Hi Emma.

    Hope you’re having a great time. Thank you for sending me that article. It really helped me and motivated me to reduce screen time.
    Since I READ the article, I’ve decided to set a limit of 2 hours a day to electronic media and tried  TO TALK more to my friends face to face. I’ve also decided to change my eating habits and stop having junk food in front of my TV like I usually do. I will try to focus more on my schoolwork and get my grades up again.
    Anyway, have to go now.
    Hope we’ll talk again soon, I will keep you updated and tell you if I notice any changes.

Dear Jenny, 

    Thank you for the invitation, I’d love to spend a week at your house since we haven’t seen each other in a long time.
    I received some board games for my birthday last week, but they all need at least 2 players so I was thinking we could try them one night. I also heard that you HAD just bought a pool a few days ago so if the water WAS warm enough we could swim in it. I’m sure you’ve  ALREADYplanned some fun activities, too.
    I need to start packing now, I’m really excited!

     See you soon.

    In my country we have many traditional dishes that are tasty, the most popular ones are cabbage rolls, stuffed peppers and many kinds of soup.  ( HOW OFTEN DO PEOPLE EAT THEM ? )Unfortunately, people eat a lot of junk food quite often.
    For breakfast I usually have eggs, toast or a bowl of cereal if I’m in a hurry. Most of the DAYS I don’t have time to eat lunch because I start school at noon so I just pack some fruit and get some snacks on my way there for the day. After school I normally have soup, a salad or chicken with some mashed potatoes. I eat fast food for dinner, but rarely.
    My eating habits are not the best, but I’m sure I can try to improve them and eat healthier and cut off some sweets and junk food.

    In my opinion, some people might look at you differently if you have a lot of followers or many likes. Maybe you look cooler to them because you're so popular on social media. Maybe you  HAVE posted a funny video  that HAS GONE viral and the next day at school everyone looks at you with different eyes.
    Some people might go up to you and ask how it feels To have so much attention from the others, and it feels great, but not for long. After a while, people start to forget about your video that HAS GONE viral , maybe someone else has more likes than you now and suddenly you aren't as popular as you  HAVE thought because someone else  HAS tAKEN your place.
    In conclusion, being popular on social media can make you look better and have people's attention drawn to you. However, if you can't have that attention after your popularity HAS died on social media,  then you haven't GOT anything out of it in the end.
