Nicky: Hi, Kevin. Have you tried using the new SNS called “XMS”?
Kevin: Yes, I have. It is the new SNS where people can send messages, call others, and post different things online, right?
Nicky: Yes, that’s the one. It is so convenient. I posted a picture yesterday and my dad saw it at that very moment even if he’s in Europe.
Kevin: Wow. That’s cool, but you should be careful in using XMS and any other SNS.
Nicky: Why? Is there something I should be aware of?
Kevin: Actually, there is. Just a few hours ago, someone posted something using my sister’s XMS account. She was shocked when she saw it because she hasn’t been using it for about a week now.
Nicky: Whoa! That’s scary. What is she planning to do?
Kevin: Well, we told her to change her password and be more careful when using that SNS. You should be more careful in using different SNS, too.

READ

Nicky: Hi, Kevin. Have you seen the newspaper?
Kevin: Which one, the broadsheet or the tabloid?
Nicky: Oh, I’m not sure how they are different. Can you tell me?
Kevin: Totally. A broadsheet is a type of newspaper that you read when you want to know about the latest news and current events. News articles in broadsheets are often long and focus on politics, business, and international news. They rarely use images to keep their contents simple and clear. A broadsheet is also bigger and has more pages.
Nicky: That’s interesting. How about tabloids?
Kevin: Unlike broadsheets, tabloids aim to entertain the readers rather than provide relevant information. Their articles are often short and focus on gossip, jokes, word games, comics, and other creative contents. They also add a lot of images and use strong colors to make their contents interesting.
Nicky: Oh, I see. Thank you. Now, I know exactly what I’m looking for. Kevin, have you seen the broadsheet?
Kevin: Yes, it’s on the desk over there. Have fun reading!
