Is technology making us more isolated? Alex: Hey Jamie, do you think technology is making us more alone? Jamie: Yes, I think so. Many people talk online instead of face-to-face. Social media seems like we're connected, but it's not as deep as real conversations. Alex: I understand, but technology helps us stay in touch with people who are far away. I can video call friends and family who live in other countries. Jamie: That's true, but sometimes people focus on their phones instead of talking to the person next to them. Alex: Good point. But it depends on how we use technology. If we use it well, it can help us have better social lives. Online communities can make people feel less alone. Jamie: That's true, but online chats can be shallow. Too much time online can lead to sadness. It's easy to miss real-life moments. Alex: Yes, balance is important. Technology should help us, not make us feel lonely. We should make time for face-to-face talks too. Jamie: I agree. Th...

A Mother and Son Discussion   Mother : Jason, I can't even walk into your room without tripping over something. Why is it so messy all the time? Jason : It's not that bad, Mom. I know where everything is. Mother : It might seem that way to you, but being organized is important. It helps you focus and be more productive. How do you keep up with your schoolwork in this chaos? Jason : I manage. I get my homework done on time, mostly. Mother : Mostly isn't good enough, son. You should have a study plan. It will help you keep track of your assignments and make sure you're never rushing at the last minute.  Jason : I guess I could try something like that. It's just hard to stick with it.

**Alex:** Hey, Sam! Have we decided where we're going for our vacation yet? **Sam:** Not yet, but I was thinking, how about climbing up the Amalfi Coast, some genuine pizza in Naples afterward, what do you think? **Alex:** Italy, huh? Sounds like a dream! But isn't that a bit pricey? **Sam:** Well, I've been saving up for a while, and you know, we might find some good deals if we book in advance.

Maybe we can use public transport or even join a tour group for a day or two. **Alex:** I like t...
