Learning to think for question 1
While reading a passage, we can connect our own life experiences to the ideas in it. Think about some similar situations, events or emotions. This helps us understand the theme better.
Mobile phones, TVs, computers and video games are time-eating monsters. You can find them in people’s pockets, in their living rooms, or on their desks.

We like them because they’re fun and easy to use. We don’t need to exercise or think hard to use them.
3. Do you think people spend more time on these “monsters” nowadays Why or why not
Yes, I think people spend more time on them nowadays. It’s because people need to use computers and mobile phones to work, study and communicate. It’s easy to start playing games or watching videos.

Write your paragraph with the help of the questions.
I like watching TV shows. It’s a fun activity, but sometimes I watch for too long. I get lost in the shows and they eat away my time. I forget to do my homework and I go to bed late. Then I feel tired. I miss out on time with my family and friends. I can solve this problem by setting times for watching shows. For example, I can only watch one hour of TV shows every day after finishing my homework. Perhaps I could join a club or do exercise instead. Having fun is an important part of life. However, it is just one part of life. We must have fun properly to have a balanced life.
