托福写作范文：
Some think that games teach us about life. Others think that life is simply a grand game that one must learn to play. In any case games are part of the lives of every human, whatever culture. Although the rules to games may be different, and the reasons for playing certain games diverse, it is indisputable that playing games teaches us about life.
First of all, playing games teaches us about teamwork. Most games demand more than one participant, and several require that one work in unison with one or more other people on a team. When one is member of a team, one learns to put the team first rather than personal success. For instance, I played right fullback on an intramural soccer team at Oxford University. Without the work of myself and teammates at the back, clearing balls and passing up to the wings, our speedy strikers could not score. Conversely, without the speed and scoring ability of our strikers, no matter how solid we played on defense, we could not win the game. Soccer, then, demands that the entire team work in unison, performing discreet tasks that further a team goal, rather than an individual one. Playing soccer helped me to learn about teamwork, and this knowledge has spilled over into my life in other ways. At my job, I constantly have to work with people. Working with people in my occupation is similar to playing soccer. Team goals become more important than personal ones, and learning to support each other during work time comes easily, as I had already learned these skills on the pitch.
Playing games also teaches us about preparation, which is vital both on the field and off of it. When I was twelve years old, I learned a valuable lesson about preparation from my basketball coach. After a particularly uninspired practice, my coach gathered us around. He said, “You play like you practice. And your sloppy practice will appear during the game.” He was right. At our next game, we fumbled our passes, became frustrated with each other, and lost the game. My teammates and I resolved to focus harder in practice, and steadily our play in games improved. My coach’s adage “you play like you practice” translates directly into life. Without specific preparation in work or at home, we rarely succeed. Preparation is paramount to success, and I learned this on the basketball court.
In summary, by teaching us about teamwork and preparation, games have direct relevance to life. For me, these lessons came on the sports field; for others they may come by participating in a variety of games, athletic or not. Games are a vital part of life, and they have many skills to impact that are applicable after the game is over.
