Recently, an Internet game has become popular among young office workers and students. On the Internet people can "farm" on a piece of "land" and "grow", "sell" or even" steal" "vegetables", "flowers" and "fruits". They can make some e﹣money and buy more "seeds", "pets" and even "houses". Of course, all those are not true!
I interviewed some young people. Here are their opinions.
A parent says she doesn't quite understand why they are so mad about the game. Maybe they are just not confident enough to face the real world.
Many junior high school children say they enjoy putting some "bugs" in their friends' "gardens" and they've become closer because of the game. Having fun together is the most exciting thing.
Most young office workers think their work is too much for them and wish to relax for a while. Besides,it gives them the exciting experience of being a "thief".
But almost all the teachers say it's just a waste of time. Teenagers playing the game spend so many hours on it that they cannot pay attention to their study.
