Computer games are anti-social and violent , and their users are mindless nerds.

Greeting Beginning Main body Ending Parting Hey mom, How are you? I have received your letter and was very surprised with the thing you tried to play a computer game. You”ve always told me that computer games are antisocial and violent and their users are mindless nerds. Actually, I do not share that view. The trend in our modern society is that every child worldwide knows what computer is and, of course, they play it. Probably it even have become easier for parents to control their kids. They just have to show some games and children are glued to the monitor for hours. I don't argue, some games are really bloody and cruel: that’s why parents must watch out what their child plays.  By the way, mummy, you played GTA 5, I guess. It is rather a violent game but here, in Poland, we were demonstrated this game as an example of graphic achievements.  As far as my tastes are concerned, I like games greatly, especially sports ones that is why I ‘ve chosen this profession: the designer of computer games. I am looking forward to hearing from you, Your son
