A. Does the time really fly?

It was Lunar New Year and I‟d returned home for the traditional dinner. We had all finished eating when my
sister said, “Has it really been a year since we last sat down for a family meal? Where has the time gone?”
We often say that „time flies. It‟s saying that means time passes very quickly. Curously, as we get older,
time seems to pass faster and faster. Why does this happen?

Some people think that we had fewer new or impotant events in our lives as we get older. Years seem longer
when we were young because many things are happening. Also, time isn‟t so important as we get older.
Children often count the days until a special event. When we get older, we have too many things to think
about.

Luckily, time doesn‟t actually pass faster as we get older. A day still has 24 hours, and an hour still has 60
minutes. Maybe we need to find a way to slow down our lives and not try to be busy all the time.

B. Texting Teens

Recent surveys show a dramatic icrease in the amount of texting by teenagers. One survey says that more
than 66% of teenagers own a mobile, and they send about 190 texts per week! Some teenagers send
hundreds of texts a day. In fact, many teenagers spend so much time texting, they can‟t imagine life without
their mobile.

So why do teenagers like texting? What makes it better than phone call? Many teens say that texting is
easier, faster and more fun. Texts are private – they can send texts during class time and no one can hear
what they‟re saying. Texts are cheap – on a lot of phones, and you can have unlimited texts: it makes no
difference if you send one text or a hundred texts, the cost is the same.

Teenagers also say that texting is the best way to stay in touch with friends. They don‟t feel lonely or sad
because they can talk to their friends any time. It‟s nice to get texts from friends, and it helps them feel
relaxed if they are nervous or depressed. But texting has a negative side too. Too much texting can make
your thumbs hurt!

1. Teenagers are texting more than before.

2. Some teenages send a hundred texts per hour.

3. Many teenagers have problems without their phone.

4. Teenagers often send texts to their parents.

5. Teenagers have very high phone bills.

6. Texting make teenagers feel happy.
