Writing exercise


I started / began to play / I got into computer games when I was at / during university and my favourite game then was / with my favourite game being PaoPaoTang, an online 2D top down view game which has a cute / adorable / babyish / childlike style of graphics / a cute graphical style. In the game, /…and is the type of game where you can form a team of at most 4 people / of 4 people max / up to 4 people, and you have 3 minutes to kill / finish off / eliminate / destroy the opposing team / opposition / enemy team as many times as possible (the aim of the game is to / the goal is to). You can control the game character to set / place / plant water bombs to trap opponents and kill them. The fun was to play / the enjoyment came from playing the game with my classmates and we used to / often would play after dinner and had our own private server.
The computer games I prefer now are usually 3D games such as the Witcher, Tomb Raider, Cities skylines, etc. Since the computer technology now is far better than 10 years ago, computer games nowadays look much more beautiful. Also, in these games, you get more freedom to do whatever you want. For example, you can kill monsters in the Witcher, or you can just wander in the forest and enjoy the view. Best of all, games these days can always make you surprised / can always surprise you, and the choices you make in the game may lead to a whole different ending. However, the biggest problem for me is I always lose patience to finish / give up on finishing games. So recently I play Cities skylines a lot which is a very relaxing game that I can hold a cup of tea while slowly building my own city and enjoy the pretty view of the city, and I can stop / pause at anytime.

I played a game where you need to kill your opponents

I went to a cafe where you can drink really good coffee

It’s a type of movie where the 2 main characters fall in the love
