Ever since a few years ago, when I was in primary school, I had been addicted to computer gaming. Every day after school, the first thing I would do when I reached home was to play games, neglecting my schoolwork. My parents were furious when my grades dropped, and decided to ban me from playing computer games. When I heard that, I felt like I had lost something important in my life, and since then, I wandered aimlessly, without a goal. Last time, when I was given permission to play computer games, I had a goal: To reach the maximum level possible. But now, that goal was dashed.
A few weeks after I was banned, I started to find something else to do, as it was boring without computer games. Thus, I decided to do something which I seldom done --- Reading. It was a few years ago, I could only remember vaguely the first book I had took up. It was called Harry Potter. Although the book was exaggeratingly thick, I treated it as a challenge. Once I read the first few pages, it was impossible to stop. I read for two continuous days and finished the whole book. I realised that reading books are purely for leisure, but playing computer games can harm your body, as when I was playing computer games, I would tend to get too excited. There was once when I had a fever, and on the second day, it had subsided to a mere 37 degrees. After I played computer games, the fever went up to a whopping 38.2 degrees.
