Computers have become a major part of our everyday life. People simply can’t live without them. They work and study with the help of computers, find information, and, of course, play different games. Speaking about computer games, I should say that they are gaining more and more popularity both among kids and adults.
There are two points of view on this question. Some people claim that such games are harmful and pointless. They destroy our life balance. First of all, computer games are unhealthy for the eye sight. If we look at the monitor for a long time, it gets worse. Secondly, sitting glued to the same place can make us fatter. Another argument against computer games is that they contain lots of violent scenes. Thus, playing them can make our behavior more aggressive. And, finally, computer games steal our time. We start rarely seeing our friends and relatives.
To keep the balance it is better to have some active hobbies too, such as going in for sports or playing in a music band. There are some people who support computer games. They say that this activity has many benefits. For example, it can develop a good memory because while we play, we try to remember different details. Other than that, it develops logical thinking and even language skills. Spending lots of time online can lead to virtual friendship with other players. And, of course, for many people it is one of the best ways of entertainment.
At the end, I’d like to say that so many men so many minds. As for me, I sometimes enjoy playing my favourite games, but I try to spend less time in front of the computer.
I wish I were in London now. If I were there I would organize an excursion and would give you a good idea about this wonderful city.The best starting point for all the excursions is well known Trafalgar square with Nelson’s Column in the center. The square was named to commemorate the victory of British vice-admiral Nelson at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805 and the Column is surmounted with his statue. I have managed to see this monument and it has made a great impression on me.Then I recommend you to see the Houses of Parliament on the north bank of the river Thames. It also has another name – the Palace of Westminster - as in the past here lived kings and queens.
ПЕРЕВОД : Хотел бы я быть в Лондоне сейчас. Если бы я был там, я бы организовал экскурсию и дал бы вам хорошее представление об этом замечательном городе.Лучший отправной пункт для экскурсий – хорошо известная Трафальгарская площадь с Колонной Нельсона в центре. Площадь получила свое название в честь победы британского вице-адмирала Нельсона в Трафальгарском сражении 1805 года, а Колонна увенчана статуей Нельсона. Мне удалось увидеть этот памятник, и он произвел на меня большое впечатление.Затем я рекомендую вам увидеть здание парламента на северном берегу реки Темза. Оно имеет также другое имя – Вестминстерский дворец – так как в здесь жили короли и королевы.
