Dear Worried Friend，

You wrote that you are very worried about your friend, Chen Lei. I understand quite well that you are anxious and feel terrible. You think that your friend plays computer games too often and spends too much time online.

I recommend that you talk to your friend about his behaviour①. It is not unusual for teenagers of your generation② to be attracted to③ computer games and the online world. But spending too much time online is unhealthy and makes it very difficult to focus on④ other things in life. Some students even become addicted to⑤ the Internet and cannot concentrate on⑥ school and family life. I think you should encourage your friend to try new hobbies. Why not discuss the problem together? I am sure he will listen to you, since you are his good friend．

◆画线部分属于"It＋be＋adj./n.(＋for sb./sth.)＋to do sth."结构。it为形式主语， to be attracted...the online world为真正的主语， teenagers为不定式的逻辑主语，由介词for引出。

◆画线部分为v.ing短语作主语，谓语动词应用单数形式。

◆画线部分属于"make＋it＋adj.＋to do sth."结构。it为形式宾语， to focus on other things in life是真正的宾语。

◆此处为since引导的原因状语从句，since常用来表示人们已知的事实、不需要强调的原因。

All the best，

亲爱的焦虑的朋友，

你在信中说你很担心你的朋友陈雷。我非常能理解你担忧的心情，你感觉很糟糕。你认为你朋友玩电脑游戏太频繁，在网上花费了太多时间。

我建议你和你的朋友谈谈他的行为。对于你们这一代的青少年来说，被电脑游戏和网络世界吸引并不是一件罕见的事。但在网上花太多时间是有害健康的，也让人很难关注生活中的其他事情。有些学生甚至沉迷于网络，无法将注意力集中在学校和家庭生活上。我认为你应该鼓励你的朋友尝试新的爱好。何不一起来讨论这个问题呢？我确定他会听你的，因为你是他的好朋友。

祝好，

苏珊·罗
