Teacher: It’s great to see you again, class! What's going on?

Minh: We've decided to use Facebook for our class forum, and we joined some school club activities. We're also preparing for the midterm tests. It’s really stressful.

Teacher: I'm sorry to hear that. I know exams may give you a lot of stress. But stay calm and work hard. What other pressure do you have?

Minh: Well, we also have pressure from our parents and friends.

Teacher: Do you? Let's discuss these problems in your new Facebook group. By the way, why did you choose Facebook?

Ann: Because it’s user-friendly.

Teacher: Good! How about club activities? Do you find them enjoyable?

Ann: Yes. This year there are some new clubs like arts and crafts, and music. The club leaders will provide us with a variety of activities to suit different interests. And there will also be competitions as usual.

Teacher: Awesome! I hope you all can join the clubs you like.
