Gaming: the Good and … the Good!

by Isobel Simpson
I read so many articles in which people disagree about gaming: computer games are
bad for you; board games are boring; phone games are addictive; we play too many
games; gaming is good for you; gaming makes you smart. Well, why don’t we
focus on the positives and forget about the negatives?
My dad really wanted me to play board games, but I found most of them boring.
Not only that, I always lost! Chess is a good example. Dad taught me when I was
quite young, but I couldn’t ever beat him. But I found a great computer game that
helped me play chess better. After a few months, I was able to compete with him
more equally. Sometimes I even won, which made it much more fun! I think that’s
a positive experience of both board games and computer games. I learned from one
to become better in another.
We have a rule in our house. We can play computer games for two hours a day. But
one hour must be spent playing with at least one other member of the family. It’s a
great rule because it means that we often play together. We buy games which are
good for playing in a group. The result is that we spend time together having fun as
a family. Sometimes, we spend the whole two hours playing games together.
So my advice is, take the positive aspects of gaming and make them work for you!
Read the blog post. What is the writer’s main point?
A ☐ She thinks there are positive things in all kinds of games.
B ☐ She believes that computer games are more fun than board games.

Hi Nina,
How’s it going? I wanted to let you know how I’m doing with my fitness plan.
Well, I’ve been getting up earlier in the morning so that I have time to go running.
At the moment, I’m only running for about one kilometre. It’s hard work, but I
listen to podcasts to make it more interesting. My breakfasts are now much
healthier. I have toast with brown bread and some fruit.
For the past week, I’ve walked to school. It takes half an hour! When I went on the
bus, it only took ten minutes. Sally says I should ride my bike, but I think it’s too
dangerous on the roads at that time in the morning. The school has different sports
activities that you can sign up for after classes, so I play football on Mondays and
Wednesdays, and basketball on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I take the bus home on
those days because I’m so tired!
My biggest news is that I’ve stopped eating meat! I read about how unhealthy it is.
The only problem is that I’m cooking for myself now! Mum says the whole family
can’t become vegetarian just because I have. That’s OK, though. I’ve watched a lot
of videos online about vegetarian cooking and I’ve cooked some great meals.
Anyway, let me know how your fitness plan is going.
Take care,
Justin
