Hi Vivian,
Thanks for your message. I’m thrilled to hear that you’re all into video games now!
I’ll willingly answer your questions. My friends and I enjoy playing multiplayer adventure games together because it’s a great way to bond and have fun. As for the debate on video games, I think they’re a great way to unwind and connect with friends. Not a waste of time at all! When it comes to gaming culture, it’s fascinating! I enjoy interacting with online communities for specific games, and I find esports tournaments exciting to watch.
I’d like to know more about your friends. Are they the same age as you? Are they your schoolmates? What are their hobbies and interests?
TAFN. Write back soon.
Best wishes,
Natasha
