Amy’s friendship was on the rocks, so she wrote a post on a forum exchange for advice about it.

Whether they are walking to school, doing homework or just hanging out at the weekend, they are hardly     2    of each other’s sight. However, Jenny broke Amy’s heart.

They originally planned to watch a film last Saturday afternoon. But unfortunately, Jenny had a cold so that they didn’t make it. Today, Amy received a horrible surprise that Jenny had been seen     3     (chat) with another girl in a café on Saturday afternoon.

However, in the other reply, it is suggested that Amy should rethink this friendship and move on if this friendship is not equally valued.

Firstly, preservation plays a cultural role. Old buildings teach us about the history that happened before we were born and promote the respect for those     2     lived in different times and different societies. Architectural monuments cultivate pride of our past and heritage,     3    (make) us unique in the world. Historical structures bring character and certain charm to the    4     (neighbor) that people live in.

Secondly, economy is an important merit of keeping the old. A growing number of tourists choose     5    (visit) architectural monuments because everyone likes to experience the "spirit" of the place, which most often     6    (represent) through architecture.

Recently, the government has proposed limiting the playing of video games among the under 18s. It is the type of     1     (social) responsible policy since all of us have the potential to be addicted     2     our screens and digital content.

On a serious note,     3     (spend) time away from our screens from time to time is not only good for kids’ health,     4     also everyone’s. A lot of problems are associated with overusing our digital devices, from eye health and issues of mental health to addiction and     5     (education) difficulties.
