is grammar. To put it simply, ee
deals with how the sentence is written ara
spoken. We must know and learn about its
gyntax (arrangement of words) and morpholo
isructure of words) to create comprehensibre
and meaningful sentences, For example,
1. Amodel student is completin,
project.
2, Some wonderful paintin:
the hall for a week.
3, Abook red on is the table,
4. Allittle girl on the floor playing is.
\9 his final year

We can see from the above examples that
sentence 1 & 2 are grammatically correct. The
sentences convey clear meaning. Whereas
sentence 3 & 4 are grammatically incorrect, The
phrase “a book red” in sentence 3 should be
written as “a red book" and its preposition “on”
should be put after to be “is". Thus, the correct
sentence would be “A red book is on the table”,
As for sentence 4, we can see that the
sentence has verb and auxiliary “is*. However,
the location of auxiliary should precede the verb
‘playing’. The preposition of place “on the floor”
should be put after “playing”. Hence, the correct
structure is “A little girl is playing on the floor’.
At one glance, English grammar may
seem to be difficult. However, with continuous
practice, learners of English can easily construct
accurate and error-free sentences based on their
knowledge of grammar.

In this modern era, social media is booming
everywhere. We can see people use platforms

‘They utilize social media for different purposes like
business, family, social life, and even education.
Consequently, the constant use of social media has
both positive and negative effects on the users.
‘The positive effect with social media is that
it helps people keep in touch with others easily.
‘Those who rarely see each other interacts actively
on social media. Moreover, people can make new
friends through social media even though they
haven't met yet in real life. With this method of
communication, they can share their situation
and various information accordingly and quickly.
On the other hand, social media also delivers
negative impacts. One of the biggest concerns is
the poor mental health problem, often experienced
by teenagers and young adults. As people have
more screen time, they are exposed to various
contents like showing off wealth, beautiful
and handsome people, or one’s relationship.
Consuming too much of this type of content can
lead to insecurities and unrealistic expectations.
For example, when female users watch channels
of a lady who is pretty, successful, and popular,
they will have the image that they have to be like
that lady. Thus, they will unconsciously compare
themselves to that person which may cause low
self-esteem, and even worse, eating disorders,
‘As they are obsessed with what they see, they
may also develop anxiety and depression. Sadly,
social media users who spend a lot of their time
(on it are most likely prone to have depression.
When they become depressed, they will ruin both
their physical and mental health. Often, they will
also develop communication problems in real life.
1B.
Although nowadays social media is a part of
life, we still need to be careful as the users. We
must learn to manage the time used for social
media without sacrificing our responsibilities.
We have to take advantage of social media for
commendable things, but we cannot let ourselves
be the slave of it It is important to acknowledge
how to make use of the platforms wisely to avoid
problems.
