Not every learning process has to be boring. In the search a new method of teaching, video games, often considered by teachers and parents to be one of the greatest enemies of this task, could be reevaluated as a useful tool to aid this process, offering a great variety of contents, and it deliverers them in fun and interactive way.
One of the most difficult and recurring challenges teaching any subject is keeping the student motivated and entertained during the lecture, and games do precisely that., tThey keep the player focused and therefore acquiring the knowledge that allows them to move forward in the game. I know that because I play video games and I have experienced first hand their hypnotic effect, and I have used video games as a tool to teach history to my brother, who hates that subject. For that purpose, when he asked me to help him with roman history, I picked up a game in which the player takes the role of a roman major, or eEdil in this case, during the transition from the Republic to Empire, so he learned about of the issues of that time, like the political problems between Caesar and Pompeii, the threat of barbarian invasions and how it felt to actually live during that time.
In addition to that, it's remarkable how games challenge the player to manage a lot of different variables at the same time, demanding to plan ahead and adapt the responses to the circumstances, quickly and accordingly. Most strategy games defy the player with different scenarios and events, so he or she has to design a strategy and adapt it as the game evolves, in order to win. "Sid Meier's Civilization V" is a game that helped me to be more flexible in my way of thinking and planning, since the player has to choose from a lot of different civilizations, each with their own abilities and weaknesses. With that, the player has to figure out a way to win the match as the game presents new information such as the other civilizations in the game, the geographical location, technological advancements and unexpected events.
In the light of the foregoing, I consider that games could be a useful tool when teaching different subjects, and by doing so, they make it an exciting process of learning. Moreover, games are versatile, so you can always find a game that suits your personal enjoyment, entertainment and education.

Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
It is not exactly right on the topic in the view of e-grader. Maybe there is a wrong essay topic.
