What is the writer’s opinion of playing computer games?
The Internet has become widely available and computer games have become more popular than ever before. But is this a good thing?
I don’t believe it is, but others might disagree. In my opinion, many young people spend more time online playing games than doing sport or exercising. What is more, computer games can be addictive. This means that people are not in control of their habit and spend hours in front of a computer screen. As a result, they don’t study or spend time with family and friends. Others may say playing computer games is fun. Young people work hard at school and need to take time off their studies to enjoy themselves. Furthermore, computer games can improve your thinking skills because you need to think and react quickly to situations in a game. However, I don’t agree with this opinion. Young people should avoid computer games because it s almost impossible for them to control how much time they spend on them. Besides, we’ve all got enough bad habits already without adding one more to the pile. In conclusion, although computer games can be entertaining. I think there is a real danger they can do more harm than good Thus, parents should set strict boundaries for their children to follow concerning this type of entertainment.

Internet computer games are a safe and worry-free form of entertainment for young people. I do not agree with this statement.
In my opinion, computer games are not completely safe because they can be addictive. Many young people spend too much time playing instead of studying, exercising or meeting friends. As a result, they may become less active and less sociable.
Some people believe that computer games are harmless because they are fun and can help young people relax after school. They also say that games can improve reaction speed and thinking skills, since players have to make quick decisions.
However, I do not think these advantages are enough to make computer games safe. If teenagers play for too long, they can lose control of their time and develop bad habits. In addition, too much screen time can harm their health and reduce the time they spend with family and friends.
In conclusion, although computer games can be entertaining, I believe they are not a worry-free form of entertainment. Young people should play them only in moderation.
