Doing an enjoyable activity with a child can develop better skills and more creativity than reading. To what extent do you agree? Use reasons and specific examples to explain your answer.

A golden age in children is a precious moment for them. It is a period when children are dramatically increase in their brain capacity to process new things. In
this
terms, some people think that doing an enjoyable activity will help them to develop their
skill
and especially, their creativity, rather than reading. In my view, I agree with that statement.
Therefore
, in
this
essay, I will explain the reason why I support that idea. The
first
reason is gaining the motoric
skill
.
This
skill
is developed when their movement works necessary with their thought. It is very needed for the kids because
initially
, they do not have the right coordination between their will and their movement, which might lead them to do unwanted things.
For instance
: an enjoyable thing that many kids prefer are playing games. In
this
case, bulding lego or playing puzzle are the suitable actvities for developing the motoric
skill
. Why did I say that? Because lego and puzzle need their brain to imagine a picture, which need some creativity,
then
, they have to implement the depiction in the 3D form, which is chance for them to obtain a motoric
skill
. Thence, those 2 things may develop 2 skills in one time, and
moreover
, the children like it. Another reason is increasing their social
skill
. Social
skill
is needed for the children to communicate with other people. Regarding that matter,
for example
, miming game can help their brain to depict some events,
then
leads them to tell some words that represent the question. It help them to use many vocabs and acquire new vocabs that they can use in a real life.
Thus
,
this
game can give them a practice about how to explain something to older people and make them understand. So, in the end, they do not have a hard time to tell something as they know how to put the words in the right order, and in a long-term period, they can apply
this
skill
to negotiate with people as they know the right word to use. In a nutshell, some schemes,
such
as playing lego, puzzle and guessing game, can develop more than just a creativity.
Hence
, I would reiterate my belief that I agree with the term of an enjoyable activity can develop children's soft
skill
rather than just reading.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
