Many parents may feel that social networking sites are a waste of their children‟s time However, new research claims that the communication opportunities provided by social networking encourage young people to explore their interests, develop technical skills, and work on new forms of self- expression.The three-year study carried out by a University of California research team that interviewed over 800 teens
and conducted over 2000 hours of online observations.It found that social networking helps teenagers
learn the social and technical skills they need to be knowledgeable citizens in the digital age
The study concludes that social networking contributes to young people‟s extended friendships and interests While the majority of teens use social networking sites to “hang out” with people they already know in real life, some use them to find like- minded people Those interested in chess or international politics, for instance, can expand their circle with others who share the same interests and can find information that goes beyond that they have access to at school They can also publicize and distribute their music, art work, or writing to online audiences, and gain visibility and enhance their reputations The researchers said teens usually respect one another‟s authority online, and they are often more
motivated to learn one another than from their parents or other adults

It is not easy for adult students of English to improve their accents Unlike children, who are flexible, adults
often find it hard to change the way they speak This is why even the top or smartest adult students have
difficulty with pronunciation There are several things that an international student can do to improve his or
her pronunciation
One method is to sign up for a pronunciation class Studying pronunciation can help students to understand
the rules of English, but in order to practice speaking, students often need to be exposed to English outside
the classroom as well This is why many students say that studying in an English_ speaking country greatly
affects their English Living with native speakers can help students learn important cultural information
This can help to prevent misunderstandings that can occur when people from different cultures live
together
Living with someone from another culture can be difficult International students are usually excited when
they first show up at their new homes, but after a few months they may start to think about their home
countries and get homesick Students who are homesick get depressed quickly They might cry a lot or want
to be alone This makes it difficult for them to make friends and learn English
19.Attending a pronunciation class can be very helpful to adult learners who have problems with their
pronunciation
20.Misunderstandings can‟t occur when people from different countries live together
21.On their arrival, most international students may forget about the problems because they are very excited
