Dear Worried Friend,
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. I think you
should encourage your friend to try
new hobbies. Why not discuss the problem together? I am sure he will
listen to you, since you are his good friends.
I recommend that you talk to your
friend about his behavior. It is not unusual for teenagers of your
generation to be attracted to computer games and the online world.
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.
All the best,
Susan Luo
