A letter’s structure

Question
Give an objective view
You’re very worried about your friend, who plays computer games too often and spend too much time online.
It’s 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.
What’s your addiction? How does addiction do harm to you?
