Video games arent as bad as people say
ReplyDeleteI liked how you did your speech about something you like and know. I also like how your speech had humour in it, so you will keep the audience interested. To improve your speech you could add more examples adn maybe even add a story about a kid who is addicted or something like that. You had a good intro but you could imrove your conclusion. To improve your conclusion you can add a story about yourself or someone else. The body of your speech was good and you explained why you think video games aren't a bad thing. You can improve your switch of paragraphs, not just saying "now we can talk about the cons, some cons to playing video games." Overall your speech is good.
