WRITING TASK

7 Do you think it is a true story? Could it happen to you one day? Here are some opinions about computer games in general.

Encourage sedentary lifestyle
Too much time is wasted]
Negative impact on health
Psychological imbalance
The games are addictive
Reduce social skills
Promote violence and aggression
Detach one from reality

Ans. No, I do not believe it to be a true story, because in real life your memory can never be transferred to a computer after banging your head with it. All this is simple imagination, where a person wants to see and do what he wishes to do, overlooking the reality.

8 Do you think these opinions are biased? Write an article entitled “Virtual games are a reality’.

Ans.

Virtual Game are a Reality

by Abinash Baivab

The virtual world or cyberspace is an environment using computer technology to create a simulated, three-dimensional world that a user can explore while feeling as if he were in that world. In a virtual reality environment, the user experiences the feeling of being inside and a part of that world. He/She is also able to interact with the environment in meaningful ways. However, some psychologists are concerned that virtual reality games could psychologically affect a player.

They suggest that these games place a player in violent situations, particularly as the perpetuator of violence, and could result in the user becoming desensitised. Some psychologists also believe that these games can lead to cyber addiction. Another rising concern is about criminal acts. Studies indicate that people can have real physical and emotional reactions to stimuli within a virtual game. Thus, it is quite possible that a victim of a virtual attack could feel real ernotional trauma. Can the attacker be punished for causing real-life distress? We don’t have answers to these questions yet.
