其实我自己现在也醒悟了，游戏固然吸引人，可是上瘾到影响工作生活就不值得了。你看好多学生就是一头栽进去，无法自拔。有些网瘾重的整天泡在网吧里，连上学也没心思了。所以前段时间，有个教育专家红遍全国，到处办讲座，帮孩子戒网瘾。我看到电视上那些绝望的家长，真是很有感触。

They can't control themselves. Some who are really addicted to online gaming hang around in Internet cafes all day long. They don't even care about going to school. So, recently, there was an education expert who was really popular all over the entire country. He lectured everywhere, helping kids kick their Internet addiction. I saw some desperate parents on TV. It was really moving.
