Minh: We've decided to use Facebook for our class forum, and we joined some school club
activities. We're also preparing for the midterm tests. It's really stressful.
Teacher: I'm sorry to hear that. I know exams may give you a lot of stress. But stay calm
and work hard. What other pressure do you have?
Minh: Well, we also have pressure from our parents and friends.
Teacher: Do you? Let's discuss these problems in your new Facebook group. By the way,
why did you choose Facebook?
Ann: Because it's user-friendly.
Teacher: Good! How about club activities? Do you find them enjoyable?
Ann: Yes. This year there are some new clubs like arts and crafts, and music. The club
leaders will provide us with a variety of activities to suit different interests. And there will
also be competitions as usual.
