Presentation
Ok, so I'd like to describe the time that I played an arcade video game with my husband. We were game lovers when we were kids. We used to spend most of our leisure time together to play video games. But his was very busy now with his work, so a lot of the time I was alone at home. So I decided to give him a surprise at his birthday this year.
I bought him a vintage game console just like the one we had when we were kids, with two controllers and a lot of arcade games like Asteroid, Gold Miner and Super Mario. He was very excited to receive this gift. Then we decided to stay at home and play all day long. We hadn't played these old video games for decades. We were very bad at it. Sometimes we couldn't win the first level. But we were very happy. We laughed at each other's way of death in the game and felt back to childhood.
I was glad I bought it. We didn't do anything healthy like going for a walk or hiking in the mountain, or anything fancy like dining in a really nice place. And apart from that, we didn't spend a lot on the gift. the console cost about 300 yuan, along with 500 games pre-installed.
But we had a time that both of us would remember in the years to come.(注意years一定是复述,表示余生,否则就是明年了。)
Part 3
· Is teamwork important to individuals?
Yes, the ability to collaborate with others is vital to a person nowadays. Most of the work cannot be done by an individual. For example, in academic study, most researches are done by teams of scientists. Teamwork can bring resources and skills together to accomplish something bigger. Of course, there are indie musicians and programmers, but as I understand, one must have a much wider range of skills to be able to work on a project alone. When team members can help and support a person to come out of the hardship and release the stress.
· What qualities should team leaders have?
Well, I have never been a team leader myself, so I wouldn't know better. But as far as I concern, a leader of a team should be trustworthy, or sound. I think that's the most crucial quality. Base on that, a sound leader can be...erh... responsible, firm, likeable, flexible or simply charming. (前四个升调)I believe these are usually the qualities a leader should have.
· What indoor games do children like to play nowadays?
Video games mostly. children nowadays, especially those who live in big cities, don't know much about their neighbours or people in the same community. So they hardly have any close friends that they can meet every day and play together after school. Parents are busy with work so that children are usually left alone with a smartphone or a tablet. Video games become the easiest way to kill time and the only way to play with their friends in school.
· What do you think of people spending too much time playing computer games?
Well, as I have listed out before, the main reason is that people nowadays need online games to stay in touch with their friends. This is not only true with kids, but also with adults. video games provide a common topic. and they are usually competitive, so teamwork is important, which can bring people closer. It is a cheap entertainment for most young people. So even if too much time playing games would be bad for health, like our eyes and backs, I think it is still an essential leisure time activity for most young people.
