【英语4级听力】尼尔逊的电子游戏-Nelson's Video Games

Nelson loves video games. As¹ soon as he wakes² up, he starts playing. Nelson hardly³ ever⁴ turns his games off⁵. He only stops playing to eat and sleep. Sometimes he stays up all night playing. His mother tries to make him stop. "Go play with your friends", she tells him. "Don't just sit there all day."

 

The only friends Nelson has are video game players⁶, too. They never see each other. They only talk through the computer. "I am playing with my friends!" Nelson always replies⁷. Nelson's mom is worried⁸ about him. She thinks he is lonely⁹. She also thinks he is getting very fat. She does not know how to help Nelson. Instead¹⁰, she goes out to buy him new games.
