2 A. Do you know or play any cyber games that teach you something?

B. Read the text and find out in what way the cyber game mentioned can be of help.

Some cyber games may be infamous for their negative impacts such as addiction and causing
misconceptions but not all are the same. There are cyber games with various beneficial
purposes such as teaching, improving imagination, etc. Coleaver is a game that can help with
vocabulary learning in English. It is aimed at
children aged 7 to 10. You need at least two
players. The players choose an avatar that
is trapped in a maze. The exit door opens
with a different magic password each time.
When players start the game, their avatars
run around to collect the letters of the
magic password. The player to create the
magic password first is allowed to get
out of the maze. If a player can manage
to get the assistant that takes him/her
to the letters through the shortest routes,
things become much easier. But in order to
deserve the assistant, a player has to type
in the answers to the 5 questions asked
at the beginning of the game correctly and faster than the other player. If there are no 5
correct answers by either player, the one with the highest number of correct answers is given
the assistant and thus holds the advantage. You can access the web page of the game with
the same name. Before getting started, you have to create an account and log in.
