Computer games

Time is our most cherished possession. If we didn't have time to live, there would be no point in having lots of money, friends and so on. Some may think that playing computer games is a waste of time; others disagree. I think it is a waste of time, for two important reasons.

First, it is not like the real life. Many believe that playing computer games familiarize children with the real life. In contrast, I think it makes children misunderstand the real life. In computer games, you may die, but it's nothing because you can always be given other chances to live; however, in the real life you cannot. If you die, then you could never restore yourself. Of course, it would be great if we could become alive and recover ourselves after we die, but we cannot. So, when children play these games, they gradually believe that they will always have another opportunity to live, therefore they will be willing to make crazy, indeed fatal risks in the real life. For instance, I have a cousin, called Hossein, he is always playing computer games and he is really interested in computer car games. His favorite game is " Need for Speed". That's a computer game in which you have to compete with other drivers to win the game. In the game you can drive very fast at nearly two hundred mph. Of course, he always tries to drive as fast as he can to be the winner of the game. I remember that one time he and I were driving to another city in order to take him to the university. We had to drive for ten hours to get to the city . In the middle of the night, I became tired and he said that he would drive. When I woke up we were in his university city. I just couldn't believe because we were supposed to get to the city next noon. He drove the car too fast. and You know we were lucky that we did not die. I asked him why he drove so fast. He said that he played computer games all day and every day and he was adversely affected by the game, so that he couldn't control himself and drove more recklessly. As you can see, playing computer games not only is a waste of time. but is also can be dangerous.

Duolingo is great and free. I also like Fluencia. It has more explanation of grammar and sentence structure than Duolingo. Fluencia costs a few dollars a month. There are many supplemental sites. If you look up Destinos, it's a telenovela for learning Spanish. You can turn on the subtitles or not and it starts very basic. I love SpanishDict. Great translator, dictionary and has many helpful articles as well. Good luck!

Our participation at these meetings not only aims at gathering important information connected to the world of bicycle riding (bicycling) but also brings a real contribution to the development of this sector, showing people who govern and make decisions, studies and evidence regarding companies who want to cooperate with us and boost the visibility of the world of bicycling. I took the liberty of changing a few words to smooth out the writing. I hope this is what you were trying to say. Good luck!

If I don't take things personally, I do not believe my words or actions had anything to do with someone else's bad behavior towards me or why they said something unkind to me or about me.

It probably means both being worried about safety and caring for someone.

Patronizing and condescending are somewhat similar. Patronizing is when someone appears to speak kindly or give you credit for an accomplishment but they say it in such a way that it is clear they are really insulting you. Condescending is to express a low opinion of someone else's knowledge or opinion. An example would be to talk to an adult the way you would speak to a child.
