Subject: Do I have a big problem?
Hi, my name is Paula, and I'm 22years old. I live with my parents and my two
brothers, but I hardly ever see my family. They say I spend too much time in front of the
computer, but I don't think that's true. I mean, I only go online five or six times a day. I
always get up early in the morning and check my e-mail before school. I read the news
online and listen to the radio on my computer. Sometimes I watch movies on the computer,
and I go shopping online. In the evening, I usually write e-mail messages to my friends. So,
I spend about four or five hours a day on my computer at home and three hours in class.
(l'm taking a computer class at school.)
So, do I have a problem?
Please tell me.
