1. Why does the writer describe the problem as “the time-eating monster”
2. What other expressions can you think of to describe the problem
4 Answer the questions.
Because we can easily spend a lot of time before the screens. Calling the problem a “monster" shows that it is dangerous for us.
Other expressions include the time-thief(时间小偷), the time-waster(时间浪费者) and the time eater(时间吞噬者).

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.
Post-reading
2 Why do you think we like these “time-eating monsters” so much
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. That'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.

Answer the questions to help you plan your paragraph.
When you don’t have fun in a balanced way, how can it be harmful
What can you do to solve the problem
What fun activities do you like to do
I like... / I enjoy... / I am interested in... / I have interest in...
I get lost in... / I forget to... / It's hard for me to...
I can solve this problem by... / To use my time properly, I need to... / I should... to balance my study and life.
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.
