because people speak English
Task
You have had a diccussion in your English class about computer games. Now you teacher has asked you to write an essay.
Playing computer games is a waste of time.
In my essay, I intend to examine whether playing computer games is a waste of time or not.
These days, everybody owns a computer. We live in a time of technology and therefore we cannot imagine living without computers.
We can use a computer for writing emails, communicating with friends and also playing games. Playing computer games has recently become type of favourite entertainment, particularly for young people.
I suppose that playing games is a waste of time. Firstly, it prevents people from meeting with friends and communicating with them, and consequently we are becoming an antisocial.
Secondly, learning languages, cooking or doing sports is much more useful for improving practical abilities than playing games.
On the other hand, I have to agree that playing games is enjoyable and it is a kind of relaxation.
In conclusion, even though playing games is surely considered to be an enjoyable activity, I would not recommend to pursue that activity. The reasons have been already mentioned.
What do you think? Please give me your opinion, find mistakes....Thanks!
