Креативное письмо
And now it’s your time to write a model-text about computer addiction. But before that I want to remind you of the criteria according to which you must write your texts:
1. It must be short: from 5 to 9 lines.
2. You must use the structure “to prevent somebody from something”.
3. It must have a logical conclusion.
Divide into pairs and start creating! If you don’t suffer from internet addiction, write about someone who suffers from it.
