you have any suggestions?

Dear Worried Friend,
You wrote that you are very worried about your friend, Chen Lei. I understand quite well that you are anxious and feel terrible. You think that your friend plays computer games too often and spends too much time online.
Date
Greeting
Body
I recommend that you talk to your friend about his behaviour. 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.
Body
A. I know what the problem is.
B. I understand how you feel.
C. This is my advice and reason(s).
D. I think my advice will help.

Xu Ting • Join a volunteer group.
• Connect with your parents online. • This will give you a chance to be around other people, and help you realise that other people have problems, too.
• Just because they are far away, it doesn’t mean that you can’t talk to them.
Min Ho
