Video cameras are everywhere：schools，theatres and stores. But in recent years，they have entered our homes. Many parents set up cameras at home to watch their children's online classes and homework. Are cameras really helpful？What do students think about it？ | |
Li Ming Earlier last year，I liked to lie in bed and watch videos instead of studying. This affected my studies and made my grades worse. So my parents set up a camera to keep an eye on me. It worked. With the camera watching，I had to do my homework first and make plans for studying at home. When I was alone at home，the camera made me feel safe because I knew that my parents were watching on the other side. My grades improved after a year. | Zhang Hua When I was in Grade 8，my parents set up a camera in my room. I really didn't like it because I felt like there were always eyes watching me. I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep well at night. Knowing there was a camera around when my friends came to my home，they would speak quietly and carefully；we couldn't have pillow fights（枕头大战） |
I used to be very shy，so I wasn't good at meeting new people. I was afraid I'd do or say something wrong，so usually I just listened to other people's conversations. My teacher Mrs. Smith always encourages me to communicate with others.
One day，she told us that our class would put on a play she had written. "I need someone to play the lead role. Does anybody want to try？"she asked. A few excited hands shot up—mine wasn't one of them. Mrs. Smith walked up to me and said，"I think you're perfect for it. But you didn't raise your hand. "
Me，the lead？Was she crazy？Mrs. Smith continued，"I had been in consideration of（考虑），I won't force you. It's your choice. "Suddenly，I realized it was time to throw away my shyness and show the world who I really was. I looked Mrs. Smith right in her eye and said，I'll try. "
After five months of practicing，the big day finally arrived. My knees shook and my heart beat like I'd just run a mile. "It doesn't matter how you do tonight，"said Mrs. Smith（后台） for a final check. "You've already shown yourself how wonderful you are. That's the most important thing. "
I smiled because I knew she was right. The time when I stepped on the stage and people applauded（鼓掌），I proved that I could take chances and be brave to make a big change for myself—a girl with her newly—found confidence.
Do you know about the eSports（电竞） game？It appeared in America in 1986. It was a game between two children on TV at that time. Then in 1998，a show about a popular video game appeared on TV in the Republic of Korea（韩国）.
The first eSports game becomes an official event at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games. It has set up 7 major eSports events with 7 gold medals. However，the eSports game wasn't popular with people before. Not everyone agreed that it was a kind of sport. They didn't think it needed any physical power like other sports. Some people even thought it was a computer game. But it's hard to be an excellent eSports player. First，it needs strong mental power（脑力），the only thing the players do every day is practicing. Usually an eSports player has to spend over ten hours a day practicing on the computer.
Since China's national team won first place in the eSports game in 2018，the eSports game has developed fast in China. According to a study，38%of the young Chinese people under 26 years old want to work as eSports players. They think the work is very fun and exciting. As time flies，an eSports school，an eSports—themed hotel and a training center. At the same time curriculums. More students from these colleges will work for eSports in the future.
Now eSports games are official sports in many countries. One day we might even see eSports games at the Olympic Games.
