Original –

I have played a video game for 3 years. The game name is clash of clans. It is a popular game in the world and a lot of people play the game. People like to play it because every player can build their kingdom. At first, they just create a countryside. As developing, the countryside will became a strong village because they need to build some walls and defines in order to protect their resource. And the second reason is that people can establish many different alliances. During managing these alliances, the friendship is made by people in the group. They will send reinforcements to support their ally when the ally was attacked. However, I decide to give up to play it because I find that I spend too much time on it. And I don’t have enough time to deal with my work papers because if there are any change in the game, the app will send you a message to remind you.

Correction –

I have been playing a video game called clash of clans for 3 years. It is a popular game with a lot of users in the world. People like to play it because every player can build their village. At first, users just create buildings in the countryside. As the game develops, the countryside will become a strong village so they need to build some walls and defenses in order to protect their resources. People can also establish many different alliances by joining a clan. During managing these alliances, friendships can be made by people in the group. They will send reinforcements to support their allies if the ally is attacked. However, I decided to give it up because I found that I spent too much time on it. And I don’t have enough time to deal with my work papers because if there are any changes in the game, the app will send you a notification to remind you. It’s a distraction and very time consuming.
