Dear Susan Luo，
I have a problem. My best friend Chen Lei become a game lover recently. He is interested in computer games. Every weekend, when I ask him to go for a walk outdoors, he always rejected me as to stay at home to play computer games. Sometimes, I think he may even forget to have meals or sleep in order to stay online all day long. What should I do to help him get out of the situation I’m very concerned about him.
Looking forward to your early reply. Thank you in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Steven
