Some psychologists believe that role-playing games are particularly valuable In the virtual environment, young people can take on roles that are often not available to them in real life You can become a leader, and have to deal with people who lie to you, hide things from you or want to destroy you By dealing with these situations, you can develop social skills that might help you in the real world when you’re older Gaming does have its downsides, of course Playing for a while is great, but people who play for hours on end can have problems Physically, it can stop you from getting enough exercise, which is unhealthy Psychologically, there is evidence that some players can become addicted to their games and begin to prefer their ‘virtual’ lives, where they are always in control It is sometimes claimed that very violent games can have a negative effect on players and lead to violence in real life Although there isn’t much evidence to support this, it is an argument that will go on and on But overall, the message is that playing video games is not harmful, unless you spend too much time on them And while you’re building your city, looking after your farm, defeating your enemies or making your fortune in a game, you’re also developing skills that will stay with you for the rest of your life (Adapted from “Prepare 6”by James Styring and Nicholas Tims) Question 36 What does the passage mainly discuss?
