题目大意：
一些人认为现代的游戏不能发展很广泛的技能，而传统的游戏可以更好的发展技能。同意不同意？
思路解析：
这是一道观点类的话题，聊的是传统游戏和现代游戏的作用对比，话题不算难，但是审题上有陷阱要注意，一共要注意两个点：一是题目给出了两个观点，现代游戏不能发展广泛的技能，以及传统游戏相较于现代游戏能更好的发展技能，因此对两点需要分别进行论证，我们建议反对角度切入会更好写，否则需要两个观点都做同意论证难度较大；二是很多同学讲到现代游戏就容易联想到电脑（手机）游戏，然后就会讲他们的坏处，但这是偏题的，因为只要求大家分析传统游戏跟现代游戏在培养技能方面的影响，所以不需要设计电脑游戏的坏处。
下面就和大家来具体梳理下观点~
首先要讨论的一个问题，什么是现代游戏、什么是传统游戏，题目中并没有给出明确定义。举例来说，电脑（手机）棋牌类应该算作传统还是现代游戏？如果以电子产品为划分，那它应该是现代游戏，如果以品类为划分它应该又是传统游戏。因此，当无法明确区分什么传统游戏或现代游戏时，在此基础上的得出的结论也是不合理的。
其次，我们假设简单以出现时间划分传统游戏与现代游戏，比如将近20年出现的游戏归为现代游戏，会发现无论传统还是现代游戏，都能够锻炼参与者的技能。比如18世纪就出现的数独游戏和近年兴起的剧本杀，都能够锻炼人们的逻辑思维能力；传统的篮球运动和电子在线竞技游戏（MOBA，王者荣耀、LOL都属于这一类）也都能锻炼参与者的团队配合与判断能力；而诸如舞蹈游戏或switch的健身环同样能锻炼孩子的体能。而至于现代和传统哪个能够更好的锻炼能力，这个better也是没有固定标准，两者在不同场景下往往会有各自的好。因此，否认现代游戏的锻炼作用以及认为传统游戏更能够锻炼参与者的能力是错误的观念。
范文示例：
Modern games, especially video games, are taking over traditional games as children’s major leisure activities. Some people think they are of less value when it comes to foster skills. I disagree with this view as both types of activities have their distinct advantages.
It is undeniable that traditional games are more conducive to developing exercising skills. Many games passed down through generations are involved in physical activities. For example, tag and chase can foster children’s running skills, while jump rope can improve flexibility and physical coordination. In addition, traditional games often provide abundant opportunities to communicate face to face, helping to hone social skills. By contrast, modern games are often played by children at home where they are more likely to have interaction with machines, so they are less productive in improving interpersonal skills.
However, I believe modern games also have their advantages over traditional ones. Firstly, a certain proportion of modern games need teamwork and players can develop group work skills as they sometimes have to be united to overcome some challenge. In addition, many complicated online games involve tactics and strategies, which allows children to develop abilities such as quick thinking to act satisfactorily in the face of problems presented to them. Finally, traditional games cannot be compared to their electronic equivalents in terms of keeping up with the times by being exposed to state-of-the-art technologies.
To conclude, it is unjustified to say that traditional games are more valuable than modern ones as both can help children acquire useful skills in life.
