A short paragraph about the "Advantage of Playing Video Games". Could you please correct my notes? Video games can have positive impacts on individuals. Playing simulation games can enhance the ability of imagination and creativity, as well as problem-solving, and logical thinking in different individuals. Playing computer simulation games can also take individuals into virtual words with lots of precious experiences, so these types of games can not only prepare them for the real-life takes, but can also improve individuals' motor skills. Children can also learn teamwork activities through team sport games, like football, and basketball. In this way, they can get acquainted with cooperation concept in such games.

A short paragraph about the "Advantage of Playing Video Games". Could you please correct my notes?

Video games can have a positive impacts on individuals. Playing simulation games can enhance the ability of imagination and creativity, as well as problem-solving, and logical thinking in different individuals. (Playing computer simulation games) This can also take individuals into virtual words with lots of precious/interesting experiences, so these types of games can not only prepare them for the real-life takes situations, but can also improve an individual's motor skills. Children can also learn teamwork activities through team sport games, like football, and basketball. In this way, they can get acquainted with WO (cooperation concept) in such games.

 

Remember your "a", "an" and "the"....can you say what these are called?  It is not an easy concept to adapt to, particularly when many languages do not use such words!  It will become easier and more natural with time but I understand it can be very frustrating so don't become disheartened everyone gets irritated by it, you are not alone :)

"impactS" should be singular, maybe by having the "a" this will make it easier to see that it is singular. 

"the ability of imagination and creativity", in the sentence that you have I would change this to "one's ability to imagine and create" or if you want to use the wording you have then I would say "the ability to imagine and create".  To complete the sentence I would suggest, "as well as developing problem solving and logical thinking skills."  .

You can replace "Playing simulation games" with "This", as you are continuing the theme from your previous sentnece so that when the reader reads "This" they know it refers to "simulation games".  By doing this your paragraph flows better and the repetition is removed.

"precious", I have changed to "interesting" but I did want to say well done for making the effort to expand the vocabulary and I can see why you might try to use that word here.  Can you think of another word that might fit?  You may feel that "interesting" is too boring a word or that it does not fully explain what you mean.

"takes" I changed to "situations" as this is not the word to use here.  Of course I may have used the wrong substitute word if you had a diffrent meaning in mind?

Punctuation -"individuals'" should be "individual's".  Here the "motor skills" are "motor skills of an individual".  Again it may be that the insertion of the "an" helps you with the apostrophe placement.  This is the only punctuation I have remarked adn I hope this is all right with you.

WO-word order - here it would be better to say "the concept of cooperation".

 

Again Sarah this is an interesting piece you have written and is clearly thought out as part of a debate/discussion.  Keep up your hard work!
