 You are going to read about a student

named Quang. Can you guess what Quang’s
story is about? 
 THE ‘NET GENERATION’
Quang is watering his garden and can’t wait
to pick the ripe fruit. He spends most of his
spare time looking after the garden. Sounds
great, doesn’t it? But his garden is a virtual
one! In today’s world, teenagers rely on
technology more than in the past. This can
be a problem because using computers too
much may have harmful effects on both their
minds and bodies. They prefer watching TV
and playing computer games to reading
books, perhaps because they don’t have to
think and imagine as much.
They don’t join clubs or have hobbies and
they don’t play sports. They sit in front of
the computer all the time. They don’t get out
of the house, even for a walk. They are in a
world that doesn’t exist. While Quang now
knows the names of many plants, and his
English seems to be improving as he chats
with his ‘gaming friends’ from all over the
world, his parents are getting worried. They
want him to get out more. They are even
thinking of banning him from using the
computer.
