Finding Our New Style
Leo
I used to wear only black and grey t-shirts. I didn’t think about fashion very much. Then I found a teenage boy online who makes videos about skate fashion. He always wears yellow and red. I wanted to try it, so I bought some bright clothes. I thought I needed to buy famous brands, but he showed me how to find cool things in cheap supermarkets. My friends say my new style looks great. I never wear my boring dark clothes now!
Maya
In the past, my mum and dad bought all my clothes. I always looked like everyone else. One day, I saw a girl on the internet who cuts her old jeans and t-shirts to make new things. I decided to try it. Now, my style is really different. I use scissors to make my old dresses short and fun. Sometimes, my classmates give me their old jackets so I can make them look cool, too. It is a great hobby.
Sam
I love sports, so I only ever wore trainers and football shirts. Then I started following a guy online who shows people how to look smart but stay comfortable. Now, I like wearing a nice shirt or a jacket, but I still put my favourite sports shoes on my feet! I really love putting smart and sporty things together. My parents are happy because I look tidy when we go out for dinner, and I still feel great.

Writing a good profile for a language app
LanguageLink Advice
When you join our app, you have to create a page about yourself. You should only write a few lines because people get bored reading long texts. It is a great idea to talk about your plans for life after school. For example, you can explain what job you hope to get. You can also upload a photo of a cool animal or your guitar. This helps you find friends with similar interests. Remember to always be friendly!
SpeakEasy Guide
A good page helps you meet students from different countries. You should talk about your hobbies now, so tell people about your favourite singers or the sports you play. It is very important to check your spelling before you save the page. Always read your sentences carefully. It is also a good idea to ask a parent or classmate to look at it. They can help you make it much better. Never put your home address on the internet.
GlobalChat Tips
Your personal page is the first thing new friends will see. You must use a nice, clear photo of your face. Do not use a picture of a cat or dog because people want to see who they are talking to. You also need to update your information sometimes. If you start a new hobby, add it to your page! If you are worried about your English grammar, do not be! Other students are learning too. Just try your best.
