When I was a teenager.I received my first mobile phone at the age of 13.I quickly fell in love with the texting function((短信功能)，I started to send texts daily to my friends instead of calling them because texting made it easier for me to communicate with my family and friends whenever possible.It was a new way of communication for me.I could keep doing some other activities while sending messages I was also.more comfortable when I spoke my mind through these messages. Now when I look back,I want to know if texting changed how I socialized( 初二英语第6页共9页 )as a teenager.Did I lose in person social skills?I fecl that tcenagers are becoming too comfortable with texting and not praqticing face-to-face social skills.

In today's world,socially intcractive technologies((社交互动技术)havc become part of our everyday lives.cspecially for tcenagers.Teenagers in the US spend about 6 hours per day using mobile phones and they are the common heavy users in using the socially interactive technologies.I believe teenagers are taking the place of face-to-face interactions with the text messaging function of mobile phones.Texting gives a safety net for teenagers to communicate with each other. Teenagers can communicate what they want to say without the pressures()of being face-to-face to each other. .However,it is avery importantskill for tecnagers to be able to improvise.For example,in a job interview()you have no time to think or plan.What's more, youhave no chance to erase()what you say in face-to-face communications because you have to react immediately(快速做出反应).Besides,teenagers can read body language and facial expressions(面部表情).As teenagers grow and continue their lives as young adults,they will need to use these skills in many situations.That's why I advise teenagers not to just text others every time they need to communicate. )27.What can we know about the writer from paragraph 2?
