Mr. Griffin,
Recently I have had a discussion about The Ways for Students to Relax with Terry, a student from Class One, Grade Two. (As we study too long every day, every student should choose ways to relax.) In his opinion, the best ways are watching TV and playing computer games. He also believes that sometimes hanging out with friends isn’t a bad way.
However, I do not quite agree with him. In my opinion, watching TV or playing computer games is not a good way to help us relax. I think listening to music and playing sports are good ways because they can help us keep healthy. I often play Ping-pong after class and I find it really helpful to both my health and my study. Besides, I think chatting with our friends isn’t a bad way. I think it can help me get on better with my friends.

Should Middle School Students Play Games?
Recently we have had a heated discussion about whether middle school students should play games. Different people hold different views as follows.
Some classmates think that playing games can make them clever. But most students think if students spend too much time playing games, it is certainly harmful to their health and study.
In my opinion, video games are a kind of wonderful entertainment. And if you have enough self-control in playing them, you can get pleasure from them. However, if you are lost in them, you will lose everything, even your life.
