1 Jenny Foxton is a secondary school student, but she's also got another life. She spends all night on the net. Every night she turns on her laptop and visits a virtual world called Habbo, where users have created avatars, rooms and communities. Jenny's avatar has bought clothes and also furniture for her room, using virtual money. When she isn't buying virtual possessions, her avatar moves from place to place, chatting to some of the millions of people who have joined Habbo in the UK.

2. Tom Dobson's life on the internet is different, but also very time-consuming and obsessive. At two or three o'clock in the morning, Tom is often fighting battles with ogres on his computer. Tom hasn't slept. His mother made him a sandwich seven hours ago, but he hasn't eaten it. He's one of eleven million people who play World of Warcraft online. His battle continues ...

3. It can be cool to blog, chat, or play games online, but when you've been on the internet for forty-eight hours non-stop, or more than a hundred hours a week, your idea of reality changes. This can happen to real addicts, who often feel tired, depressed and isolated. Most people use the internet sensibly, but between five and ten per cent of internet users are addicted to the web and psychologists now recognize this as a problem.

4. Internet addiction has ruined people's education, relationships and careers. It's now one of the main reasons why university students fail. If you've ever spent more time online than offline, maybe it's time to come back to real life and find some help. There are clinics, advice and cures if you've got a problem. And a lot of them are online, of course.

2. Как они себя ведут?

3. Как вы пользуетесь интернетом?

4. Как вы думаете, вы проводите слишком много времени в интернете? Почему / Почему нет?

5. Каковы положительные и отрицательные стороны интернета?

Ответ:

1. Yes, I have a classmate who plays video games all the time. (Да, у меня есть одноклассник, который все время играет в видеоигры.)

2. He is often sleepy in class and always talks about his game achievements. Sometimes he doesn't do his homework because he was playing late. (Он часто сонный на уроках и всегда говорит о своих игровых достижениях. Иногда он не делает домашнее задание, потому что играл допоздна.)

3. I use the internet to do my homework, chat with friends, watch videos on YouTube, and sometimes play games. (Я использую интернет для выполнения домашних заданий, общения с друзьями, просмотра видео на YouTube и иногда для игр.)

4. I think sometimes I do, especially on weekends. It's easy to lose track of time when you're watching interesting videos or playing a game. But during the week, I try to use it mostly for school. (Думаю, иногда да, особенно на выходных. Легко потерять счет времени, когда смотришь интересные видео или играешь в игру. Но в течение недели я стараюсь использовать его в основном для учебы.)

5. The internet has positive and negative sides.

Positive: you can find any information for school, talk to friends who live far away, learn new things, and have fun. (Положительные: можно найти любую информацию для учебы, общаться с друзьями, которые живут далеко, узнавать что-то новое и развлекаться.)

Negative: you can get addicted, see fake news or mean comments, and waste a lot of time that you could spend outside or with family. (Отрицательные: можно стать зависимым, наткнуться на фейковые новости или злые комментарии и потратить много времени, которое можно было бы провести на улице или с семьей.)
