Having Fun “Growing” and “Stealing”
Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students. People can “farm” on a piece of “l(fā)and” and “grow”, “sell” or even “steal” “vegetables”, “flowers” and “fruits” on the internet.
They can earn some e-money and buy more “seeds”, “pets” and even “houses”.
Joyce interviewed some young people. Here are their opinions.
Harold：I don't quite understand why they are so mad about the childish game, maybe they are just not confident enough to face the real world.
Allan：I enjoy putting some “bugs” (臭蟲) in my friends’ gardens and we’ve become closer because of the game. Having fun together is the most exciting thing about it．
Laura：You know, people in the city wish for the life in the countryside. It relaxes my work pressure; besides, it gives me the exciting experience of being a “thief”.
Ivy： Well. It’s just a waste of time. Teenagers playing the game spend so many hours on it that they can not concentrate on their study.
