I'm a ...digital① native②！
I'm Joe, a student from London. You'll often find me sitting in front of my laptop③.
The online world is a big part of my life.I'm a “digital native” —I've been using the computer since I was a kid.[1]
I do a wide range④ of things online.Besides doing all my schoolwork, I chat with my friends, watch films and read the daily news and other interesting articles; I also shop for various⑤ things online, such as⑥ books, computer hardware⑦ and other necessities⑧.It's so convenient⑨ to be able to compare⑩ the quality? and prices from different online shops before I buy. [2]I also play computer games from time to time? and I even play tennis on my television screen in my living room?！
My parents are worried that I may become an “Internet addict?”．They think I'm playing computer games all the time? and I chat too much with online friends.According to? them, there is a danger? that I may not be able to tell whether these friends are real friends. [3] My mum keeps telling? me to go out with my school friends instead.Maybe she's right.It's important to meet friends in person? from time to time, not just on social media?. Actually， I do know I need to drag myself away from the online world sometimes, especially because real life can be just as interesting. [4]
