LISTENING TEST 6 – SCRIPT 1

ACTIVITY A
Charlie Bracke
I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t into video games. In my teenage years, I became obsessed with a
new generation of online games that allowed thousands of players to inhabit fantasy worlds. I would spend
as much as 12 hours a day in these imaginary realms. During my childhood, my passion for video games
didn’t cause me any serious problems. At school, I got along with just about everyone and maintained
straight As. At home I would go to the study and play on the family computer for a few more hours before
bed. When my parents complained, I told them it was no different from their habit of watching TV every
night. Besides, I was doing my homework and getting good grades.

When I went to Indiana University Bloomington, everything changed. I started skipping class or playing
games until 3 in the morning and no one seemed to care. After a difficult breakup with my high school
girlfriend and the death of my grandmother, I went through a period of severe depression. I started seeing a
therapist and taking antidepressants, but by my junior year, I was playing video games all day and seldom
leaving my room. Eventually, I was failing most of my courses, so I dropped out and moved back in with my
parents and I got a job at Pizza Hut.
Ultimately, my parents and I were thrilled to have finally found a rehab centre for video-game addiction. It
was very expensive, thus my parents decided to remortgage their house to be able to pay for this
treatment.
I spent about seven weeks at the house in an initial “detox” phase, following a strict schedule of chores,
exercise, meals, group meetings and therapy sessions.
Today, I still work at Costco, although I recently completed a degree in accounting at Bellevue College and
have begun my studies at the University of Washington. I own a Samsung Galaxy smartphone and an
intentionally old laptop. I also don’t have an Internet connection at home. Now, I can finally say I haven’t
touched video games since starting rehab in the fall of 2015!

LISTENING TEST 6 – SCRIPT 2

ACTIVITY B
Despite guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics advising that media use should be limited for
all children, parents admit their adolescent children still are spending far too much time playing video
games, according to a new C.S. Mott Children's Hospital national poll from the University of Michigan in
Ann Arbor. The survey was taken by 2004 parents of children who were aged 18 years or younger in
August 2019, and the report includes data from 963 parents with teenagers.
Overall, 86% of the parents said their teenagers spent too much time playing video games. 41% percent of
adolescent boys were said to play video games every day, whereas only 20% of teenage girls were
reported to play these games daily.
When parents were asked what they did to limit the amount of time their children spent on gaming, they
reported various techniques, including:
• Encouraging other activities-75%.
• Setting time limits-54%.
• Providing incentives to limit gaming-23%.
• Hiding gaming equipment-14%.

The parents also were asked whether gaming had an impact on other aspects of their child’s life. The most
common ways parents suggested that gaming could have a negative role included family
activities/interactions (46%), sleep habits (44%), homework (34%), friendships with peers who do not game
(33%), and extracurricular activities (31%).
One of the most important implications of the poll results, according to the researchers, was that parents
may not have a strong idea of how much their teenager is playing video games and may believe that their
child is playing less than the child’s peers. The need for reasonable limits also was highlighted, and those
limits should be linked to promoting positive activities and not be arbitrary. One way parents can become
more involved, the researchers said, is playing the video games with their teenager, which can help set
limits and create a family activity.
