1. Are you a fan of gaming consoles?
No, I’m not. When I was a teenager I enjoyed playing some games like Tetris and Pang in Arcade machines.
Currently, we have the Nintendo Switch and the Wii but I haven’t played.

2. What do you think are the reasons why there is an increasing number of people buying them?
Because playing on line it’s a comfortable way to relatonship with other people.
Also, the children stay more time in their house and they can’t play outdoor because there are more dangers that some years ago.

3. What forms of entertainment did you enjoy as a child? How would you compare them with gaming consoles?
I loved playing with my neighbours in the playground of my house in summer, and I enjoyed playing with dolls and strategy games with my family.
I’m not an expert in gaming consoles but I think It’s worse to play with gaming consoles because the player is less imaginative and creative.

4. What is the name of the competitor mentioned in the article?
It’s Microsoft with the Xbox console

5. Why do you think children get hooked on this kind of gadget?
I think the parents are guilty. We allow them to play with this when they are very young, because it’s a way we can do things without them disturbing us.

It’s good that you are trying to stay consistent with your practice.

Take a look at to write this sentence with better word choices:

Because playing on line it’s a comfortable way to relatonship with other people.

It’s because playing online is a convenient way to interact with other people.

Until your next entries!
