| ... I've been trying to limit my screen time recently. I've noticed if I'm not strict with myself, I can scroll through social media forever. So, I've started leaving my phone in my bathroom before I go to bed. I can still hear the alarm, but I cannot scroll in bed! How much time a day do you waste scrolling through social media? What do you do to limit your screen time? What do your parents say when you use your phone too much? By the way, my sister has finally got a job in a bookstore! ... |

Hello Mark,
Thank you for your email. It was great to hear from you. I'm glad your sister has got a new job — that's fantastic news!
To answer your questions, I spend about 30 minutes a day on social media. To limit my screen time, I turn off notifications and use a timer. If I need to study, I put my phone in another room. My parents say that I spend too much time on my phone, and they always ask me to read more books.
Now I'd like to ask about your sister's new job. Does she enjoy working there? What does she do every day? Is she going to work there for a long time?
Write back soon.
Best wishes,
Alex
