Although entering the 21st century, in the field of toys for children, gender discrimination is still clear. When entering any UK toy store, customers will be forced to choose from the very beginning: the blue row for the signboard "for boys" and conversely the pink "for babies" girl". Just like that, sexism is taught by parents from a young age. Worldpay Zinc's survey of over 2,000 people found that the majority think certain jobs are only suitable for men or women, two-thirds think men are better than women in fields such as mechanics and electronics. , carpentry. Meanwhile, 64% think professions like flower arranging are only suitable for women. Or 70% of boys will be mocked if they play with items described as "girls' toys" by their parents or relatives. Science has proven that toys are one of the tools to help children develop more comprehensively in terms of intelligence, imagination, and emotions in the first months of life. So a campaign called "Let Toys Be Toys - Let toys be toys" was launched, society began to have a different view of girls like robots and boys passionate about cooking toys. eat.

It is undeniable that toys are loved by most children, they also have a big impact on children's development and because of this, one of the biggest issues in toy industry is violence. Nowadays kids are easily attracted to violent toys especially boys and violent toys can be found everywhere for example: toy guns and some video games,... and this is very dangerous because they may incite violence, give children false information and this will affect child's personality and action in the future. After all, children are like blank papers and like you have known, just a small drop of ink can cause a big mess to the paper which is very hard to erase. Therefore these kinds of toys should be banned and besides that, parental guidance is also very important, you should encourage them to plays with toys which aren't just entertaining but also educational at the same time, with this children can learn many useful things while also being entertained.

In the past, the toy industry is not famous, fun and flexible. Nowadays, the technology upgrade to another level. So the toy industry is develop too. The toys are more convinience and modern than before. However, we produce them more special and beautiful but forgot about the education of these toys. In my opion, toys is most important things to make a good child. Toys like a bestfriend , a soulmate of children. If toys have smart education, we can teach the child easier. From that point, we are raising the geniuses of the world in the future. But if toys do not have some education, it like we are letting kids playing with bad friends. The children’s personality will be affected. Subsequently, the kids will become bad people and do lots of evil deeds. In short, the toys education are really important for us to teaching and raising the kids.

Children change rapidly, and toys industry still meets their requirements. However, a lot issues have been caused while this industry is developing. Among these, violence is one of the most serious drawbacks that affect children. From the moment they are born, children's first impression is formed by their parents' attitude toward that latest gift. Some parents have offered and bought toys with similar characteristics to those on TV or movies. When they buy new toys at the dealer, they are attracted by popular toy's name or attractive packaging of the toy. Some complain about the word "action" and "thriller". On the other hand, the toys which have been produced for long time have classic toys. Those are stuffed are made to stimulate children's imagination, but those cannot be compared with the new ones.

The toy industry is very developed in the world. It is an important industry and indispensable in the future. However, it has a big problem with environment and if we don’t treat, the world will face many serious environmental problems. The toy industry is the most plastic intensive industry in the world. The toy industry uses 40 tons of plastic for every $1 million in revenues and is the most plastic-intensive industry in the world. 90% of the toys on the market are made of plastic. Plastic toys can contain heavy metals such as lead or cadmium or other harmful chemicals such as dioxins. So, we must change for children ‘s life and our life. Companies must use materials eco-friendly such as sugarcane “plastic”. And waste in plastic processing must be treated before release it into the environment

It is undeniable that music is one of the most important in life. It helps you relax and improve your mood from that make you work more effectively. Because of that everyone listens to music and has a favorite song and so do I. The song that I like the most, also the song that is important to me is a pop song named: "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley. It was released in 1987, by the end of the same year the song was the number one single of the year in the UK, and in March 1988 it hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and until now it is still a great song and one of the greatest memes. I first heard it when I was in grade 8, and well the first time I listened to it I was confused because I don't know what is this song and my friend said the link was for a great anime that I should watch and it took me a while to know that I have been rickrolled which was pretty frustrating. Well even though my first time with this song isn't good but after a while, I have to admit the song is very good, the melody is catchy and the lyric is very positive and I don't know since when I have got addicted to the song, every time I listen to the song I feel relaxed and make me want to dance, but not if someone rickroll me.

I'm a big Kpop fan since 2019, so I have listened to so many songs. However, the song which really important to me is "Take me home" by ATEEZ, my ultimate Kpop group. It was released on March 1, 2021, in the fourth track of their sixth EP album Zero: Fever part 2. As expectation, ATEEZ always shows their own unique color in the album. This song is in the genre of Funky Rhythm's Retro Disco, represents the youth in a cold city. The compound of emotional lyrics and the city pop made this song becomes the best b-side song in 2021 by Genius Korea. For me, "Take me home" is my comfort zone every time I'm exhausted. ATEEZ successfully delivers consolation and hope to the youth who are walking on the gray streets. Like the title of the song, I always have the feeling that I'm home when I listen to it. After such a long tiring day, "Take me home" is the best medicine for my mind.

I think music is the spiritual life of many people nowadays,and of course,I am not an exception.I love listening to music, so I have a list of my favourite songs.However,the song which has special meaning for me is "What makes you beautiful" by One Direction boy band.It is a pop song and was released in 2011.When it came out,it quickly became a hit on every single music chart throughout the world,not just because of its catchy melody,but also for its cheerful lyrics.

Because I was too young when the song came out but 2 years later this song was still trendy and I heard it by chance from my aunt's phone ringtone.I prefer this song because it left a strong impression on me and since then I started listening to English music more,my listening skill and accent was improved.Actually when i first heard the song i didn't know it was about love but it made me feel happier because its melody is so cute.Yeah,that's all =))))))))
