They spent a whole day in the Internat bar on the weekend.

Additionally, I heard that the boy in my class had a girl friend in the game, which is unbelievable and so surprising in that time. Besides, some of student did not take shower long time because thay would like to save the time for incrasing the level in online game. They usually ate one meal each day when they were playing their online games because it could waste money for them to spend on the Internet bar.
