Overall Feedback

The essay addresses the question but lacks depth and detailed examples. Grammar and vocabulary are basic, and coherence and cohesion need improvement for a higher band score.

Video
games
are popular among all age
group
of
people
. Now, more children are seen
playing
games
on a phone or laptop. While some
people
think that
video
games
are useful for learning, they also leave a negative impact on
people
.
Puzzle-solving is one of the educational
video
games
that is interactive and beneficial for children to
play
with. Such
game
helps to boost their creativity and cognitive skills. As we agree that
video
games
are useful, it can also harm
people
.
One negative impact that
video
games
have is that it may lead to a loss of the desire to
play
other activities. It can also affect one's eyesight as they have too much
screentime
from
playing
the
games
.
In conclusion, I feel that having drawbacks of
video
games
depends on the individual. We should be more
responsibile
and have a balance of
video
and physical
games
so as to prevent it from affecting us.
