  1. You have some argumentative points but they are not fully supported strongly. The points are also moderately delivered, especially in paragraphs two and three.Try writing longer paragraphs so that more examples and reasons can be included to make your argumentative essay more persuasive.Quite a lot of grammatical errors. Do proofread again and republish.

  2. In this generation, the world is full of the technology. Many products are produced by using technology in our daily life. For instance, video games. Nowadays, video games are taking the place of traditional games for children to play anytime and anywhere. Some of the people agree that playing video games is good for us but some of the people are disagree with this view. For me, I totally agree playing video games will bring many pros to us.

    Firstly, the pro of playing video games is it can help us to relieve our stress. Recent studies by researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital’s (MGH) Center for Mental Health and Media have shown that playing online games helps to relieve stress and tension from work. In this 21st century, most of us are facing stress in different aspect such as parents, works, friends and etc. These stress might cause us become melancholy and unhappily. Through playing video games, we can relieve our stress because all we need to do is shift our focus away from our work and change the direction of thinking towards fun thoughts and playing such as puzzles. When we are playing video games, some idea or intention will appear in our mind. With this, we will find that all the things that make us worry can easily be solved after the stress has relieved.

    In addition, we can build communication skills and teamwork in our daily life. In video games, we need to communicate with other people so that we can access the games successfully. This is because most of the video games need cooperation of each other to complete the games. If one of the people who is in the same team with you is refuse to follow the instruction of leader, the games might not complete successfully but failed. So, you need to have good communication skills and the teamwork spirit when you are playing video games. This is very important to us not only in games but in our true life too. For example, icebreaker game.

    Last but not least, another pro of playing video games is it can help you to learn the words and things that you cannot learn it from the school. Most of the people like to play video games is because it is fun, full of challenge and the plentiful reward after winning the games. When we are playing video games, we will find that there are some strange vocabulary and things in the games. As an example, The Sims. We need to understand and find out the meaning of it so that we can continue to play the game. The best way to learn is when the learner is having fun at the same time. That’s why video games can improve our knowledge.

    In conclusion, every coin has two sides. Playing video games is good for us unless we are addict to it. We must know how to manage our time well so that playing video games will not bring cons for us in our life.
