You have received an email message from your English-speaking pen-friend Maria: From: maria@mail.uk To: friend@ege.ru Subject: game time! My mum said she’s going to throw our game console away because my brother is always playing games. Are video games popular among teenagers in Russia, and why? Are there any negative effects of video games? What video games do you enjoy playing, and how often do you play them? Anyway, my brother has just got a new video game and ... Write an email to Maria. In your message: • answer his questions; • ask 3 questions about the game. Write 100-140 words. Remember the rules of email writing. Dear Maria, Thank you so much for your email! I hope you're doing great. In your email you asked me about video games. As far as I know, video games are quite popular among teenagers in Russia as they offer interesting in-game activities and are fun to play. Unfortunately, spending too much time playing video games may lead to various negative effects such as obesity or vision problems. Personally, I prefer such video game genres as adventures and action games but I usually spend not more than two hours a day playing them. I'm happy to hear that your brother's got a new video game! What's the name of this game? What's it about? Is it difficult to play this game? That's all for now. Hope to hear from you soon! All the best, Vlad
