What is COMPUTER ADDICTION?

Obsessively checking e-mail. Playing online games for 12 hours or more at a time. Placing more value on chat-room friends than real friends. Neglecting family, work and even personal health and hygiene. They become addicted to activities performed on a computer, like instant messaging, viewing Internet pornography, playing video games, checking e-mail and reading news articles. Computer addiction may result from or cause compulsive online gambling, an online shopping problem, web surfing or even obsessive computer programming.

If you regularly spend more time on the computer than you intend to, experience distress because of the computer, or if your computer use interferes with your obligations then you could be suffering from an addiction to the computer.

languages

2. Read and translate the text and do the tasks:

It seems that there are various reasons for people to turn to the computer and to become addicted but the most logical explanation is that people use the computer to escape reality or to cover up their emotions. Many find it easier to socialize from behind closed doors in an online fantasy world. Others think that if they shop or gamble excessively online that nobody else will notice. Many people use the computer to self medicate for some problem such as because they are anxious in certain situations such as in social situations or because they are depressed. Others will turn to the computer to hunt for information and then realize that they just can’t get enough information. Still others may use the computer as a means of distracting them from the real world or from emotional situations that they have experienced. There are different forms of computer addiction but most of them all boil down to the same thing: someone is avoiding reality and trying to desperately escape from themselves. Internet computer addiction – this is where people are hooked on browsing the internet all day long. For example, some people are completely addicted to instant messaging other people all day long.

Then there are people who are addicted to social networking, such as those who have some form of Facebook addiction. Again, this is too broad…there are people who simply interact all day, and others who are stuck playing social games via Facebook, and so on. Some people are addicted to computer games. The addict is using the games as an escape, and plays them compulsively in order to avoid looking at themselves and their reality. Techno-lust is another phenomenon. People are addicted to compulsive shopping and buying extravagant gadgets in order to get a small emotional boost.

Read and translate the text.

Computer addiction can have a variety of negative effects on a person. The most immediate are social. The user withdraws from friends and family as he spends more and more time on the computer. Relationships begin to wither as the user stops attending social gatherings, skips meetings with friends and avoids family members to get more computer time. Even when they do in-teract with their friends, users may become irritable when away from the computer, causing further social harm. Someone whose primary friends are screen names in a chat room may have difficulty with face-to-face interpersonal communication.

Over the long term, computer addiction can cause physical damage. Using a mouse and keyboard for many hours every day can lead to repetitive stress injuries. Back problems are common among people who spent a lot of time sitting at computer desks. Long-term sleep deprivation causes drowsiness, difficulty concentrating, and depression of the immune system. Someone who spends hours at a computer is obviously not getting any meaningful exercise, so computer addiction can indirectly lead to poor overall physical condition and even obesity. Eventually, the consequences of computer addiction will ripple through the user's life. Late-night use or use at work will affect job performance, which could lead to job loss. As the addiction takes its toll on family members, it can even lead to failed marriages.

Таблица 7

You can set a timer, you can have your friends or family members time you or you can come up with another method of timing your computer usage. Make limits for the amount of time that you will spend.

2. Commit to only using the computer for work or studies

If you have a problem with shopping or gambling or other activities on the computer, make a commitment that you will not use the computer unless you have to perform a task for work or school

The following tips will help you to overcome a computer addiction on your own

3. Look for social support

If you are addicted to the computer, find others who will understand your addiction and talk to them. Talk with your friends and family members about your condition and your desire to change—they too can help you monitor your usage and to stay on track with your goals.

4. Keep a computer diary

By keeping track of the amount of time that you spend on the computer, the activities that you perform and the emotions that lead up to the computer use you can narrow down times or activities that are performed based on emotions and be better prepared to take control of your addiction and prevent relapse.

5. Get outside help

While there are advocates for online computer addiction help, this method of treatment seems like it could be rather controversial. This is because, if you are already addicted to the computer, chances are you do not need to go to the computer for help. The best bet is to seek help outside of the home through social support groups, counseling or therapy.

Role - game: «An appointment with a psychologist»

Play a role – game! Act out dialogues «An appointment with a psychologist». Use phrases «Giving advice in English». Role cards: Person 1: psychologist Person 2: computer – addicted.

Example:

Well, I recommend limiting your computer use.

How can I? What does it mean?

It means the following….(зрительная опора из упражнения)

Когда мы хотим дать совет, первым на ум приходит слово should (должен, следует).

Чтобы построить предложение-совет, мы используем should + infinitive (первая форма глагола, например, work, take, wear).

Покажем на примере: You should limit your computer use.

Грамматически правильно? Правильно. Новичкам, которые только начали изучать английский язык, этой информации достаточно. Но, если ваш уровень знаний средний и выше, наверняка захочется разнообразить свою речь. В английском так много синонимов, с помощью которых можно оживить беседу, что останавливаться на простом should не стоит.

Следующая «порция» глаголов, которую можно использовать в советах, это recommend, suggest, propose. Их можно перевести как «предлагать», «рекомендовать», «советовать». Подробнее можно увидеть их в таблице ниже. Для примера возьмем предложение «Я бы посоветовал (Вам) купить билет в оба конца, так как это дешевле».

your computer use

Любая комбинация из таблички будет правильной. Единственным «но» и частой речевой ошибкой будет конструкция: “I recommend/suggest/propose you to buy a round-trip plane ticket because it’s cheaper”. Я вас очень понимаю: после слов I recommend так и напрашивается коварное to, но не поддавайтесь на провокацию. А если очень хочется употребить его, лучше сделать это с глаголами advise, urge, encourage, которыми также можно заменить приевшийся should.

your computer use
