Interviews for Gaming Article
For Lesson 9, I am going to do an article on gaming. I've recently started gaming and I have found a "Polite and Friendly" place to game. It's a safe place for people of all ages, including teenagers, to go on teamspeak. Being a member of the "Polite and Friendly" clan includes rules and etiquette and just sharing the fun part of gaming. No swearing, no racism... just good old fun! The ages in the clan actually go from 11 years old to 74 years old! I think it will be a good article?

To Polite and Friendly:
This truly is my online family, even I’m not that a great talker in TS, I enjoy the company and voices of everyone there, am smiling/laughing a lot behind my screen.
It is astonishing the bond you can create with people you’ve never met or seen, never thought this could be possible.
And also all the great initiatives that are launched from within the clan, all reasons to be proud of.
In short, proud to be a member, we have an awesome leadership, officers and members.
