If she really likes you then you need to speak to her. Don’t be shy! My advice; Be courageous! You can present flowers to her. I’m sure, she will be thrilled. Dear miss Lingva! I am in the 7th grade. I spend a lot of time on the computer. I often chat with my friends after school, and as a result I don’t have time to do my homework. How can I spend my time with benefits? Give me some advice. Burdina Mariya «Nowadays teenagers spend a lot of time on the computer communicating using different social networking sites. Some people think that teenagers prefer virtual friends rather than real ones. In my opinion, friendship in real life better. Communication between people is the most wonderful thing in our lives. Spending a LOT of time on the computer is bad. Spending 1-2 hours on the computer in a day is okay. Spending 2-3 hours is pretty much okay, especially if you need the computer urgently to do important work, but spending more then 5 hours on your computer is quite bad. It can ruin your eyes and give you quite big eye-bags. Exercise your eyes to reduce your risk of computer eye strain. Do some relaxing eye exercises like palming, thumb focusing and scanning. These eye exercises can help you to increase the flexibility of your eye’s muscles and, lower computer eye strain effectively. Blink often if your eyes are dry. When staring at the monitor people would tend to blink less frequently, this will cause eye dry. Let me conclude by saying, not only are computer games and chatting good for education and development of you if you use them properly; but also you have fun with it while you are doing your duties. Meet tour friends, help your mother about the house, do your homework and read books!» 2015, May / missLINGVA 27
