Why people like play games I am wondering why computer games are so popular among young people. Now its hard to find a child that does not like to play any computer games.

There is a new interesting trend regarding computer games - now it is popular not always to play, but to observe while other playing and commenting the actions on the screen. Some 10 ago there was hard to believe that such industry will be so popular. Nevertheless, the most watchable bloggers on Youtube has millions of views.

Why people like play games

I am wondering why computer games are so popular among young people (or "generation". Sounds more formal). Now, it's hard to find a child that does not like to play any computer games. But what makes computer games so popular?

I remember times of from the 90's, when the a computer game could be compared with the price of gold.

There is a new interesting trend regarding computer games - now it is popular not always not only is it popular to play, but also to observe while others playing and commenting the actions on the screen. Some Around 10 years ago, there it was hard to believe that such an industry will be so popular. Nevertheless, the most watchable bloggers on Youtube has millions of views. There must been some reason what that makes such activities so widespread and popular among kids and teens. Maybe because every generation becomes is becoming more and more lazy.


My comments:

Now hey! I'm not lazy, haha. I think it's not only popular among the young generation, but even amongst 20 and 30 year olds. Like you said, when the Nintendo and Sega Mega Drive came out, it was difficult to find. But that created the gamers we see today. To be honest, I have watched some gamers on a site called Twitch, but not too often. I mainly watch them to improve myself on a certain game. 

If you're interested, there is a TED talk that talks about the benefits of video games. It's called: Daphne Bavelier, Your brain on video games. There are subtitles if you need it. Also, here's a link:

I'm not sure if this is a subject you're really interested in, but I find it interesting. Best of luck!

Not a bad attempt. I can understand everything you are saying but with a few errors :)

Keep it up!

Why do people like to play games?

I wonder why computer games are so popular among young people. Nowadays, it's hard to find a child that does not like to play any computer games. But what makes computer games so popular?
The very first reason is, I believe, the possibility to escape reality, sometimes it is a chance to run away from reality. I remember the 90's, when the price of computer games could be compared with the price of gold. It was difficult even to find some play consoles, like the Sega Mega Drive or Nintendo (Nintendo what? Super NES? N64? A specific example here would match having a specific Sega console, though this isn't a major point.)

There is a new, interesting trend regarding computer games - now it is popular not always to play, but to observe while others are playing, and then commenting the actions on the screen. Some 10 years ago it was hard to believe that such an industry would be so popular. Nevertheless, the most watched gamers on Youtube have millions of views. There must be some reason that makes such activities so widespread and popular among kids and teens. Maybe because every generation becomes more and more lazy.


Not a bad entry, your basic idea was communicated. It seems the biggest things you may want to focus on practicing would be punctuation and verb tenses.


As to your topic, I find it very interesting, and agree with your first reason about escaping reality. Video games allow people to experience impossible things firsthand, in a way that books and movies cannot. 


I also agree that laziness may play some part in it, at least for some people. 


However, gaming as a medium allows creators to express their ideas in unique ways, to tell stories and show artwork.If you Google "video games as art", you're likely to find many interesting articles on the topic.


But most importantly, great work choosing an interesting and current topic to practice your English skills. Keep up the hard work!
