【推荐3】“I liked to play with toys in the past, but now I don’t,” said one of my friends, “Playing with toys is a waste of time for students.”

Maybe you are like him. But in my class, some students love playing with a special toy—Kendama. In Chinese, we call it Jianyu.

With a rich history, Kendama is very popular in my class. It first appeared in France. In the 1600s, it came to Japan and became a kind of game after dinner. In the 1900s, Japanese people made it more interesting and shared different ways to play it. And they called it Kendama, which means “cup and ball games” in Japanese.

It has a handle(手柄), a pair of cups and a ball. And a rope gets them together. When you play with it, you can pull(抛) the ball up and get it with the cup. You can make up different moves as you like. You can buy a Kendama on the Internet. Some of them are cheap. And you can learn to play with it on the Internet, too.

“It’s really interesting,” said Deng Chuqin, a Kendama player in my class, “This toy makes my life more interesting. It’s relaxing.”

Though learning how to play Kendama is difficult, you can do it well by practicing often. It is a toy that can teach you never to give up on your dream.
