One possible vision Dear editor, Last week our class had a discussion about playing “Growing” and “Stealing”games. Some students think that they can grow vegetables, plant trees and flowers on the farm .They enjoy the life in the countryside. At the same time they can earn some e-money and buy more “seeds”, “pets” and even “houses”. They can have the exciting experience of success. Sometimes, some students put some “bugs” in the friends’ gardens. They think they become closer because of the game. They have fun together and reduce their stress. Some students don’t understand this game .They think they are mad about the game, and they are not confident enough to face the real world. It is a waste of time for the students. They don’t have enough time to study. Being a “thief” also makes them feel sad. I think playing the game can make us feel relaxed, but we must spend most of our time studying. Study must come first. Yours, Li Ming
