But what about young people? 35% of British children (who are thirteen years old) play video games every day, and 7% play for 30 hours a week or more. It means that, at this moment, a lot of children are playing video games. The children who play 30 hours or more may start to get bad marks at school or forget about their friends. Some children even become angry if they can’t play.

What games are these children playing?

Helen: I am playing my favourite game – the new Lord of the Rings. I often play it because there is a lot of action in it and there are some bits of the film in it.  It is just as good as the film.

Ken: I am enjoying The Simpsons game now. I bought it three months ago and I have played it every day since then. I can do many tricks in the game. It’s great!

2.1. What video games are popular? Find 4 games.

     Many people in Britain love video games, but some people love them very much. British adults love video games and they play on their computers for more than four hours a day and they take their computers on holiday because they can’t live without them.

But what about young people?  35% of British children (who are thirteen years old) play video games every day, and 7% play for 30 hours a week or more. It means that, at this moment, a lot of children are playing video games. The children who play 30 hours or more may start to get bad marks at school or forget about their friends. Some children even become angry if they can’t play.

What games are these children playing?

Helen: I am playing my favourite game – the new Lord of the Rings. I often play it because there is a lot of action in it and there are some bits of the film in it.  It is just as good as the film.

Ken: I am enjoying The Simpsons game now. I bought it three months ago and I have played it every day since then. I can do many tricks in the game. It’s great!

Nancy and Michael have come to Robin’s room. Robin is in bed. He is sick and weak and Nancy and Michael feel sorry for him. They want to help. Robin gives them a big smile.

“I know why you are here,” Robin tells them. “You are going to find grandfather’s puzzle box.”

“Yes, we are. We think we can help you soon.” “I hope we’ll play football and do many other things together,” Michael says.

“Oh, good,” says Robin. “Please find that box.” “We will,” Michael and Nancy go back into the living room. Mr. Hall, Robin’s grandfather, is waiting for them.

“Uncle Ben,” Nancy says, “we don’t really understand. You wrote to me, but how can the puzzle box help Robin?”

“You can see that Robin is very sick. The operation will be very expensive. We don’t have much money. The puzzle box is very important for us. It is the only way to get money. It’s a secret box. Nobody can open it. The box has been in our family for a long time. My father told me how to open it.”

“But now will the box help? Is there money in it?” asks Michael.

“Ah” Mr. Hall says.  “That is a secret, too. Will you find the box for me?”

“We will. But there is the box?”

“I don’t know. Maybe one of our relatives has the box now.”

“But how are you going to find out where the box is?”

“I’ll call Carol. She lives in Boston. She may know something about the box. I’ll call her and tell her that you are coming.”

“When shall we leave?”

“Today. The operation will be in two months. We must hurry up or Robin won’t live.”

“We’ll find the box.”

We are touring around England. I’m enjoying the trip. It’s great. We are staying at a London hotel. Yesterday we saw a lot of interesting places in the capital. I think the museums are wonderful. We also went on some trips to other cities: Windsor, and Oxford for example. The trip to Windsor was an interesting experience. Best of all I liked the theme park, Legoland in Windsor. It was fantastic! Well, the weather is nice too. It hasn’t rained and it has been warm. I think we’ll come to London next year, too. But we won’t stay at the same hotel. It isn’t very good. On the whole, this is the best holiday I’ve ever had.
