　　• Shape one’s personality

　　玩具可以帮助孩子形成某一种性格，比如：积木类的玩具可以让孩子变得更有耐心，更懂坚持;魔法棒类带有一定能量色彩的玩具可以让孩子变得更具有正义感; 不倒翁系列的玩具则可以教会孩子面对失败要有失败要有重新站起来的勇气。

　　Example one：

　　A big but silly reason why I liked the magical wand 仙女棒 so much was it made me feel like a super hero. In the cartoon, the wand is used to protect people and fight evil. When I was young, I was a bit timid, but I always felt brave when I held it in my hand.

　　I protected girls who were being bullied and scared off the annoying boys. It seemed like I was very dangerous and unsafe, but I really enjoyed the moment as I could protect my friends.

　　Example two：

　　I was really into my Lego. Not only was it fun, but it made me a patient and persistent person. When I first got the Lego, I thought it would be a breeze 简单. However, it was not as easy as I thought. You need to use your imagination and be patient to create your own Lego world.

　　Sometimes, I would get annoyed, but my father told me to keep going and never give up. Over the years, I created some very impressive structures. I think Lego taught me the importance of persistence and gave me the ability to overcome obstacles and challenges.

　　Example three：

　　My Weeble 不倒翁 was my favorite toy. I liked watching it wobble and stand up again. My dad always told me it showed the importance of picking yourself up 重振旗鼓 when things get difficult.

　　Obviously at the time, I was too young to really know what that meant, but now I can see the relevance. Now when I am faced something challenging, I just picture my Weeble.

　　• Discover talents

　　玩具可以发现孩子独有的才能。比如：画画类的玩具可以展现孩子的绘画天赋;乐高类的玩具也可以展现孩子的建造才能。

　　Example one：

　　I loved my easel because it really helped me discover my talent for painting. At first, my mum bought it for me to scribble on 乱涂乱画. However, as time passed, she noticed how my drawings were improving.

　　As a result, she decided to send me to art classes and that is how I got into art. Thanks to my easel, I am now a successful painter.

　　Example two：

　　I loved my lego so much because it helped me discover my talent for construction. When I was young I would build all kinds of buildings and the older I got the more impressive they became. I loved the process from start to finish, so I knew one day I would be a builder or architect.

　　• Develop personal skills

　　玩具也可以帮助孩子提升个人能力。比如：玩偶类的玩具可以让孩子学会如何照顾人以及如何成为一个有责任感的人; 厨具类的玩具则可以培养孩子的做饭能力。

　　Example one：

　　I absolutely loved my doll and I would take her everywhere. I would give her meals and make sure she always had nice clothes. I think this is why I now like looking after others. I really care about people and worry if they are not well looked after.

　　Example two：

　　I loved my easy-bake oven very much. Even though it was not a real kitchen, I think it started my love of cooking. I used to enjoy chopping, mixing and serving food. Nowadays, there is nothing more satisfying than preparing and cooking a meal for friends or loved ones. I have dinner parties every month.

　　• Companion

　　玩具也是孩子童年时候的陪伴。比如：玩偶类的玩具不会让孩子感到孤单，同时还可以缓解孩子的紧张情绪。

　　Example：

　　I was afraid of the dark when I was young and I didn’t like to be alone at night. I thought there were ghosts and monsters. That’s why I loved my teddy bear. When I was scared, I would hug him tightly and he would comfort me and protect me from all my fears. I always slept well when he was next to me.

　　• Capture imagination

　　玩具可以帮助孩子提升想象力，比如：玩偶类的玩具可以让孩子徜徉在自己的世界中，创造不同的人物形象。

　　Example：

　　I loved my doll's house because it captured my imagination. It was like my own little world. I would create scenarios 情景 and roles for all the dolls and it would keep me entertained for hours.

　　I liked dressing up the dolls too and I would make furniture from bits and pieces lying around the house. It was a happy world where only great things happened.

　　• Popularity

　　在一定程度上，玩具也可以让一个孩子受到更多人的欢迎，如果这个玩具很稀有或者这个玩具可以让孩子充分展示某方面才能的话。

　　Example one：

　　I really liked it, as, at the time, it was the coolest toy to have and made me the most popular person in my class. Hardly anybody had the limited-edition transformer, so everybody was talking about mine. Suddenly, I had a lot more friends.

　　Example two：

　　I really liked it because I had the best yo-yo skills at my school. Every time I competed with others, I won. Because of this, everyone knew who I was and liked to challenge me. Even some senior students knew about me. I was known as the yo-yo champion.
