The Opinions about Video games (Yam & Jennifer)
Yam thinks video game is good because people can relax and have fun with it. Everyone can play video games. Especially teenager, they are the most group who play the video gamea. There are many video games in the many store and people choose the game that they like, so it’s hard to specify what kind of games. The video game has its own positive and negative that depends on player. If a gamer plays it just for fun and not too much, so it’s good for playing. In another way, if a player spends time in video games too much, player may get addicted, so this is not good.Jennifer thinks in general teenagers love to play video games and spend much time playing video games (computer games) in home.Personally, I don’t like to play video games and don’t know a specific person who plays in the video game.I just heard the “Starcraft” game and young guys tend to be very enthusiastic for playing games. Even though they have to concentrate on their job, they neglect their duty eventually playing video games excessively leads to be addict.After reading article in class, I conclude that playing video games has a bad effect for young people even adolescent. Sometimes we have a very shocking news on suicide when a person could pass away while they are playing games all day straight.It is very necessary that overuse to play video games might be harmful and hazardous to young people’s behaviors.

Personnaly we do like video games. It's really interesting to play to have fun or when you're bored and you don't have anything to do.So we think that video games don't need to be stopped but people(children,teenagers and adults) shouldn't overabuse playing video games. Cause we know that the results are psychological problems and addiction to video games.Also, the video games companies should avoid including violence in their video games because it can affect kids behaviours.

Video game has both bright and dark side
There are different opinions about playing video games. However, we admit both bright and dark side of video games. Let us introduce these values.
Firstly, when it comes to bright side, most people like and play video games. Even many people admire pro-gamers like sports stars. Pro-gamers can make a big money and become famous like sports star. In a certain survey, most of teenagers wish to be pro-gamers. And It’s also helpful to relax, control one’s emotion and be away from stress even for adults.
Secondly, it has dark side too. We can easily find addicted children everywhere. Sometimes they kill somebody in real world to get or steal other's online items or money. They even confused real world with imaginary space. And some adults don’t do well on his job because of being tired from overuse of video game. These days, a new term created. That is 'Reset syndrome', which cause people who addicted to video game to think that they can restart their life easily like video games—just by clicking-- anytime they want.
In sum, we admit both bright side and dark side of video games. Through video games, some people can earn their success, relax and enjoy their life. However, on the other hands, video games also make a lot of serious problems such as mental disease, confusing real life. Whether looking at bright or dark side of video games is up to you.

The advatages and disadvatages of using the video games
There are lots advantages and disadvantages to the video games. Some times video games let you enjoy your time by spending your free time playing video games. As we hear from one TV channel that some video games have the ability to improve the brain’s skills. On the other hand, video games have many negative effects. They have displaced work, school, friends and even family. Also, they disrupt school or work life. In addition they cause a back, neck aches, headaches and dry eyes. Moreover, addictive people fail to eat regularly or neglect personal hygiene. In conclusion, even though video games have a serious bad effect, the percentage of the using of the video games increase day after day.
Opinion about Video Games
Tim and I agree about playing video games, but we have to make a balance with our schedule. And we come up with few points about advanteges and disadvanteges about video games.
first, the advanteges of video games are helping us to relax, spending free time, having fun, and helping us to keep our brain working.
Second, the disadvanteges of video games are wasting the time, hurting our eyes, delaying our works, and keeping us away from our families.
Finally, Tim has friend who plays video games all the time and didn't find a job after graduation from college. We think that is a good example for overuse the video games.

Welcome to the Summer Session!
I know that we have only been together for a couple of days, but it seems like we have a very nice group of serious students. This is probably the most fulfilling level for me because I really have a vested interest in seeing all of you take that next step to university life on your own. When you reach that goal it makes me feel really good as a teacher.
I hope that this blog can be of some assistance to us in both reading and writing. Your requirement each week will be to make at least one post and to respond to at least two of your classmate's posts. Sometimes we will do more than that and sometimes you will be assigned to work with a person. 10% of you summer grade will be this. A really easy way to earn some extra points during the summer session.
Once again, welcome everybody and happy blogging!
