Question

【题目】 Livestreaming(直播) is turning out to be quite a big trend. From playing video games to dancing to K-pop, streamers are making big money simply by sharing their daily lives with the world. Some streamers even become world-famous, especially e-sports players like Shroud and Ninja.

I don’t really watch a lot of livestreams. When it comes to gaming, I’d rather play video games myself than watch someone else play them. But I understand that some gamers might watch them to pick up playing tips.

Sometimes livestreaming is a bit vain. A lot of streamers are just doing it for the attention. That being said, I’ve also found some good streams. For example, one streamer I used to watch would hang a sign around her neck that asked for tips. When her tips reached a certain amount, she would put a metal bowl on her head and hit it with a wooden spoon. It was weird(怪异的),but I just couldn’t stop watching sometimes. I’d never seen anything quite like it before.

Other streams can show us things that we wouldn’t usually get to see. Since you can start your own livestream with just a smartphone, even people in the countryside can show us their lives. I’ve seen parts of rural(农村的) China that I would never normally see by checking out their streams. It gives me a look at a lifestyle that I’m not very familiar with.
