B1: game

It is true that playing computer games have disadvantages to an individual.

While this is the case, others believe that it may also be as fun, entertaining,
connecting and learning medium. Therefore, in my own personal opinion, these
advantages do outweigh the negative issues.

In our world today - the electronic technology development world, video games
have offered much more benefits to human beings. First of all, Video games
satisfy people’s entertainment demands after hard studying or working. In fact,
people feel more relaxed and refreshed their minds as playing some interesting
video games instead of seating on armchairs and watch TV without animation.
Further, because of some activities of playing such online video games, some
people can get to know more friends. While playing games, they can make
conversations throughout chatting, calling and so on in order to share feelings or
experiences in life. This is how they develop new relationships as well as
connect with acquaintances. In addition, video games also help young people
improve their technology skills, develop creative thinking, ...

On the other hand, not surprisingly, there are different disadvantages of playing
video games. When time cannot be controlled, video games cause many
drawbacks, particularly students, who want to play as much as possible to
satisfy their wishes. Because of this, they usually cut the classes and even may
become drop-out students inevitably because of the attraction of video games.
In addition, when playing games a lot just in one place, people to excess cope
with many severe problems relating to health such as near-sighted eyes illnesses
or some skeleton-related diseases. Last but not least, due to being addicted to
video games, some students have violated the law because of theft, .. to earn
money to play video games.

But it is not possible to just blame the video game, which is due to many other
reasons, especially the gamers themselves. If you control your time, work, and
study, you will see many advantages of video games.

In conclusion, video game playing has a positive and negative outcome to

individuals, but with proper limits and usage, it can be certainly of useful help
to everyone.

B2: game

Access to computers has increased significantly over recent decades, and the
number of children playing games on computers has increased too. This essay
will consider the positive and negative impacts of this and discuss ways to avoid
the potential negative effects.

As we know, in our world today - the electronic technology development world,

video games have offered much more benefits to human beings. First of all,
Video games satisfy people’s entertainment demands after hard studying or
working. Further, because of some activities of playing such online video
games, some people can get to know more friends. In addition, video games
also help young people improve their technology skills, develop creative
thinking, ...

money to play video games.

In order to minimize these negative impacts, parents need to take certain steps.
Firstly, some video games are rated according to their content, so parents must
check this and ensure their children are not allowed to have access to games that
are unsuitable. Parents can also set limits on the length of time games are
played. Finally, parents should also take an active interest in the games their
children are playing so they can find out how they feel about what they are
observing.

To sum up, there are benefits of computer games, but there are disadvantages
too. However, if parents take adequate precautions, the severity of these
negative impacts can be avoided.

B3: risk

Without any shadow of doubt, becoming successful in life is an important goal

for everyone. Since people are totally different with each other, they choose
various ways to achieve their goals. Some risktakers might take risky
opportunities, others may avoid risks and choose a routine life. Personally, I
prefer the idea that success results from a reasonable planning. There are
numerous reasons, three of which are discussed hereunder.

To begin with, it is crystal clear that one can achieve his or her goal faster, if he
or she has a obvious goal. I believe, we do not live long enough to waste our
time on trial and error. Achieving a goal as soon as possible is one of my
priorities anytime I set a goal for myself. In contrast, if a person take risks too
much, there are a great possibility that he or she would not be able to achieve
his or her goals. Consequntly, when that person look to the past, he or she will
probably be regretful for the time he had wasted.
Secondly, when we plan everything clearly, we could allocate our time and
energy more efficiently. I, personally, subscribe to the idea that taking risks
might get a lot of energy from a person and would not have proper result at the
end. For example, whe I was a high school student, I used to plan for my
studying times. By doing this, I was able to manage my time better. In contrast,
any time that I studied without any clear plan, my grades was awful.

Last, but not least, a person who have plans for his or her future usually can
predict the future accurately and avoid quite a few possible dangers in the way
of getting that goal. Moreover, considering the future helps us to maintain
motivated to achieve our goals. In contrast, a person who take risks may
become disappointed in the middle of his or her way due to the fact that there is
not any clear future achievement for his or her attempts.

In sum, with all this taken into account, I subscribe to the idea that the life is not
a lottery which we gamble on that. By planning reasonable goals, a person can
gets his or her destiny faster, spend far less energy, and predict his or her future
more precisely.
