Hi everyone! I want to tell you about a film which
should appeal to teenagers: The Fault in Our Stars.
1 This moving romantic drama was directed by Josh
PL
Boone and it stars Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort.
It is based on the best-selling novel by the American
author John Green, who was inspired by the story of a real
16-year-old cancer patient.
2 The main characters are two teenage book lovers who
M
meet and fall in love at a cancer support group. They
decide to travel to Amsterdam, where they become
lovers.
SA
3 The phenomenal acting was definitely the best thing
about the movie. I found the whole plot very engaging
too. One disappointing thing was probably the soundtrack
which was a bit too monotonous for me.
4 This film is a must-see because it talks about love
and death as well as teenage dreams and fears.
That’s all for now.

As far as I am concerned, social networking sites make our
social life more varied and exciting. More and more adults
worry, however, that social media are teenagers’ only
means of interacting with their peers.
Firstly, many parents have trouble understanding their
FR
teenage children’s need to be constantly connected to the
Internet. This may be because they themselves use the
Internet for work purposes rather than social reasons. As
a result of this, online friendships do not seem acceptable
to them as they would prefer their teenagers to socialise
in the real world rather than the virtual one. Additionally,
parents cannot control their children’s online activity and
fear that their teenage child may, for example, become
E
a victim of cyberbullying.
As regards teenagers, they consider social networking
sites a very important channel of communication
PL
with others and a source of entertainment as well as
knowledge. The sites allow them to stay in touch with a lot
of people at the same time, share photos, play games,
blog or even do school projects outside of class. It would
be hard to deny the fact that the Internet provides them
M
with all they need: contact with their friends, fun and
education.
In conclusion, I would say that social networking sites
SA
help young people make friends with others and develop
their social skills despite all the concerns adults may
have. Since we are surrounded by internet technology,
grown-ups must accept the fact that online communication
is here to stay.
