something about second life

We had a very excited experience on Monday about the tour guide of second life. To a game player it is a funny and exciting game, but to me it is a bit complicated. As far as I know many girls play game just for fun or relax unlike boys like play games that full of challenge, and I am one of these girls. So if the game is set for girls to learn English I think might be a little inappropriate, and most girls will lose their patience before learned the language. However if this is designed for boys things are even worse. we keep hearing that parents complain about their boys spend too much time in front of computer, so if the second life is designed for boys to learn English I think the purpose can not be focused, instead they will pay more attention to how to play the game and how to challenge themselves in the game. I have to admit that the game certainly has some interesting parts, like you can go to any community you like and you can create your own business, know some cool people from all around world. These things can only be beneficial to those who are already familiar with the language and the whole game thing. Young children and teenagers can not find the balance between the game and language learning. Sometimes the community might have some freaks are talking something that not suitable for young children. Therefore whether the game is the play-centered or language-centered is a kind of tricky case here.
Another concern of mine is that sometimes the whole community got someone talks about sex and something inappropriate for teenagers. Younger students could be lack of self-control and it is certainly the responsibility for us teachers and parents to take care of what they are accessing online, and in additional the on-line world is also a place where everybody wears masks. In a word, I personally not that highly recommend for the second life as a language tool.
