VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W / S]

Do some writing using some of the vocabulary from today but focus on the tense of every verb. Ask yourself “is it the appropriate tense”?

I started to play computer games when I was at university. My favourite game then was PaoPaoTang, an online 2D game which had a cute style. In the game, you could form a team of at most 4 persons, and you had 3 minutes to kill opponent team as many times as possible. You could control the game character to set water bombs to trap opponents and kill them. The fun was to play the game with my classmates.
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 more better than 10 years ago, computer games nowadays look much more beautiful. And in the games, you get more freedom to do whatever you want. For example, you can kill the monsters in the Witcher, or you can just wander in the forest and enjoy the view. And best of all, games these days can always make you surprised, the choices you make in the game may lead to a whole different ending. But the biggest problem for me is I always lose patience to finish a game. So recently I play Cities skylines a lot. The game is so relaxing that I can hold a cup of tea and slowly build my own city and enjoy the pretty view of the city, and I can stop it at anytime.
