Hi, I’m Andrea. I’m from Portugal. I like playing video
games. I think it is a good way to spend our free time.
But, it is bad for the eyes because we spend a lot of
time in front of the screen! And sometimes, when we
want to stop, we can’t and we don’t study.

My name is Laurent. I’m French. My brother and I enjoy
playing video games because they are interesting and
funny. We can’t fight, it’s great. We can drive fast cars;
play with Charlie Chaplin, the Simpsons, and Asterix (…).
We prefer video games to homework, of course! But with
our computers, we can learn English, can’t we?
I’m Ed and I live in New York. I think that video games
are fun. They calm us down after a long day at school. I
have a group of friends in my class and we meet every
weekend at one of our houses play on the computer. But,
video games are very expensive. Not all people can buy
them.
