 One of the most obvious negative aspects of social networking is losing face- to-face contact with
other people. Teens are sitting around with their phone in their hands all day long, tapping
messages onto screens instead of communicating with real people. Many teenagers feel more
comfortable with virtual friends than with real ones. The majority think that it is easier to chat on
the Internet because they lack communication skills.
It is also true that parents often have no knowledge about what their kids do with their phones or
computer. Crosby says that, "While kids are plugged in to social media, only about 40% of parents
are involved themselves." And because parents don't know the full picture, they also don't know
how to deal with a teenager's potential overuse of social media and might not even be aware that a
problem exists. Therefore, social networking can be much more immediately engaging with the
teenager's life than parents are, and this fact makes virtual communication feels more "real" than
face-to-face communication.

A hobby is a regular activity that is done for enjoyment, typically during one' leisure time. Hobbies
can include collecting themed items and objects, engaging in creative and artistic pursuits, playing
sports, or pursuing other amusements. B continually participating in a particular hobby, one can
acquire substantial skill and knowledge in that area. Hobby is something that a person develops
from childhood, more specifically during primary school, to late life. We can never predict when
we develop interests in new things and have a likeness towards it.
In this busy daily schedule, we all get so busy in our life routine that sometime we forget to give
out time for our hobbies. Indulging in a hobby is actually good for a sound health. We all need a
time of leisure for ourselves and that partícula time is when we like to do something that gives us
immense happiness.

Traveling is fun because you can see how people in other parts of the world live. One thing

In the United States, most people take a shower once a day in the morning. The showerhead is
usually mounted on the wall and cannot be moved. The bather simply stands under the water, gets
wet, scrubs with soap and often a washcloth, and then rinses off.
Children often take a bath each night and enjoy playing with small toys such as boats and rubber
ducks. Many adults, especially women, enjoy a soothing bath to get rid of stress at the end of the
day.
It is important to remember that when you take a shower or bath in the United States, you should
be careful to keep the water inside the bathtub or shower. Unlike bathrooms in many countries,
there is no drain in the floor. If water gets on the floor it cannot go anywhere and must be cleaned
up with a towel or mop. It can also cause problems for the floor. So be careful.
