Hold your smartphone in front of you and look into the display. Adjust yourhair, smile, and press the button on the phone. Voila! You’ve just taken a selfie, andnow you can post it online. Selfies, or self-portrait photos, have become extremely
popular these days, with more than 90 percent of U.S. teens uploading them tosocial media sites.
People take selfies for several reasons. Today’s smartphones have front-facing
cameras, which makes taking selfies easy. You don’t have to guess how the photowill look, and if you don’t like the results, you can simply retake it. Photo-filter apps
let you add color and lighting effects to improve your photos. But these selfies
wouldn’t mean much without the existence of social media sites. Sharing pictures
on Facebook, Twitter, and other sites is what appeals to people most.
Some see selfies as a way to record life events. When you have a good time withfriends, taking a photo helps you remember the experience, and uploading it lets
you share the happy moments. Selfies are also great confidence boosters. The more
“likes” a person’s selfie gets, the better that person feels about himself or herself.
However, the effect that selfies have on self-confidence has also led to criticism.
Some experts say that selfies make people dependent on others’ online comments
for their own sense of self-worth, and this can lead to feelings of insecurity.
Ultimately, it’s important not to define yourselves or others based on selfies.

a. 13 percent
b. Nearly 20 percent

Students will

b. Sharing them on social media
c. Using photo-filter apps

WELCOME TO LIVE ESCALATE !
The Live Escalate series comes in three volumes, from Book 1: Base Camp to Book 3:
Summit. Each book is made up of 12 units and a review section after every six units.
There are reading, listening, writing, and speaking activities in each unit. Readers will bechallenged by the variety of fun and interesting content throughout the series.

A Complete Series
Each of the three books in this stimulating and pragmatic series is designed with a natural
flow in mind: listening a speaking a reading a writing, with the result being that yourEnglish improves dramatically while you’re unaware of the effort you’ve spent. The aim isthat with minimal friction, learners of all ages will assimilate this language with the same
fluidity a child does in his or her native environment, thus removing the sense of foreignness and frustration that is part of foreign language learning.

Unit Themes Focusing on Self-Expression
The units covered in this series pertain to ordinary life, focusing on the types of situations
and challenges learners encounter every day, including shopping, eating, socializing, odds
and ends around the house, leisure, and more.

Book 3: Summit
I CAN express opinions on somematters in a controlled way.

Book 2: Trekking

The game is so much fun! I play the game all the time, even in the toilet.
I just couldn’t stop playing the game. This is the best game I have everplayed, and I have played many! All my friends are playing it too! First,
it looks fantastic. Second, it sounds marvelous. And last, it is very
cheap! You can also play it with VR glasses.
If you liked the game Fish Trouble, then you will also love this game. If
you are looking for a fun game, then buy this one! I promise that you
won’t regret it.
