Here's a sad story about the dangers of video games. Remember,  you are supposed to write a summary about this issue. (page 7)

 

Man dies after playing video game for 32 hours

A 27-year-old Taiwanese man died yesterday after playing video games in a cyber cafe for 32 hours continuously.
Lien Wen-cheng arrived at the cyber cafe in Fengyuan in central Taiwan at 10.30pm on Thursday and played video games non-stop, pausing only to go to the toilet, police said.
At 7am on Saturday, a staff member found Lien foaming at the mouth and bleeding from the nose on the floor of the cafe's toilet.
"They rushed him to hospital but he was already dead," local police said.
Police suspect Lien died from exhaustion, having sat in the same position for too long.
Less than 10 days ago, a 24-year-old South Korean man died at an Internet cafe in Kwangju, 260km outside Seoul, after playing computer games nonstop for 86 hours.

  5. You are right Erdem! Adults should be more careful with their babies. Remember the video about the social experiment in which the mother leaves her baby unattented in a hot car? This kind of negligence is totally unforgivable. Worst of all, most of the passers-by just ignored the baby's cry and walked on by, which is also a little bit inhumane. A civilized person should act immediately in such a case. Cheers!
