III. READING
Read the passage and then decide whether the sentences are True (T) or False (F).
Many people think that computer games are only harmful to humans. Studies discovered that
playing games overtime could cause health risks such as obesity, eye damage. Most game players don’t
exercise; instead, they eat junk food, which is not good for our health.
However, playing computer games makes the players think critically, in order to win matches or
proceed to the next stages of the game. Some of the games are very difficult and no one can win easily,
unless he thinks for a while. I believe it is good for the players, because they learn how to think, plan
ahead strategically and solve their problems.
Moreover, we can relax our mind by playing computer games. After a day of working hard, playing
such games can be a good way to have relaxation. In addition, computer games help people make friends
and have become a tool to build strong relationship between friends.
In conclusion, playing computer games results in both positive and negative effects on our lives.
