📖 #Online_shopping
Online shopping is really becoming popular around the world, and I have a friend that does all of her buying online. She says she can find whatever she needs from online stores and communities like Walmart, eBay, and Amazon. In many cases, traditional stores have a limited selection of products on display whereas an online store often has a wider selection of goods from which to choose. My friend also says she can also look up product reviews and compare prices much easier from her house than travel from store to store. Equally important, she can shop when it is convenient for her since online stores never close. This saves her time, and she doesn't have to deal with long lines.

📖 #Cooking_breakfast
Cooking breakfast can be fun if you enjoy it , and making food for someone else is even better. I usually cook eggs and bacon. First, I warm up the stove and then beat the eggs in a bowl. I prefer scrambled eggs, but I can make just about any type. I warm up the burner on the stove, and I pour the eggs in a frying pan. I use a spatula to mix and turn over the eggs. Once the eggs are done, I remove them from the pan and serve them to the family. If the eggs aren't salty enough, the kids can add more salt or pepper.

📖 #Cell_phone
More and more people these days have cellphones as a means of communicating with family and friends. It just helps you stay in touch, so if I want to talk to a friend, I just call her up no matter where I am. Also, I can take and send pictures with my cellphone, so I really don't need an extra camera. Of course, if my friend doesn't have her cellphone turned on, then I can just leave a message and ask her to call me back. A cellphone also comes in handy in case of an emergency and you need to call for help, for example, if your car breaks down, and you need assistance. To be honest, I don't think I could live without my cellphone.

#Driver_Education
On Saturdays, I am going to driving school because I want to get my license as soon as possible. During the class, we learn about the rules of the road, watch videos on traffic safety and defensive driving, and learn how to drive in different weather conditions. We also go out on the roads with the instructor and practice our driving skills. I am a little nervous because I do not want to get in an accident, and I do not want to get a ticket for not following the rules. I have to take the driving test next week, and I hope I can pass the first time.

MOM : Jane, how was school today?
JANE : Mom, it was fun. I made a new friend.
MOM : That's nice. What's her name?
JANE : Her name is Cindy.
MOM : Is she new to your school?
JANE : Yeah, she's a new student. She moved here from Seattle, Washington.
MOM : You have an aunt who lives in Seattle.
JANE : I know. I like Seattle. It's beautiful there, but it rains too much.
MOM : Yeah. That's why we're staying in sunny California.
JANE : Cindy and I have a lot in common. We both like drawing, playing with dogs, and eating pizza.
MOM : You should invite her over for dinner one night.
JANE : Can we, Mom?
MOM : Sure. We can order pizza.
JANE : Maybe I'll ask her if she can come over on Friday.
MOM : Ok. Let's invite her parents too. We can get to know them.
JANE : That's a good idea. They don't have any friends here, yet.
