Pre-Writing Activity: Social Media
Part 1
- I use social media mostly to interact with my online and real life friends. I keep in touch with them through private messaging and commenting on their posts or pictures. Also, I go to social media to check on what is happening in the nation and other parts of the world.
- My to-go social media sites include Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, and Instagram. These sites are easy to access and use and also do not require strong internet connections to work effectively.
