Digital technologies have remarkably changed teenagers' life and work both positively and
negatively. According to UNICEF, 71% of 15-24-year-olds are online and one third of Internet users
are under 18 years old.
      Teenagers benefit from the advances in technology. They have various devices like computers,
tablets, smartphones, and applications to improve the ways they learn, broaden their relationships,
and spend their leisure time. They have more opportunities to learn, get access to information, and use
different communication channels inexpensively.
      However, they also face many risks. First, there is a concern about children's physical and
mental health. Statistics show that teens spend less time doing physical activities, and many more
teens suffer from obesity, bone and eye problems. Moreover, teens are also at risk of visiting
websites which promote self-harm or suicide. In fact, cyber-bullying on the Internet has become more
serious than bullying at school.
      Schools and parents should guide children so that they can use devices wisely and not become
victims of those devices and technologies.

     Speaking English is also important. You can find a friend to practice with, join a group, or take
online classes. Do not worry about making mistakes. Mistakes help you learn.
     Reading and writing in English is helpful too. Read books, newspapers, and simple articles in
English.       Write a diary or chat online in English. This helps you learn new words and practice
your writing.
     There are also apps and websites that can help you learn English. Apps like Duolingo and
Memrise are good for learning new words. Websites like Grammarly help you check your writing.
    Try to study a little every day. Even 10-15 minutes a day is good. This regular practice helps you
get better over time.
     Finally, use English in real life. Speak English when you are shopping, write emails, or talk to
friends. Using English every day helps you become more fluent.
      Remember, learning English takes time and patience. With these tips and regular practice, you
will improve quickly.
