:.:)
A. Discuss.
Do you use the lnternet to keep in touch with friends?
• What is a social nenvorking website? What can members ofSN sites do?
B. Read the text and compare the information in it with your answers.

SN sites appeared just before the beginning of the
century and took the Internet, and the world, by storm.
Just a few decades ago, people wrote letters or called
each other regularly to keep in touch. Then e-mails carne,
and today SN sites allow users to communicate instantly
wjth friends and family.
In the past, people could play computer games with
friends only when they were together. Wrth SN sites,
users can play online games with people that are next
door or on the other side of the world. They can even
play with 'virtual' friends they've never even met. And it
seems it doesn't take time to make friends; it just takes a
few clicks of the mouse.
Until very recently, people used to put ali their holiday
photos in albums. Now SN users can display their photos
online. Just click on your friend's album and enjoy!
lt's easy to keep in touch with friends online, and making
virtual friends can be great fun. But when it comes to
birthdays, real gifts are much better than virtual ones!

because I hate living alone and I want someone to share the expenses with.
I'm studying Music and I'm a big fan of jazz and rock. I also play in a band.
My friends and I practise three times a week. On Wednesdays we practise at
my flat. so, I hope you're into rock music! In my free time, I enjoy watching
DVDs, chatting on the Net or going out with friends. I'm also interested in
photography, so I joined a photography group recently. I can't stand housework,
but I'm really into cooking. I'm not a great cook, but I'm improving. I usually
study for my classes early in the morning or late at night, so I like it to be quiet
during those hours.

Probably the most embarrassing thing l've ever done was two years ago. 1 was travelling by

There were many people on the train, so I had to wait for almost half an hour to get sorne
coffee. As soon as I sat down with my coffee, 1 realised I needed to use the bathroom. So, 1 said
to my friends 'Nobody touch my coffee' and left. However, on my way back to my seat, 1 saw
one of my friends sipping my coffee. 1 was furious! 'Hey, that's mine!' 1 shouted and grabbed
the cup, which wasn't a good idea because I spilt the coffee ali over him and even on a few
other passengers. But the worst thing was that the person with the coffee wasn't my friend.
lt just looked like him from behind.
My friends, who were further up the train, were laughing their heads off. 1 immediately
apologised to the people but they were still pretty angry with me. 1 wanted the ground to
swallow me up. 1'11 never forget that day.

would be more than happy to give you sorne information about the cookery traimng course I attended.
To begin wlth, 1'11 tell you about the course itself. lt was a very well-organised four-week course. The
