Bài mẫu chủ đề “Describe a toy you liked in your childhood”

You should say:

• What the toy was

• How old you were when you had it

• Did you play with the toy by yourself or with other kids

• And explain how you felt about this particular toy.

I’d like to talk about kites, which are very popular amongst many young children in my country. I still remember when I was 7, I went back to my hometown and spent the summer with my grandparents. Every afternoon, when the wind was blowing, other kids in the neighborhood ran to the field near my grandparents’ house and flew colorful objects in the sky, which were kites, obviously. Kites come in many different shapes and colors, which is often the reason why they attract children. One day,  I pestered my grandma to get me a kite of my own because I was the only kid who didn’t have one. I was so happy during that summer because I could play along with other kids. As I grew older, I noticed that children were no longer interested in flying kites because they were becoming more into tech devices and I also lost the kite that my grandmother got me bạck then. But whenever I come back to my hometown of Vung Tau during summer, there is an annual International Kite Festival and this event is really reminiscent of my happy childhood. Nowadays, people make more sophisticated kites in the shape of phoenixes, butterflies and even dragons. They also replace thick bamboo strings with thinner ones or plastic rope. But for me, the traditional ones, like the one I received when I was a kid, are the best.

What kind of toys were famous in your childhood? How about these days?

I remember dolls and teddy bears were everyone's favorite toys when I was a kid. A Barbie Doll or Hello Kitty was like a treasure to any kid and it was so costly back then.

They have little interest in stuffed animals or physical toys like cars or dolls, like the older generation.

Do you think parents should buy more toys for their children or spend more time with them instead?

Definitely spending more time with them is the better option. Even though kids seem like they enjoy playing with toys all by themselves, children always need affection and attention from their parents. Besides, spending time playing and chatting with children is a great way to form a deeper connection with them.
