To enhance children's development, some parents select a fairy tale book as
a gift; others choose a stuffed doll; still others pick a backetball up.Although
every item has its value, personally I find a stereo advantageous for a child's
growth to lean languages, music, and communication.
First, children can gain knowledge through language cassettes. For example,
while listening to tapes of beginner English, children follow the directions to
speak out simple words such as "A" means " Apple", "B" refers to " Bird" and "
C" defines " Cat". With a "Rewind" button, children can repeat thise basic
vocabulary as many times as they want. Under these circumstances,repeated
stimuation enables them to memeourize quickly. So, a stereto can benefit
children to study languages effectively.
Antoher contribution of a stereo for children's development is that
children can learn the rhythm, melody and lyrics. Like " Elephants", the famous
song tells kids why an elenphant has a long trunk. Also, according to various
rthym, children can express feelings in different ways. To illustrate, romatic
music like Celine Dion's " My heart with go on" has smooth and slow pace. It
makes the listener tranquil. However, pop music like Michel Jackston's "
Thriller" thrills children. So, music inspires children's minds.
Most importantly, a stereo allows cihldren to communicate with hosts of
broadcasts. For example, they can turn into talk show on 99.1 FM. There is a
program called"Take a guess" at 9:00am on weekdays. Unsually, the host asks
questions like " what is the largest animal in the world?" Every child can
respond through a phone. If someone gets the wrong answers, the host would
provide more hints and clues to children until they get the right answers. In
this way, children can improve
their imgination and creatively;in addition, they learn how to communicate
with others.
All in all, little kids can feel frustrated plyaing tapes and CD's. Also,
impatient children cannot stick with hour long or more caseettes. Nevertheless,
I strongly think a stereo is wothwhile for children's development becuase it
helps them become gifted in language, musicn and speech.

When I was about 10 years old, my older sister gave me a present. It was my
first real grown-up bicycle: a three-speed, yellow and black, shiny and new. I
still remember how excited I was. That bicycle was very important to me over the
next few years. If I wanted to give a gift that would contribute to a child's
development, I would choose a bicycle.
Bikes are great exercise. They encourage outdoor play. Television and video
games, which are the most popular children's activities nowadays, involve mostly
sitting and staring. Riding a bike makes exercise fun.
Bikes are convenient transportation, too. Without a bike you have to depend
on an adult to drive you almost everywhere. With a bike you can go farther. You
can ride to your friends' houses. If your school is close enough, you can take
yourself to school. You have control over where you go, and you 're not always
waiting or begging for a ride. Now you can say "Can I go… ?" instead of "Please
take me!"
To me as a child, a bicycle meant independence. Not only could I go
farther, but no one was watching where I went. The road went past the park, the
pond, the woods, the 7-11 store, and more. I saw the network of little
neighborhood roads from a different viewpoint. Everything was much more
interesting up close than it was through a car window. I could stop anywhere and
look at whatever I wanted. Everything was my choice. Bike riding was active, not
passive.
My bicycle gave me fun exercise, easy transportation, and freedom. For all
these reasons, I think that a bicycle is a special present for a child
