On occasion Belinda has wiped all her apps off her iPad, worried that she has disclosed too much, such as her date of birth and photo. When she downloads apps now she doesn’t use her real date of birth.
In his book, McCrindle says, “In some ways, Generation Alpha are part of an unintentional global experiment in which screens are placed in front of them from the youngest age so we should pay attention to the addictive nature of devices and internet security.”

【答案】
I Have a Dream
Dear teachers and classmates,
My dream is to be an international volunteer who bridges cultures. Firstly, in a globalized world, cultural misunderstandings still exist, and I hope to promote mutual understanding. Secondly, my experience helping foreign tourists last year made me realize the joy of bridging gaps, filling my heart with a strong sense of fulfillment.
To realize this dream, I’ll improve my English and learn other languages to communicate better. I’ll also study world cultures and take part in community service to gain practical experience.
I know the road ahead isn’t easy, but I’ll keep striving. Let’s chase our dreams bravely!
Thank you!
