Dear Celia,

I’ve found your address on the Internet; so I quickly began to type to you these few words
because I’ve ever wanted to have a friend from Algeria.
My name’s Barbara Thompson. I am a 16 year-old Polish girl. I am average height with very
long fair hair, and green eyes.
I go to a high school. I am a junior student in the scientific stream. In Poland, school usually
begins at 8 o’clock except Saturdays and Sundays, because everybody is on weekend. My friends
and I often practice tennis and we rarely go to cinema on weekends. But I never forget to revise
my lessons.
My family and I live in Warsaw. It is the capital city of Poland. My house is situated in the rural
outskirts of the capital and it takes a lot of time to get to my school which is in the capital center.
This is why I always go there by bus. Dad is a carpenter and my mother is a teacher. She is
excellent in her job. I have two brothers; Ted is 10 years old. He is a pupil too. John is 5 years old.
He does not go to school yet. My mother takes him to the nursery.
Finally, this is all I can tell you now. I will tell you more about my country in my next e-mail.
Please tell me about yourself, your family and your life in Algeria.

Yours, Barbara.

Dear Ahmed,
As soon as I saw your name on the Internet, I noticed that you are from Algeria, I felt strongly interested to
write you this email in order to exchange information about each other.
My name is Hector, I am Scottish and I am 15 years old. I am a secondary school student. I live with my
family in Glasgow. It is the most populous city of Scotland, not very far from the River Clyde where I often
go fishing with my neighbors. I have two sisters, Olivia and Ella and a brother called Ewan. I am the eldest.
My father is a carpenter and he is very successful in his job while my mother is a teacher. During the week, I
am very busy with my studies, so I always prepare my schoolwork and do my exercises. I rarely go out but
when I have free time, I sometimes join friends to play golf.
In the future, I want to be a doctor. I am interested in discovering foreign countries and learning about their
people and their customs. Next time, let me know more about your country and make me dream about its
wonderful aspect and its splendid nature. I heard a lot about it.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully Hector

The Social Networking System, Facebook, launched in 2004 by the founder Mark
Zuckerberg, is one of the most important breakthroughs in the 21st century. Facebook is
now an integrated part of every college student's life.
Facebook is used by more than 800 million people around the world yet little do people
know of the profound effect that Facebook has on their physical, emotional, and mental
health. A collection of studies that include surveys, interviews, and questionnaires will

impact physical health by increasing the chance of Upper Respiratory Infection (URI),
mental health by leading to web addiction, feelings of loneliness, narcissism, stress, and
body dissatisfaction. It alters the traditional familial systems that have existed since the
beginning of human life.
It is important to be aware of some of the downsides of Facebook in order to avoid
being a victim of its unhealthy uses. Many people are unaware of the great impact of
Facebook on their life when self- awareness is needed. Acknowledging and becoming fully
aware of the nature of your problem is a pre- requisite to solving it. It is important so as not

Reading.
A. Comprehension.
Read the passage below then do the activities that follow.

The internet plays an important role in the lives of people today. It is hard to find a house with
no access to the internet and every day, more people are discovering the amazing possibilities which
it gives us. But, with many advantages, there are also disadvantages to the internet.
First, every person uses the internet to do their daily tasks. It has made access to information
easier. Besides, we can easily communicate and share information with other people around the
world. However, the internet also has some disadvantages. For example, many people become
addicted to spending time on the internet, like chatting with friends or playing games. In addition, a
lot of information on the internet could be incorrect. So, it becomes difficult to select the correct
information.
Finally, it can be said that the benefits of the internet are more than the disadvantages and threats
it brings. The responsibility to be safe falls on the users themselves.
