Computers have become a major part of our everyday life. People simply can’t live without them. They work and study with the help of computers, find information, and, of course, play different games. Speaking about computer games, I should say that they are gaining more and more popularity both among kids and adults.
There are two points of view on this question. Some people claim that such games are harmful and pointless. They destroy our life balance. First of all, computer games are unhealthy for the eye sight. If we look at the monitor for a long time, it gets worse. Secondly, sitting glued to the same place can make us fatter. Another argument against computer games is that they contain lots of violent scenes. Thus, playing them can make our behavior more aggressive. And, finally, computer games steal our time. We start rarely seeing our friends and relatives.
To keep the balance it is better to have some active hobbies too, such as going in for sports or playing in a music band. There are some people who support computer games. They say that this activity has many benefits. For example, it can develop a good memory because while we play, we try to remember different details. Other than that, it develops logical thinking and even language skills. Spending lots of time online can lead to virtual friendship with other players. And, of course, for many people it is one of the best ways of entertainment.
At the end, I’d like to say that so many men so many minds. As for me, I sometimes enjoy playing my favourite games, but I try to spend less time in front of the computer.
1)1.We wanted to go out yesterday but the weather was appalling. If it had been a sunny day, we would have gone for a picnic. 2. Mary was here not long ago. If you had come round earlier, you would have seen her. 3. Apparently, the government is planning to close the port in this town. If that happens, the town will lose a great deal of money. 4. I would help you with your maths` homework if I had more time but I’m afraid I haven’t got any spare time at all at the moment. 5. The government is expecting to win the next election, but if it loses, the Prime Minister will resign from politics. 6. I am so glad that you took me to your friend’s birthday party. If we hadn`t gone there, I would never have met Steven. 7. It’s ridiculous that trains are so expensive. If fares were cheaper, I’m sure more people would use the train and would leave their cars at home. 8. If she gets that job she’s applied for, she will be delighted. I assume she’s got a good chance of getting it. 9. Fortunately, the explosion took place at night when the streets were deserted. It would have been a disaster if it had happened in the middle of the day. 10. If I were you, I would have studied harder during the academic year. Now it is too late! 11. They’ve been married for twenty-five years now. However, I don’t think she would have married him if she had known what a mean man he was. 12. He will have to retake the exam next year if he doesn`t pass it tomorrow.
2) 1. If she had asked me the way, she would have found this house yesterday. 2. If he knew English well, he could be offered a good job. 4. Ann will come to Sarah if she calls her in the evening. 5. He can’t drive. If he could drive, they would go to the South by car.
