It is not unusual for teenagers of your generation to be attracted to computer games and the online world. But spending too much time online is unhealthy and makes it very difficult to focus on other things in life. Some students even become addicted to the Internet and cannot concentrate on school and family life.
对于你们这一代的青少年来说,被电脑游戏和网络世界所吸引是很正常的。但是花太多时间上网是不健康的,而且会让你很难把注意力集中在生活中的其他事情上。一些学生甚至沉迷于网络,无法专注于学校和家庭生活

Homework:
Write a letter of advice to one of the three teenagers.
List possible suggestions and reasons, then fill them in the table.
Name Suggestion Reason

Try listening to your parents.
Maybe they aren’t listening to you because you don’t listen to them.
Eric’ s parents won’t listen to him when he tells them something.
This will give you a chance to speak to them without distractions.
Name Suggestion Reason
Eric
Invite them out for
something to eat.
●Join a volunteer
group.
This will give you a chance to be
around other people, and help you
realize that other people have
problems, too.
Xu Ting feels lonely after school because her parents work in another city
Xu
Ting
Connect with your
parents online.
Just because they are far
away, it doesn’t mean that
you can’t talk to them.
Name Suggestion Reason
Min Ho is too shy tpo talk to the girl he likes.
Name Suggestion Reason
Min
Ho
Ask a mutual friend
to introduce you
to her.
Find chances to get together in groups where she is a group member.
Your friend will be able
to break the ice with her
and provide encouragement
to you.
If you are in a group, it
takes all the pressure off,
and you can interact with
her in a relaxing setting.
Dear Xu Ting,
You wrote that you are worried that you feel very terrible about feeling lonely. I understand that how you feel.
To be honest, I think maybe you should join after-school class, because there are a lot of children like you. During the periods you can discuss anything with them or play some games.
If you still feel lonely, personally you ought to arrange some study tasks for yourself. Why not make up for your courses I'm sure that you will feel more pleased instead of feeling lonely.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
