Some smart people did some research. 有一群人做了研究。And they found out
that playing video games might be good for kids' brains!
他們發現，打電動有可能對小朋友的頭腦更好！

They found out that playing video games helps kids with reading and speaking.
閱讀跟溝通能力都進步了。

They also found out that a lot of the kids said they read more.
他們還發現，孩子們開始讀更多書。

This is because they started reading things about the video games they were
playing. 他們是閱讀那些他們喜歡的電玩的書。

Things like reviews of the game, and books about the games.

And reading helps with writing! 多閱讀，對寫作也有幫助!

So a lot of the kids' writing skills got better too.

And of course, playing video games made the kids happier!

Because they could play games with their friends and family members.
當然，跟朋友和家人一起打電動，小朋友變開心了
