MSN, chat, email, Internet, computer games….

How do you call these activities together? I would need one expression.

I check my emails.

I write emails.

I play computer games.

I surf on the Internet.

I chat on the Internet.

I search something on the Internet.
I check my Facebook account.
I read my Facebook account.
I chat with my friends on MSN.

I want to write about my studentsÂ´ daily routine and we (Hungarians) use one word to describe these activities .

Thanks for your answers in advance.

Helena

PS Are my last 3 sentences correct?

Sorry but the question should be, What do I call these activities not how. How is used for the way you do something, eg slowly, quietly

I would call them collocations regarding ICT. You have more: scan a Web, apart from seach the Net, write /send/delete/edit an email, attach a document/photo, debug a computer, log in/out your email account, and so on.

I would call them "things I can do with my computer." You should maybe add " I find great worksheets" to the list.

Yes, you are true. My daily routine is simple: I come home and I surf www.eslprintables.com Wink

I agree with Helena2009 and would also define all those activities together with a single word: ï¿½surf ï¿½

Maybe you could say:

Computer Fun

A modern pastime: computer activities

Computer pastimes

Virtual pastimes

Fun Stuff on the computer

What do we do on the computer?

What can you do on your computer ? I can...

Maybe - "a computer addict": someone who likes a particular activity very much and spends as much time as they can doing it.

I have seen funny phrases like ï¿½mouse potato ï¿½ or ï¿½screenager ï¿½.
I suppose you want to have the English equivalent for ï¿½szï¿½mï¿½tï¿½gï¿½pezni ï¿½ (this is the Hungarian phrase) but I ï¿½m afraid you should stick to ï¿½play PC games ï¿½ because this is what actually most teenagers do on their PC.
