Lina: Hello, Tapan. How are you?

Tapan: I am fine. What about you?

Lina: I am fine too. But why are you sitting with your mobile for so long?

Tapan: I am playing an online game.

Lina: You should not play online games for a long time. You should play outdoor games too.

Tapan: Why are outdoor games important?

Lina: Games and sports are very important for our health. They make our body strong, active, and fit.

Tapan: Are they really better than online games?

Lina: Games and sports also refresh our mind and reduce stress.

Tapan: Can they help us in study?

Lina: Yes. A fresh body and mind help us study better. Sports also teach discipline, teamwork, and patience.

Tapan: But online games are fun too.

Lina: They may be fun for a short time, but too much online gaming wastes time and harms our eyes.

Tapan: Now I understand. I should play outdoor games regularly.

Lina: Exactly. Play games and sports every day, but keep time for study too.

Tapan: Thank you for your useful advice.

Lina: You are welcome.

High-Scoring Version

Lina: Hello, Tapan. How are you?

Tapan: I am fine, thank you. What about you?

Lina: I am fine too. But I have noticed that you spend a lot of time on online games.

Tapan: Yes, I like online games very much. They are exciting.

Lina: They may be exciting, but too much online gaming is not good for health or study.

Tapan: Then what should I do in my free time?

Lina: You should play outdoor games and take part in sports. Games and sports are much better for students.

Tapan: Why do you say they are better than online games?

Lina: Online games make us sit in one place for a long time. They may harm our eyes, sleep, and attention. But outdoor games make us move, run, and work actively.

Tapan: That sounds reasonable.

Lina: Games and sports make our body strong, fit, and healthy. They also refresh our mind and remove tiredness.

Tapan: Can they help us become better students?

Lina: Of course. A healthy body helps a student keep a fresh mind. Sports improve attention, confidence, and regular habits.

Tapan: What else can we learn from sports?

Lina: We can learn discipline, teamwork, patience, leadership, and fair play. These qualities are useful in real life.

Tapan: Online games do not teach all these things.

Lina: Exactly. Online games are mostly screen-based, but real games build our body, mind, and character.

Tapan: Should we stop online games completely?

Lina: Not always. You may play for a short time, but you should never become addicted. Outdoor games should be a regular part of your life.

Tapan: You are right. I will reduce online gaming and play outdoor games from today.

Lina: That is a wise decision. Let us go to the field this afternoon.

Tapan: Sure. Thank you for opening my eyes.

Lina: You are welcome.
