PART B_2

Social networking sites have improved communication between people. However, they also have some advantages and disadvantages. Knowing how to manage them can be challenging, but it is very important.

One of the most common advantages of SNS is the ability to connect people around the world. With just one click, people can get information, read news, meet new people, and communicate with anyone. There are also some disadvantages, such as issues with stealing and using other people’s private information. Some people share too much personal information, which could be used to harm them. Also, some people depend on SNS to communicate rather than having face-to-face conversations. Therefore, it is important for people to be careful when they share information on SNS to avoid problems in the future.

Some people say that it is better to have one simple goal than not to have any goals at all. Having goals is important because they give people direction in life. Goals should be clear, and to achieve them, goal setting is important.

Goal setting helps people focus on the things that should be done first. It also encourages them to work toward achieving their goals within a given time frame. Goal setting is like making a map.

Sofia:	Hi, Kei. I heard that Japan has many rice dishes. Also, is it true that plain rice is often enjoyed with rice seasoning that is known as furikake?
Kei:	That’s true. There are many kinds of furikake. Some people have “furikake gohan” in a busy morning because all it takes is to sprinkle it onto rice. Would you like me to teach you how to cook onigiri and gyudon? Those are some of my favorite Japanese food.
Sofia:	That sounds great! Could you tell me more about gyudon and onigiri?
Kei:	Gyudon is one of the most popular rice dishes in Japan. It is a bowl of steamed rice topped with beef and onions that are simmered in sake and soy sauce. Onigiri is made of lightly salted rice and it is usually shaped into a round or triangle. It is often put into bento boxes.
Sofia:	I see. I heard that in addition to rice, Japanese meals are usually served with soup?
